I'm sure there are those who will take umbrage at the way B.Z. Florida depicts our feline overlords, but there's a great deal of truth in this short and edgy comedy that had the audience at the Valdez Theatre Conference in 2026 laughing and cringing at the the thought of the possibility that the truth about cats is proffered here. Meowch!

06.17.26 - Just when you think your beloved pet has your back (wait, what am I saying, we’re talking about cats here) BZ Florida shines a spotlight on the slippery slope trusting them can be. Then again, when you work for The Company That Murders Children, maybe you got it coming from our feline friends. Funky and funny as hell.

Cats have been divine agents since the days of Egypt, and instruments of supernatural justice from Edgar Allan Poe onward. (That's why we love the little scamps.) B.Z. Florida's sly innovation in his short play THE CAT is to have the crimes its title character is out to punish not really be some horrific murders ("The Company That Murders Children" notwithstanding) but the tiny rationalizations we all perform each day which enable the worst among us. Funny and sinister. Like cats.
