Meow Plot Summary

What happens in Meow from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In a far corner of the universe, a planet called Meow houses a community of cats so cultured that they seem almost human. Thousands of years ago, the Meow king sent emissaries to Earth to gauge an invasion, but every mission vanished into the unknown, and the king gradually shelved his plans. Now, craving momentum and daring, the king chooses his boldest warrior to spearhead the mission: Pudding. Yet the journey takes an unexpected turn when a precious divine Meow device—whose purpose is to shield a conqueror from Earth’s particles—slips from Pudding’s grasp, robbing him of his formidable powers. The once-nimble fighter is transformed into a giant, out-of-shape cat named Sai-sai-lei, a turn of fate that frames the rest of the tale.
