Considering all of the housemates, a kitty isn’t that bad. 😃

[gravelly announcer voice]

He was an ordinary cat, with an ordinary life in suburbia. But Mickey always had a feeling something wasn’t right. Then one day looking around the basement he saw _it._ All the memories came flooding back, he knew what _they_ did to him. he was through with their lies and deceit. He started a one cat crusade of vengence taking on the establishment and the law. He wasn’t gonna back down. He wasn’t gonna take it anymore. He was 10 pounds of fury and nothing was gonna stop him. Slyvester the cat stars in the real life story of Mickey.

See I was thinking Indian Burial Ground myself but your idea is much better. You’ve got the hum-, I mean, feline element pinned down nicely. But no love interest? No wacky sidekick killed mid-story?

Shouldn’t that be 10 pounds of _furry?_
