One day a letter arrives, congratulating his big brother Scotty for being accepted into Oxford. From that moment on life changes for Kippy. He is relocated to the old family home in England where he feels abandoned. He shares his days with his new nanny the horrid Nanny B Meane.

Once Kippy finds the rock he is taken on many adventures by the fantastical cat. On his first adventure he meets the dancing rabbits.
