My cat usually goes missing for like 2 weeks and comes back unscathed, but two years ago he just up and left and never came back. I hope he's now the worlds best barber
Definitely think the screaming voice he hears at night is his own conscience regretting him leaving his home. When he tells it to shut up, he’s come to the conclusion he needs to return home.
This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam that I find myself constantly coming back to. For me the part that brings me comfort is that the cat can go and have an adventure, his family still loves him and are looking for him. And when he decides to go back home, they accept him back no questions asked. I think everyone wishes they had someone, a family to run to when things get too hard.
The job market in my town is like that right now. Except then we have the trouble that 2/3 of the people newly hired end up quitting two weeks later...
Cat runs away from home gets an apartment gets a job hears a scream becomes a alcoholic gets fired then kills the kid who was screaming loses his apartment then goes home. The end :)
He becomes an alcoholic because of the monotony of working life. The screaming drives him up the wall because he feels guilty for not helping the person screaming, this leads to his alcoholism
I love how there is two types of people in this comment section, one half is trying to break the video's meaning down and understand its deeper message and the other half is just like "hee hoo kitty cat"
He wanted to escape his past and start a new life. But he let his regrets drag him down, down until he succumbed. He had no choice but to embrace his past.
Idk if I could have related to this anymore than I do right now. The whole being on your own trying to make it, the pestering screams of 'shit this don't work', the drinks to try and drown the noise out, being fired and going back home. Damn..
True. My cat went missing for a week and came back a trashed mess. I always wondered what kind of bender he went on, but he appreciated me from that point on until the day he died. Some cats need that kind of wake up call. 😂
This is absolutely beautify. I love your animation style and the colours and the wonky angles you used. I'm studying to get into an animation college and hope that one day i an make something like this. Thank you so much for putting this out there
Love this artist, his videos are either to be taken almost literally, in a playful perspective, or terribly complex, full of simbols that let you identify with the characters. Either way, this lucid dream atmosphere has become a drug for me.
What is this channel, why it is so addictive, and why until now YT just recommended me this??? The animation is... haunting, is so great, a beautiful work of art!
The cat shrugging the screaming off with "it's not my problem" and the screaming going away for the rest of that night kinda implies that it's actually his inner guilt of escaping his home not allowing him to find peace.
@@Awalys I thought it was the customers that he served, who saw themselves in the mirror only to be shocked bc the mirror back at the parlor was some, idk self editing mirror where it made the customer look good with the hairstyle but turns out they don't and the hairstyle is horrible
Bruh the whole story wouldnt have happened if it was just a premiseless cartoon. This isnt an adstract and if it were there would still be meaning behind it due to the nature of the art.
I literally watched this last year, I liked it and everything. It was lurking in my reccomended for three days and I finally watched it. Thanks youtube algorithm!!
"Cat City is a movie about a cat who runs away from home to start a new life in the city. The cat is trying to live on his own, but his life away from home isn’t what he imagined it would be. Despite his initial success, he becomes disillusioned by the whole ordeal rather than finding fulfillment or happiness. He becomes depressed due to lack of sleep and the repetitive nature of his life, and he turns to alcohol to cope with the stress. It all goes downhill from there. I wanted to portray a world where a character’s experience in the physical world is a reflection of their emotional turmoil. In a way, it parallels my own experience of growing up and leaving home to pursue what I thought was my dream, and then slowly realizing it wasn’t what I thought it would be." -Victoria Vincent
this video is so disorienting and i love it. the bendy environment and loose linework. the music that overpowers everything else at times, the general confusion from the weird plot of it. this is a true work of art
The story is basically, the adult life when you move out of home. The depiction is clear, too lazy to explain but. You want something, then work. Living alone, having fun at night. But the city life is noisy, unpeaceful. An everyday repeat, occasionally there's something new, but otherwise it's just a repeated cycle in that life. Girl finding the cat is your first home before you grown out, your parents or loved ones, theyre missing you everyday. City life as an adult is fun, you could do everything you want as long as you can, but some things just get tiring, especially when everytime it's like that, unless it's your passion. I don't have anything against barbers, but clearly, some jobs you work on is not really want you want or your passion in your life, some of us are just forced on circumstances.
Yes it is, i love it. The lines, the colors, the characters, its just simple but yet totally amazing and extremely entertaining. I feel inspired to be a cartoonist now.
He changed so much and tried so hard to escape something positive in his life for freedom. A trade off that sounds terribly bitter sweet. And to come home defeated and genuinely lost to open arms.. Feels good man. Feels bad man.

there’s something so familiar and nostalgic about this art style.
reminds me of pink panther, the nyc scene from fantasia, and looking at the cars and wandering the downtown streets with my cousins. man.

music video for pasosh когда тебе грустно has almost the same art style. Aslo the song is a banger.
To me, this reminded me of Petit Vampire from Joann Sfar. Which I saw in the Netherlands (ofcourse in Dutch) as a kid.
it’s similar to that children’s book pete the cat!
Definitely think the screaming voice he hears at night is his own conscience regretting him leaving his home. When he tells it to shut up, he’s come to the conclusion he needs to return home.
