    • Suzy ist eine kleine gestreifte Katze mit langen weißen Schnurrhaaren, die in einem französischen Küstendorf mit einem Fischer und seinen vier Söhnen lebt. Sie mag es, in Frankreich zu leben, Schmetterlingen nachzujagen und gegen den Strich gestreichelt zu werden. Sie mag es nicht, sich zu weit von zu Hause zu entfernen. Aber wie alle Katzen ist Suzy sehr neugierig - was Probleme verursacht, als sie in den Korb eines Heißluftballons klettert, einschläft und über den Kanal nach England getragen wird!
