A World Overrun by Feline Fright
Nyaight of the Living Cat, also known as Night of the Living Cat, is an anime television series that premiered in July 2025. Produced by OLM with Takashi Miike serving as chief director, the series offers a unique blend of horror, comedy, and thriller elements. The narrative plunges humanity into a bizarre post-apocalyptic scenario where a mysterious virus transforms anyone who touches a cat into a feline creature themselves.
The anime follows the struggles of the few remaining human survivors as they navigate a world dominated by these adorable, yet terrifying, furry beasts. Central to the story is Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past but an uncanny understanding of cats, who must battle his inherent urge to cuddle the very creatures that threaten to turn him. The series masterfully plays on the universal affection for cats, turning it into a source of existential dread for its characters.
