The film's diversity profile is marked by a radical upheaval of social and biological hierarchies. It centers on a female-driven paradigm that seeks to replace the existing human order. While it excels in subverting traditional gender dynamics, it lacks depth in other areas. There is no visible evidence of racial the way different parts of someone's identity overlap or specific LGBTQ+ identities beyond the broad subversion of the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender. Ultimately, the work serves as a dark comedy critique of human-centric civilization, prioritizing a transformative, female-centric biological imperative over the representation of diverse human identities or social backgrounds.

Official Synopsis
The film is set in a small Texas town, where an ancient Egyptian cat god, in the form of a cheap statue, commands all the local felines to surrender their nine lives; a mass cat suicide ensues, as cat after cat throw themselves off roofs, bridges and telephone poles. However, the dead felines are revived, becoming beautiful women in the process, given one goal: mate with and exterminate the population of human males in order to make room for "The Great Litter".
