About the Show

The main character, Musti, is a sweet little cat who acts like a child. He lives with his mom and dad, and has many friends like Mr. Rabbit, Miss Tortoise, Miss Hedgehog, and Mr. Dog. Each story is simple and usually lasts about five minutes. The show is made especially for very young children, like toddlers.
