Seymour the hamster loves his life inside in cage; he has everything he needs–sunflower seeds, water, a flashy wheel to run on, and a girl who gives him yogurt drops.

Pearl, the cat of the house, has other ideas for Seymour. Pearl tells Seymour that if he comes out of his cage he’ll find the staircase is made of sunflower seeds and the sunroom is filled with yogurt drops. Tempted by this information, Seymour makes his escape, but as Seymour soon learns, Pearl’s tales were lies, and her sole intention is to make Seymour into a snack . . .

Hilarious in every way, “Memoirs of a Hamster” is pitch-perfect.
