Katie the Catsitter Chapters 1-3 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 1 Summary

Katie is forced to break into her own apartment after realizing she has forgotten her keys. In adjacent panels, an unnamed figure in a costume with a long tail can be seen breaking into a different window. Once inside, Katie reads a note from her mom saying that she is at work and didn’t have time to get groceries; Katie should take money from the “Fun Fund” if she is hungry. Katie goes downstairs to Mr. B’s bodega with a measly amount of pocket change and has Mr. B make her a PB&J sandwich. While she eats, a news report about a fire at the New You Cosmetics factory plays in the background. Police Chief Pardo is interviewed about the fire, and a superhero named the Eastern Screech interrupts and claims the fire was likely because someone thought the building was “ugly.” The reporter disagrees with him. Hundreds of bunny rabbits can be seen on the ground around her and the police chief.

Later that night, Katie calls her best friend, Bethany, and tells her about the news report. She suggests that the bunnies must have been used by the cosmetics factory in some sort of animal testing.
