Cat Sitters the short film
Four friends reunite to watch scary movies while cat sitting, but an unexplained power outage and the nagging suspicion that they’re not alone threatens to kill the vibe. One thing’s for sure: they aren’t splitting up. Cat Sitters is a queer comedy-horror that celebrates queer friendship, plot twists and a gorgeous hissy cat.
