In a farm in Japan, seven kittens were born in a cowshed. One of the kittens, named Chatran, demonstrates a knack for curiosity. Venturing outside for the first time, the cats play with hens, dogs and basically anything they come in contact with. Under escort from their mother, the kittens are taken to a small riverbank. Chatran, ever curious, accidentally leaps into the water, prompting his mom to save him. As time goes on, Chatran befriends a pug puppy called Poosky. The two continue to meet the animals around the farm, from crows to rhinoceros beetles. Nothing is left unexplored, including a painful incident with a crab. Eventually, the two move from exploring to playing games, trying out hide and seek. The game leads Chatran back to the riverbank, where he hides in a small box on the water. Poosky finds him just as the box begins to drift down the stream. Despite his best efforts to save him, including leaping in the water, the small pug comes up empty handed. As Chatran travels further down the stream, he encounters a curious bear. As the bear ventures over to the box, Chatran tries to claw him away. Poosky arrives just in time, though, fending off the creature. Unfortunately, during the skirmish, Chatran's box continues to drift. As the kitten travels further out, Poosky is not far behind, leading to a series of adventures for both of them...
