Cat # 42 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In Endless Nights, we get a glimpse of 15 portraits of Despair. One of my favorite and most difficult to read involves cats.

The story tells us about a man who loves cats and lives in a trailer. He adopts stray cats and eventually he has sixty or maybe seventy cats living with him in the trailer. One day the man leaves to take a job and is unable to return to feed the cats.

This is one of the saddest and most horrific stories in Endless Nights.

This cat is one of those cats.

The cat appears in Endless Nights (on page 85), in 15 Portraits of Despair, on page 6, in panel 3.
