You didn't think I'd kill the cat, did you?
If you want to know how it managed to escape certain death, I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait and see.
Unless you've bought the actual comic. In which case, thank you. Although, fair warning, there's only a hint of how he might have escaped Certain Death - everything will be made perfectly clear once I've completed the entire story (four issues, in case you're wondering).
