Nine Lives

His life just got put on paws.

A daredevil billionaire at the top of his game has a workaholic lifestyle that has disconnected him from his family, particularly his wife and daughter. Her 11th birthday is here, and she wants a cat. Dad hates cats but needs a gift. He finds a mystical pet store where the owner presents him with a tomcat named Mr. Fuzzypants. En route to his daughter’s party, they have a terrible accident. When he wakes he discovers he is trapped in the body of the cat. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience his life from a new perspective. In order to return to his family as the husband and father they deserve, he will have to learn why he has been placed in this peculiar situation. The critics had a hairball.
