What does everyone think of this idea? (Big Cat Singing Group)
I have a series (that wound up being 10 stories altogether,)
which is kind of based on The Cheetah Girls, except instead of 4 girls, it's 4 big cats. They are: Kala- dirty blonde lioness Kimba- Tiger Nava-Panther Kyri- Cheetah The group is called Growl Power and they have all kinds of crazy adventures, (with plenty of singing thrown in). Should I try to get it published or would it be considered a ripoff of the Cheetah Girls and/or plagarism? Also, does anyone like the idea? (If anyone has any questions, I can answer them!)

It can easily be written different enough that it won't feel like a ripoff. I see no issue here.

+1 But, I'm assuming this is a writing for kids project?

Yeah, mostly. There's a lot of deaths in the series, though, so maybe it's for 10 years and up.

No, most of the deaths are from illness or car accident, pretty normal things like that. For example, 3 out of the 4 main girls only have 1 parent, due to death.
