Night of the Living Cat – When the apocalypse purrs
Most post-apocalyptic stories give us nuclear fallout, viral outbreaks, or shambling undead. Night of the Living Cat looked at those options and thought: needs more whiskers. The result is a manga that somehow makes you fear and adore its antagonists in equal measure. Our merchandise celebrates this wonderfully bizarre premise — because if civilisation is going to fall, it might as well fall to something photogenic.
