Imagine a world where a human touches a cat and instantly becomes a cat him/herself! Well, you don't have to imagine it because director Tomohiro Kamitni has done it for you (with the legendary Takashi Miike serving as executive director) in what I assume is a television series in Japan. Anime, of course, with dozens and dozens of the cutest cats ever, all behaving just like cats do - even the ones that were humans 10 seconds earlier! There's a bit of a storyline, having to do with the owner of a cat cafe, an amnesiac worker in the cafe, a bodybuilding customer of the cafe and a youngster who's allergic to cats trying to escape the city before being turned into cats themselves; their greatest difficulty, aside from the sheer number (and growing) of cats in the city, is that they must battle their own instinctive response to the felines, to play and touch and stroke and purr at them - but if they do, they are doomed!
If you are a lover of cats (and the Fantasia International Film Festival screening of these episodes was absolutely teeming with cat lovers), you will love this film/series/whatever-it-is. But beware: almost unbearable adorable cuteness awaits!
