The cat

The cat's physical appearance in The Cat and the 3 Rats analog horror is often depicted as a large, shadowy, and distorted figure, sometimes appearing monstrous with unsettling features that subvert the typical "cute" image of a cat. This can include features like unnatural limb proportions, too many or oddly placed eyes, a disproportionately large head, or a silhouette that seems too thin or stretched. The horror comes from the uncanny, threatening nature of the animal, which is a distorted, monstrous version of a familiar creature that represents death and terror for the three rats.
