I never thought I'd see a zombie short starring cats.

Cats have a long history of being used in horror films. It's because of the superstitions surrounding black cats and witches' familiars, combined with their stealth and aggression when confronted. It's a horror cliche for a cat to jump out of the darkened hallway as misdirection.

But cats starring in a zombie short? Cats being targetting and fighting against the zombie scourge? That's something special.

"Cats vs Zombies" is a horror short from Mr.TVCow on YouTube. A little kitten is trapped on top of a building, surrounded by hungry zombies. It's up to two grown cats to fight back and save their species from extinction. It's a horror comedy so cute you'll wanna squeeze it. Yes you will. Yes you will.
