When Kim Taylor's cousin Mia and Mia's Persian cat come to stay for the holidays, Kim finds them not nearly as fun to be with as she had hoped. Fortunately, she discovers a tabby kitten. The kitten, whose name is Flame, has magical powers and is really a prince who hides in the human world for short periods of time in different kitten guises. Flame becomes her friend and saves her and the holiday while he hides from the evil uncle who killed his parents and is trying to steal his throne.
