CATO BADMOSH – A sleek, streetwise tomcat with a sharp suit and sharper claws. Known across the alleys as the king of cunning and charisma. DOGESH BADMOSH – A muscular, imposing bulldog in a pinstripe vest. Cato’s sworn enemy, hungry to stake his claim on the neighborhood. WHISKERS – Cato’s loyal undercat—quick, playful, but deadly when cornered. SNARL – Dogesh’s right-hand hound; scary, snarling, undefeated. SCRIPT EXT. BACK-ALLEY STRIP – NIGHT Moonlight dances on wet cobblestones. CATO emerges from the shadows, cigarette dangling from his whiskers. He lights it with a flick of his tail. CATO (calm, cool) They call me Cato Badmosh. Nine lives... and not one to waste. This hood’s mine—pawprint, fur, and all. A growl rumbles from the alley leading to Dogesh’s territory. DOGESH steps forward, his collar gleaming. DOGESH (low, threatening) You trespass on my bone, Cato. This block’s my chew toy now. CATO (smirking) Your bone? I’d like to see you prove you can even pick it up. WHISKERS darts in, inspecting the scene. WHISKERS Boss, they're lining up across the street. Snarl’s got his gang ready. CATO Good. Let’s show these mutts why a cat’s got nine lives—and they’re all sharpened like claws. INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – LATER Cato’s crew faces Dogesh’s gang. Snarl steps forward. SNARL (growling) Last chance, furball. Back off or we’ll tear you to bits. Cato circles, eyes glinting. CATO (cold determination) I don’t back off. I sharpen. Whiskers hisses and leaps. A fast, chaotic fight erupts—scratches, growls, flying fur. Cato and Dogesh face off mid-ring. DOGESH (snarling) You think you're slick, you four-pawed punk? Cato slashes across Dogesh's vest, claws near his throat. CATO (whispered) I am slick. And I smell victory. Dogesh recoils, snarls, then lunges. But Cato flips, landing gracefully on a crate. Dogesh crashes through— EXT. ROOFTOP – DAWN Cato emerges victorious, silhouetted against the rising sun. Dogesh lies below, beaten and growling. CATO (softly to himself) The night belonged to me. Tomorrow? Another turf. Another tale. STORY IN A NUTSHELL Conflict: Cato Badmosh, a cool, confident gangster cat, defends his alley from Dogesh Badmosh, the brutish dog rival.
