Seymour the hamster's life is perfect until he's lured out from his cozy, safe cage by a conniving cat promising Seymour coveted yogurt drops. He spends a harrowing few nights hiding under the sofa and narrowly escapes a monster (the vacuum). This close-up portrait of hamster life, narrated with dry humor by Seymour himself, is illustrated with verve.
