The Night of the Living Cat manga series is getting an anime adaptation, slated for 2025. A teaser trailer and visual have been released as part of the announcement. No details on the staff and cast have been announced as of this writing.
The Night of the Living Cat is a manga series written by Hawkman and illustrated by Mecha-Roots. It has been serialized by Mag Garden’s Monthly Comic Garden since October 2020. As of this writing, there are five volumes out, with the latest being released on February 22.
Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed the manga in English, describing the plot as:
A virus spreads across the world, transforming all humankind into wild, slavering, furry beasts: cats, to be precise. Those few survivors who remain human take refuge in the dark corners of the earth as they fight back against the feline horde. Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past yet a deep knowledge of cats, struggles to hold on with only his wits and a will to survive. Yet the virus transmits merely through cuddles, and Kunagi finds kitties so hard to resist! Is his willpower strong enough to withstand this hair-raising cat-tastrophe?
The anime adaptation announcement was released in line with National Cat Day in Japan. The post-apocalyptic nature and comedic tone of the manga series share similarities with the 2018 four-panel manga Doomsday With My Dog, which had an anime adaptation that aired from August 2022 to February 2023.
