Hard-Boiled Stories from the Cat Bar

Where the sharp scent of gunpowder mingles with the familiar aroma of kitty litter, a unique sanctuary exists for dangerous men who harbor a deep affection for felines. Known as Kitty and Me, this exclusive bar serves as a refuge for a highly select clientele, all bound by one unbreakable law: no harm may ever come to the cats that call the establishment home. For hardened criminals navigating a ruthless world, it is the only place where they can safely lower their guard in the company of their favorite animals. Among these patrons is a hitman known only as Undertaker, who arrives at the bar carrying a heavy burden. He is grieving the recent loss of his cherished pet cat, Cheriko, seeking solace among the resident felines. However, his attempt to find peace is shattered when he learns the identity of his next assassination target—a fellow patron and devoted cat lover. The violent reality of his profession refuses to stay outside, and soon the bloody truth behind his latest contract comes knocking directly on the bar’s door, threatening to destroy the very haven he relies upon.
