Rigatoni the Pasta Cat is a delightful tale about Rigatoni, an exceptional pasta-loving cat. He adores pasta in all its forms: spaghetti, penne, fusilli, with pesto, in soup, or in lasagne—any way his owners, Ruth and Tina, serve it.

However, a twist occurs when Ruth and Tina go away, leaving George in charge. To Rigatoni's dismay, his beloved pasta is replaced with unappetising cat food. Can Rigatoni find someone who truly understands his unique culinary cravings?
