Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: A singer named Yolanda (Cristina S. Pascual) seeks refuge in a Spanish convent filled with very unconventional nuns.
Kitty Cameo: At the beginning of the film Yolanda visits her lover Jorge (Willmore). He is holding a blue shorthaired kitten.
When Yolanda arrives, Jorge practically tosses the kitten aside in his eagerness for the heroin she has brought him (fortunately he lets the kitten down awkwardly but safely to the ground).
Yolanda goes to the bathroom and hears a loud crash. When she comes out, Jorge is lying on the ground, dead from an overdose. The kitten is behind him, mewing.
Yolanda hurries to leave but stops. She grabs Jorge’s diary and hurries away. The kitten is not seen again.
Final Mewsings: Forget the diary! Take the kitten!
