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

Synopsis: A tender moment between a man and a woman on a city street turns into something quite bizarre.

Kitty Cameo (with Cartoonish Kitty Carnage Warning): It turns out the couple are inhabited by two male puppeteers who pop out and start fighting. They use what they can as weapons. One sees a Siamese tabby mix cat nearby.

He flings the cat (clearly a fake cat) at his opponent who swallows the animal. We hear a lot of Poor Cat screech sounds as the cat thrower pulls the cat, now a sword, out of the other man.

They fight until the first man loses the sword, which flies off to the sidewalk and becomes a cat again. Although now it is a Snowshoe Himalayan.
