Fans of comics, and heartwarming stories—not to mention cats!—will love Kitten Ninja, the origin story of the incredible Cat Ninja!

Before Cat Ninja grew up and became Metro City’s greatest defender, he was tiny, adorable Kitten Ninja and he battled...much tinier foes. (Hey, everybody has to start somewhere, right?)

In this spin-off prequel to the enormously popular Epic Original Cat Ninja series, our favourite feline hero takes on everything a kitten-size ninja has to battle on the way to his heroic destiny: a sun spot that won’t stay put, an irresistible ball of yarn, and—every cat’s archenemy—snow!
