Premise
Tired of living in the forest, Washington the fox, Sam the boar, his sister Eugenie, and Suzie the blackbird decide to leave the wilderness and go to the city. To avoid being seen by people as wild animals and getting caught by animal control, the four take domestic animal costumes to disguise themselves as a dog (Washington), a cat (Sam), a rabbit (Eugenie) and a canary (Suzie) and pose as common house pets incognito. The Livingstones soon adopt them, and now they live in the Livingstones' house with their cat, Victoria.
Throughout the episodes, they must keep their secret at all costs. They also get rid of numerous enemies who sometimes intimidate them and seize the Livingstone family home where they have settled.
