Cats are cute little critters that adore humans, right? WRONG. According to Pope Gregory IX's decree, Vox in Rama, they're actually demonic creatures sent by the devil to eat our eyeballs So, be a good Roman citizen and set these hellspawn ablaze. Please and thank you
In All Cats Must Die, a band of unsuspecting cats suddenly finds themselves in the middle of a war they never asked for. Led by their aging and wise leader, Rusty, they must navigate a world turned upside down by the Pope's infamous decree in 1233. Once rulers of the alleyways, these felines are now public enemy number one, hunted by Roman guards and rival cats alike as they fight for survival every moment of the day.
Luckily, there's one human who might not buy into the whole "cats are satanic" business: Augustus, a high-ranking Roman soldier with a few moral doubts. But defying the Pope's orders isn't exactly a walk in the park-it's a one-way ticket to execution. As Augustus wrestles with his conscience, he faces a deadly choice: stay loyal to the Pope, or risk everything for what he knows is right.
And to make things even worse? The rats are thriving, and the Black Death is just around the corner...
