In a dystopian future where humans have gone extinct and now serve as the ruling Patron caste, Cats have established themselves as the second caste called Pets — with everyone else forced into servitude as Underlings. A young Patron arrives at the Capital High School, the one place where social caste does not determine access to education. A short installment of a larger story about intelligent animals, class, and a society built on the bones of the old world.
