Nyaight of the Living Cat episode 2 began with a scene from October 5, 20XX. Days before the Nyandemic, a remote cat food factory from a large conglomerate suffered a major explosion. Though the locals were evacuated, there was minimal coverage of the news. Interestingly, a journalist posted a video of the incident, revealing that the explosion had something to do with cats.

However, the video was taken down within minutes, and the journalist was not to be seen anymore. Afterward, the narrative for the Nyaight of the Living Cat episode 2 switched to Gaku, urging Kaoru, Kunagi, and Tanishi to run away. Unfortunately, Gaku was affected by the N.N. Virus. Thus, it was futile for him to accompany them.

Kaoru broke down in tears as she looked at her brother one last time. Meanwhile, Gaku joined the cats from his cafe, though his transformation isn't shown. Elsewhere, the police urged the public to follow the evacuation guidelines. Understandably, the people couldn't comprehend the danger they were in.

One of the police personnel informed their subordinate about a clowder of cats approaching the scene. Backups arrived in no time, fully equipped with defensive gear. They also laid down traps and water bottles for the approaching cats. Yet, none of their tricks worked against the clowder of cats that overwhelmed the police force.

Kunagi advised Kaoru to get to the supermarket with Tanishi, while he would buy them time. Nyaight of the Living Cat episode 2 saw Kunagi use a dangling toy to redirect the cats toward him.

When he did that, Kaoru and Tanishi sneaked to the supermarket. Interestingly, Kaoru met her friend, Tsutsumi, who worked at the supermarket as a part-timer. At first, other workers weren't letting them in, but Tsutsumi identified Kaoru.

Elsewhere, in the Nyaight of the Living Cat episode 2, Kunagi used the dangling tool and demonstrated his impressive reflexes to outrun the cats.

Kunagi instructed everyone to seal all the openings for a possible cat entry. Meanwhile, Kaoru was glad to see Tsutsumi safe. Yet, suddenly, she remembered her brother, Gaku's fate, and broke down in tears. Tsutsumi tried to calm down Kaoru, who was visibly scared. At that moment, the episode delved into a flashback and showed Kaoru and Tsutsumi's bond.

Unfortunately, Kunagi didn't remember anything about his past. He questioned his own existence, as he didn't know whether or not he was already a cat.
