The Yellow Monkey rock band is contributing the new song "Cat City" as the opening theme, and the punk rock band WANIMA is contributing the new song "Matatabi" as the ending theme. Heidi Shepherd (Butcher Babies) is offering the "Death Voice" for the “Nyaight of the Living Cat Theme Song,” with lyrics by Ayuko Saito, composition by Kōji Endō, and guitar work by Marty Friedman.
Each anime episode ends with an original segment that provides information about living with cats, and the anime's Japanese website has a dedicated page accompanying this segment with regular updates as the anime airs.
Famed film director Takashi Miike (live-action Blade of the Immortal, As the Gods Will, Ichi the Killer, Crows Zero) is the chief director for the anime. Tomohiro Kamitani (Katana Maidens – Tomoshibi, MIX Season 2) is directing the anime at OLM. Shingo Irie (Log Horizon, Golden Kamuy) is overseeing the series scripts, Takao Maki (Blue Period, Laughing Under the Clouds) is designing the characters, and Kōji Endō (live-action Ace Attorney, As the Gods Will, Blade of the Immortal) is composing the music. Sony Pictures Entertainment and Slow Curve are credited with planning and production.
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the manga:
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 manga debuted in Mag Garden's Comic Garden in October 2020. The manga's sixth compiled book volume shipped in Japan on February 21. Seven Seas Entertainment will ship the sixth volume on September 30.
