Ever-curious ginger kitten Milo and his new farmyard friend, faithful puppy Otis, stray far and wide when a raging river sweeps them away from their farm home, encountering all sorts of dangers and sharing a series of comic adventures.

The cat and dog of the title don’t “speak” for themselves, making their perilous exploits seem all the more thrilling.
Dudley Moore might not have been everyone’s choice as narrator, but his lively voiceover gives the action sequences a bit more bite and prevents the gentler moments lapsing into whimsy.
