 Nekojiru Gekijou (ねこぢる劇場 or Nekojiru Gekijou) is a 1999 Black Comedy anime series that ran for 27 episodes, each lasting 2 minutes in length. Based on a manga by the late Chiyomi "Nekojiru" Hashiguchi, the story follows siblings Nyatta and Nyaako, two adorable yet awful kittens, as they go to school, meet new people, and have other adventures. The kittens are racist, violent, and generally unpleasant, often enabled by their alcoholic father and depressed mother. The main draw of the series is the cute, seemingly family-friendly art style and very unwholesome storylines.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The short film Cat Soup, released two years later, is about the same characters, but is more serious and surreal.

 Carnivore Confusion

 Carnivore Confusion: Pigs are sentient, wearing clothes and attending school just like the humans and cats also do. However, pigs are still slaughtered, with pork being served at the school cafeteria (where a piglet unknowingly eats some). In one episode, the kittens' father slaughters a piglet that the kittens were playing with earlier, and the family eats him. The kittens even feed some of it to the piglet's sister! The kittens also murder a mole woman and eat her in another episode. As her son and husband look on in horror, the husband says that they cannot intervene, because the cats are carnivores and this is in their nature.

 Comedic Sociopathy: The kittens commit murder more than once, almost always unprovoked. In the second episode, for instance, they bloody an old man's face and bash his head into a wall because he told them that violence is bad. They also like watching when others commit violence. When a little is boy is slaughtered in front of them, Nyako exclaims, "That was awesome!"

 Alcoholic Parent: The kittens' father is a Black Comedy example. He is a fat, lazy slob with poor hygiene, nearly knocking others out with his disgusting breath, and mostly spends his time laying around catatonic. He rarely reacts when the kittens climb on him during play, and his wife is annoyed by his lack of interest in parenting.
