Three million years ago, David Lister was put in suspended animation for smuggling his pregnant cat aboard the mining ship Red Dwarf. While Lister remained in stasis, a radiation leak killed the crew - but not his cat. Safely sealed in the hold, his cat's litter bred, evolving over millions of years into humanoid form. In this special, the posse meet three of these cats who worship Lister as their God. Lister vows to help them flee from Rodon, a ruthless feral cat and self-declared Cat King.
