Description
When Porridge was a wee kitten he toppled into a tin of tartan paint -- which is easy to do and not so easy to say.
Now he lives by Loch Loch with the quirky McFun family: Gadget Grandad, Groovy Gran, Dino Dad, Mini Mum and the twins, Roaring Ross and Invisible Isla. Everyone has a super secret -- or two-- and Porridge is always there to lend a helping paw when things go awry. If there's a fishy biscuit in it for him...
And things do often go awry in the McFun family. It's a good job Porridge has nine lives!
