INTERNATIONAL KITTENS OF MYSTERY

One: The Wickerbowl Personal Transporter

When disaster strikes, international kittens of mystery need to get to their destination fast. Cars are too slow, helicopters draw too much attention and the less said about dog sleds the better.

The answer: a brilliant invention by the planet’s top kitten scientists – Miaow See Tung and Hercule Purro – the Wickerbowl series of personal transporters. They’re fast and, when operated correctly, inconspicuous. If a kitten needs to be somewhere else fast all they have to do is climb into the bowl, download the destination co-ordinates from the orbiting Kitten Command Center (Wickerbowl Five) and then – poof – the Wickerbowl dematerializes, materializing at the destination less than a second later.

Kai aboard Wickerbowl One

Here we see new recruits, Kai (above) and Xena (below), trying out Wickerbowl One – the single-seater sports model ideal for transporting a lone kitten into a tight spot.

Xena aboard Wickerbowl One

All Wickerbowl personal transporters come with standard features. They’re bullet proof, flame resistant, and hold fruit.

The two-headed kitten

Here we see Kai and Xena in the larger Wickerbowl Two model – the two-seater (some would say two-headed) estate model.

Kai hangs on

And here’s Kai, hanging on, as they re-materialize back at Training Camp Alpha after their first journey.

Kai stretches

"Ow, ow," says Kai. "Leg haz cramp! Must stretch now or I’ll get deep pan thrombolosis!"

Xena shares a look with her trainer

Xena shares a look with her trainer. "You iz not sending me out with him again, iz you?"

Groggy

Five practice journeys later and the new recruits are looking a bit groggy. Travel through sub-space can take a while to get used to.

Don't look into their eyes!

After a break and a lightly poached mouse the kitten recruits return for an afternoon session of formation flying. It’s the first solo flights for both cats and they learn two things. One, never fly on a full stomach. And, two, formation flying not only makes you dizzy – it can make your eyes turn a funny color too.
