A slightly androgynous young man, down on his luck after being fired from the orchestra, receives some singing cats from a wizard and teaches them to perform a concert. That's the PLOT, but the actual purpose of this story is to give a short and sweet slice of life in the chilly winter of a small city. Nobody's that well off, the weather isn't great, and the protagonist never really improves his situation from being poor and jobless. Generally, though, the mood is happy, and the story focuses on the quiet, pretty moments that punctuate the hardships of a young adult life. It's a bit too shortto make an impact that will last a lifetime for me, but it's real pretty and real cute.
