Every cat contains multitudes

When a young couple accidentally come into possession of a playful kitten, their daily routine (and cramped apartment) is turned upside down. Soon they find their peaceful existence forever altered.

Charting the couple's ever-evolving relationship with cats - some they live with, others who exist only in their imagination - Invisible Kitties is a meditation on the quiet moments of everyday life and a celebration of cats in all their many magical, chaotic, extraordinary forms.
