Franklin begins taking things apart when he is just three months old. It is easy to find interesting objects to deconstruct at the landfill where he lives with his family. But Franklin tires of being known as the odd cat with a strange hobby. He decides to make his home in the country, where he might find some peace and quiet, and keep his unusual hobby to himself. But things do not go quite as planned.
