WHAT THIS SHOW IS ABOUT
Pete the Cat is about a cool, groovy cat named Pete who comes to stay with the Biddle family. Jimmy Biddle is a very good student, but he is worried about a big test at school.
Pete helps Jimmy see that life is not just about being perfect. Together, they go on a big adventure with music, art, imagination, and new friends. Along the way, Jimmy learns that mistakes are okay, trying new things can be fun, and sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to look at it in a new way.
By the end of the show, Jimmy, Pete, and the whole family learn to be brave, creative, and a little more groovy.
