What is The Cat and the Dragon?
The Cat and the Dragon is a twelve-episode fantasy adventure that completed its run in summer 2026. Formatted as an ONA, the series follows an unusual household: a fire-breathing dragon raised by a mother cat in a forest, affectionately called Uncle Wing by those close to him. The dragon's journey forms the emotional core of the story as he gradually overcomes his deep distrust of humans through his interactions with a cast of curious cats, each living distinct lives across different settings.
The narrative weaves together multiple feline perspectives as it explores themes of connection and acceptance. One cat embarks on an adventure alongside a human prince, while another inhabits the city observing people from afar, each story contributing to Uncle Wing's slow transformation. Rather than centering solely on the dragon, the series uses his presence as a through-line connecting these separate cat-focused adventures.
Viewing options differed based on platform availability: episodes were available one week early on ABEMA and dAnimeStore before the traditional TV broadcast began on July 4, 2026. With all twelve episodes now released, the complete series is available for anyone looking to watch the full arc of the dragon's changing perspective on humanity.
The story follows a fire-breathing, human-hating dragon raised by a mother cat in a forest. The dragon, known affectionately as "Uncle Wing," watches over the many curious cats — such as one that goes on an adventure with a human prince, and another that lives in the city and people-watches as a hobby — and gradually warms up to humans along the way.
