The pandemic was such a strange time. With nowhere to go and not much else to do, we ended up binge-watching an absurd number of documentaries—including, for some reason, quite a few involving cats. This was one of them.
The old saying that “truth is stranger than fiction” absolutely applies here. You genuinely couldn’t script something this bizarre and expect anyone to believe it. The whole story is packed with eccentric, often deeply unpleasant characters and one increasingly ridiculous development after another.
It’s the kind of documentary where you keep thinking, surely this can’t get any weirder—and then, inevitably, it does.
