What will cat-hating TJ do when four cats arrive on his doorstep?

At first reluctant to care for his grandmother's cats while she is away on vacation, TJ eventually grows a heart for the animals and in the end, the entire family learns some important lessons.

TJ Overcame His Fear of cats in TJ and the Cats and his fear of ghosts in TJ and the Haunted House. Now he's not so keen on facing his fear of failure. His best friend Seymour is determined to come up with the latest greatest invention, and TJ's gran expects TJ to build a rocket. The kittens, T-Rex and Alaska, are eager to get involved. When the first rocket that TJ builds plummets out of the sky, no parachute in sight, TJ is sure that his efforts are doomed. But are they?

Spending Christmas holidays in the wilderness with his ex-con aunt Mag is not Evan's idea of a good time. What's worse is that everyone he meets-even his new friend Cedar-is making a big deal about a loon that is hanging around on the lake. Why should Evan care about a dumb bird' When he discovers that the loon will die without help, he realizes he does care, but rescuing the wild bird turns out to be whole lot harder, and more dangerous, than he expected.
