What an understatement.
My name is Amy Percival Venticus Akemi, but you can call me Homura for short.
Your name is Amy Percival Venticus Akemi (Homura for short). And you have just been hit by a car.
For most cats, that would be the end of your story. But not for you. A girl with pink hair made a wish, and you were alive again! She took you in and fed you and played with you and loved you almost as much as you loved her. And for one month, you were a very happy kitty.
And then the giant upside down girl came and made everybody dead. But that's okay! You made a wish with Bunny Cat, and then time went backwards and everyone's alive again. Yaaay!
From Sufficient Velocity comes the story of a kitten in a world that is horrible, as it fails to notice just how bad the things going on around it are. You can read it here
. Warning: contains lots and lots of cat gifs.
Tropes
