Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Laura Snow (Dana Brooke) is struggling with various relationships and her place in the world.

Featured Feline: The cat which Laura gets does not come until the final minutes of the film. Laura is coming home to her apartment when a tabby and white cat suddenly appears. She greets the cat who then walks right into her apartment and makes herself at home.

Laura pets the cat and names her Pepper, pondering where she came from and if she is a good or evil cat.

The implication made earlier in the film is that if Laura ended up with a cat it would mean she was essentially done with relationships. By having Pepper come into her life, Laura seems to be accepting that her current relationships are really over.
