You probably didn’t know your cat is a secret agent. While you are away at school or work, they hack into computers, pass on secret messages, and attempt to fix things the humans got wrong. Right under the noses of their unsuspecting owners they strive to save us from catastrophe. Romulus and his brother Remus graduated from secret agent training school and are now full-fledged agents for the Cerulean Order of Felines. Together with their friends, they are unraveling the mystery of the Carbonara Clam. They are determined to carry on with the legacy of their predecessor, Smidgen, who had discovered an unusual clam with the amazing ability to clean the environment. The Carbonara Clam is in grave danger. The mutant rats of the Shadow Realm plan to steal it for nefarious reasons. Once again Romulus and his friends are up against their formidable enemy. Should the forces of the Shadow Realm succeed, a dire future awaits. To make things worse, Romulus gets himself into trouble. He and his feline friends must set things right and save the Carbonara Clam. There’s a lot riding on this. Can they pull it off?
