COMING APRIL 2027: "The Cats of Dogville" 🐱🐶💛

It's a feud as old as time: the ongoing squabble between cats and dogs over which species holds dominion of the human heart. Here is the story of just one skirmish...

In the city of Dogville, it's obvious that dogs are everyone's favorite pet (it's in the name). But after a secret meeting, the Dogville cats decide it's their time to take over as the favorite pet companion.

This feline fable is for anyone who has ever owned a cat and recognizes the sense of superiority that is part of their kitty DNA. And that is why we love them.
