Written and directed by Zizi Azah Bte. Abdul Majid, How Did the Cat Get So Fat? is a fable/parable told through the eyes of Fatimah, a nine-year-old with a single parent family, performed by Siti Khalijah Zainal. Fatimah travels on a kiddie ride with a lion she has named Mr Minismen and meets people who are representative sections of Singapore society, e.g. the maid, the prosperous wife, the religious man, the taxi driver, the tireless yuppie.

How Did the Cat Get So Fat? seeks to examine how the national pledge applies to and manifests itself in various strata of Singapore society, seen through the eyes of a young girl.
