Plot
Two blue siblings Kit and Kate, wondering what to play for the day, get inside a box and discover an item. The siblings then get out of the box and go on an 'adventure' related to the item. However, their 'adventure' often ends in a bad result because of a behaviour of either Kit, Kate or both. Then, either the siblings' mother or father appears, disguised as someone passing by, listens to the siblings, and gives some advice. The siblings, already recognising their parent, thank the parent, and go on their 'adventure' again from the beginning, but doing some things differently as advised, this time ending in success.
In every episode of season 2, Kit and Kate make up a story together, sometimes getting help from their parents and grandfather to think of the name of the story and its synopsis. The story then begins with a character doing a specific thing. Then, Kit and Kate high-five each other which magically sends them into the story. Often, the character mentioned in the story or Kit and Kate get into a bit of a hassle, but as soon as they learn something, they try retelling the story, but this time changing it via the moral that they learnt all the way.
Though the show itself implies the siblings are cats, they don't look much like cats.
Characters

- Kate (Female) (Russian: Катя) Desc: Kate is the youngest sibling in the family. She only knows a few things but she still plays with Kit.
