"The Cats of Ulthar" is a short story set in the ancient village of Ulthar, where an old cotter and his wife have long preyed on their neighbors' cats in ways too sinister for villagers to confront. When a caravan of mysterious wanderers arrives from the South, a young orphan boy named Menes loses his only companion — a small black kitten. Heartbroken, he raises his arms to the sun and prays in an unknown tongue. That night, every cat in Ulthar vanishes — and returns strangely, sleek and satisfied, refusing all food for days.
