''[[Cat Soup]]'' (a.k.a. ''Nekojiru-Sou'') is a multiple award-winning short film directed by Tatsuo Sato and inspired by the work of manga artist Nekojiru.
It centers around a family of anthropomorphic cats, specifically two kittens: the [[Ill Girl|terminally ill]] Nyaako and her younger brother Nyaata. After Nyaako dies, Nyaata manages to take back [[Our Souls Are Different|half of her soul]] from [
Not to be confused with ''[[Neko Ramen]]''.

* [[All There in the Manual]] - Nyaata and Nyaako are only given names on the movie's websites.
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] - The Father Time equivalent towards the end.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
** {{spoiler|Becomes worse when you find out it was made a a tribute to the director's wife who struggled with depression, that he tried his best to help her out of, before killing herself. The entire thing is about the inevitability of death. In the end, the director could not prevent his wife's suicide, and Nyaata could not prevent his own family's end.}}

* [[Everythings Cuter With Kittens]]

* [[Feather Fingers]] - One scene has a fish walking on its tailfin.
* [[Free
* [[Fridge Horror]] - In a very visceral, general sense. The all-around creepiness takes some time after watching to really sink in. {{spoiler|It's about dying.}}
* [[Funny Animal]]: In a [[Black Comedy|very dark]] and [[Cats Are Mean|disturbing]] way.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Mind Screw]]
* [[Nobody Poops]] - Averted twice, possibly [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|symbolically]]. The [[Contemplate Our Navels|first]] time leads to a visual digression on the circle of life and death, while the [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|second]]...

* [[Word Salad Title]] - The English title sounds like this -- but it's [[Exactly What It Says
** Actually, there's another reason behind the odd title. The movie is based on the works of a comic artist with the pen name "Nekojiru" ("boiled cat stew"). Her works often had "nekojiru" in them - this movie's original title, in fact, is "Nekojiru-sou" ("boiled cat stew grass"). "Cat Soup" is an English pun on "catsup," a spelling of "ketchup," and thus the closest the translator could get to a morbid English food-related cat pun similar to the original.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]] - {{spoiler|Everyone dies. Even ''you''.}}
