RARA-AVIS: Cat Noir

Jim Winter says and asks:

<<You have a cat story. The metaphor for the cat's life is his litter box. Every event in the story

confirms that metaphor, either by the cat's skewed perspective or by forces acting against him. He dies in the pound at the end. Is this cat noir?>>

It's not noir unless the cat takes some action to change his life and just keeps getting screwed up at every turn.
