26 episodes · in order

Susan has been having bad dreams, and without Tucker there to comfort her, she fears something terrible has happened. The cat council has ordered him to stay in Cat City and guard the gate, and it feels like they’re trying to keep the two friends apart. Then Tucker learns that Susan’s nightmares are real: she’s been kidnapped. The cats won’t help, the Rat King is preparing to attack, and an old enemy is still plotting to take over Cat City. If anyone is going to save Susan, it will have to be Tucker.
