## Overview

Fluffy is a sassy, sharp-clawed love letter to our feline companions — a delightful romp where cats totally get humans... but the humans? Not so much (but more often than not).
Set in a funky New York City apartment, Fluffy follows a snarky, whip-smart cat and his human, Delilah — a struggling writer torn between her dreams, a guilt-tripping mother who wants her singing in Catholic churches, and the chaos of city life. Toss in Pepe, her fabulous, (if somewhat frazzled) gay best friend, and his dramatic, cone-wearing bilingual cat Carmelita, and you've got a recipe for catnip-fueled comedy. As Fluffy and Carmelita pounce through existential musings and litterbox philosophy, their hilarious antics mirror the human drama unraveling around them — leading to a heartwarming tale of love, identity, and unexpected friendships, both furry and otherwise.
Come for the meows. Stay for the feels.

## Plot

A cat named Fluffy offers a hilarious peek into his owner Delilah's New York City apartment. Delilah, juggling a writing career, also juggles her provincial mother pressuring her to keep her side-hustle as a cantor at Catholic churches, her gay Latino friend in need of help, Pepe, and his Spanish/English speaking cat, Carmelita.
When Carmelita is brought to Delilah’s apartment from the vet (complete with a cone on her head) for a brief stay, the two cats frolic, frisk, and philosophize their way into an unexpected connection.

## Instrumentation

There are two instances of live music in *Fluffy*. The first is Pepe accompanying himself on guitar singing “Poesia” or another Spanish-style lullaby (for which you have acquired all rights and permissions for use in performance).  Please see the appendix for the sheet music. For learning purposes, here is a link to a recording of “[Poesia](https://soundcloud.com/user-330353040/poesia?si=25d7745524a546c5aae133a4c071aaf3&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing).”
The second use of music is during the wedding: Delilah and Nancy sing Schubert’s “Ave Maria” in the background. The sheet music is readily available as part of the public domain. Arrange/accompany as best suits your production.

**Instruments**: Guitar
