(Good) My Roommate is a Cat

Series in one sentence:
An adult man is so incompetent, a stray cat has to be his mother.


Series in more sentences:

An anti-social guy has to go on after the death of his beloved parents, but his inspiration as a writer and motivation to mingle with the outside world keeps decreasing, until he comes across a surly-looking cat.
Her mere face gives him an idea for a story, though for the sake of it, he needs to keep the cat around. The cat, on her turn, grows to like the pampering, but has to continuously deal with her owner's neglected health.



Thank Heavens this isn't a series where the cat turns into a cute horny girl 2 episodes in. The characters and story were more serious than I expected, as for entertaining. A guy living out his life with his cat doesn't sound like an exciting premise.

It's sad and endearing to see this animal worry herself to death over a human. She shows honest concern for his health and exclaims loudly to want to protect this thing that is 20 times her size. I don't know if realistically speaking cats can recognize when a human is silently struggling, but most of the cat's mannerisms get a believable explanation. And let's not demand realism from a cartoon.
Generally speaking, the first half of an episode follows the human and the second half rewinds everything and switches over to the cat and her thoughts. It was alot of fun.

A fantastic short series, fairly emotional at times, would watch again.
