The chapter opens with a description of a vampire-like creature known as the corpse beetle. It's a kitten that needs to be taken to the hospital for treatment. The kitten's aunt is a vampire, so she's going to pretend to be a bat to get the kitten to come to her. The vet tells the kitten that it needs a big room with a king bed and boxes of cat food. He also tells her that the kitten needs fresh blood. He tells her to call Mr.zombie and see if he can take care of the kitten.
