A lighthearted animated parody that uses the 12-step program framework to humorously explore addiction and self-improvement through the lens of cartoon predator-prey dynamics.

In this spoof of Alcoholics Anonymous, pussycats are cast as bird-eating addicts and go through the 12-step process to deal with their addiction. Sylvester, who could never quite get the best of the object of his desire, Tweety Bird, joins and resolves to quit chasing and eating the canary.
