Did You Remember the Cat? (18:08)
IMDb; YouTube

This 2024 short film was presented by Alter in 2025.

A couple named Tara and Mitch barely escape from a monster that has killed some of their friends during a house party. However, Tara then realizes they forgot to save their cat, Mr. Whiskers. So they go back for him, and must face the monster again. Meanwhile, the two of them talk about how their relationship has been suffering lately, and the monster plays on their fears regarding that.

It's a horror comedy, and I think it's fairly effective in both regards. Not something I expect to find super memorable, but I enjoyed it. And I liked the animated end credits quite a bit.
