22. a household run by cats

May 2017

Jane and Barton are two upper income professionals with thriving careers. To the outside world, their lives are the picture of the American dream. Behind closed doors, however, their lives are run by three cats who dictate their every move: midnight runs to Whole Foods for a favored flavor of cat food and the humans sleeping on the edge of the bed while the cats occupy the middle of a Hollywood king.

The couples' careers are no respite, as their every move is dictated by the cats via cell phone apps connected to in-home cameras.

Neighbors becomes curious when the lawn is replaced with a landscape of catmint and cat nip, which is kept suspiciously trim.

The series moves to its peak when Barton is promoted to a new position in another city and the couple finds their house, which is now encased in an outdoor catio, is unable to be sold.
