Plot summary

The Cat in the Hat works at an otherworldly institute whose strange creatures visit children. After a chaotic visit, CEO Mr. Hoogeboom wants to fire him, but Sherrie from HR gives him one last chance. His new clients are Gabby and Sebastian, siblings who have just moved to Highland after their mother, Carmen, takes a hospital job. Gabby misses their old home, and strict landlady Patty bans pets, so the family hides its goldfish, Waffles. When Carmen leaves for work, the Cat arrives through a small door and introduces a stopwatch called the Go-Backer, which can reverse time. Gabby wants it to undo the move. A scuffle sends the watch into one of three boxes holding the family's possessions, which the Cat's magic has made into pocket dimensions. The Cat promises to help her retrieve it.
