The story is based around three main characters and their owners, Moxie, whose owner hasn’t fed her in a while, Ritz, whose owner is always busy, and Sady, whose owner won’t leave their house.
The cats all leave their subsequent houses one day to go to their favorite hangout spot, the alleyway, where among the trash they like to play in, they find something very strange. They find a finger, then a hand, then an arm. They pay it very little mind.
They then return home, tracking their dirty paws across town. Sady isn’t allowed in by her owner, and is scared away when loud noises pull up outside her house, Ritz finds her owner, and is immediately looked at, and washed, and rewarded. Moxie goes home alone, her owner still hasn't come back.
This story is sort of a play on cute horror and is written in a way to tell a story around characters, rather than the characters telling the story. Since they are cats, the narration will mostly be in third person, detailing actions rather than feelings and thoughts. The style is inspired by an australian author, Cate Kennedy, from her story in which a story is told from the perspective of a child who is on the spectrum. The story is told around him, because of his age and mental state, readers understand more than the character.
