Cat for Cash - Season 1

Debt collector Tiger is sent to a cat café to recover unpaid dues, where he unexpectedly forms a subtle bond with the gentle owner, Je Meow. As Je Meow struggles to keep the café afloat and hopes to reconcile with her estranged son, Lynx, she suddenly falls ill.

As the café reopens, Lynx steps in as the new manager—only to discover that running the place is far harder than expected, throwing the cats into total chaos. Just in time, Tiger, who can understand cat language, quietly comes to the rescue, guiding Lynx behind the scenes. As they work together, their relationship begins to subtly change.

After a series of cat protests and a missing-cat incident, Lynx agrees to let Tiger help run the café. Just then, John Wick the cat suddenly falls ill and is taken to see Dr. Pom. Seeing the close interaction between Lynx and Dr. Pom, Tiger can't help but feel a sense of loss.

Under Lynx and Tiger's management, the café regains its lively atmosphere, with Jenny the cat reigning as the ultimate PR queen. One day, Dr. Pom arrives with his cat, Gong Yoo. Tiger, filled with jealousy, can't help but compete with him—while Jenny seems utterly fascinated by Gong Yoo instead.

When his half-brother Leo suddenly appears, the subtle, flirtatious routine between Lynx and Tiger turns into an awkward three-person cohabitation. Acting as the mediator between the brothers, Tiger tries to ease the tension only to be caught off guard when Leo openly confesses his feelings for him. Meanwhile, the emotional knots Lynx has long suppressed finally erupt.

Lynx and Leo argue over who should go to Korat to pay respects to their mother, Je Meow. Neither is willing to back down. In the end, Lynx travels with Tiger, while Leo stays behind to look after the café. During the trip, Lynx and Tiger also begin completing their mother's unfinished journey to find the nine cats.

After completing the cat-finding mission, Lynx and Tiger return to the café only to discover it has been vandalized. The trouble stems from people Leo had offended in the past. As tensions rise, the two brothers end up in a fierce argument over the long-hidden secret about their father.

Lynx and Tiger's secret relationship is accidentally exposed by Leo, who surprisingly gives them his full support. To help revive the café's business, the three of them start producing short videos for promotion. Unexpectedly, the hashtag #TigerLynx goes viral online.

With #TigerLynx going viral, the café sees a surge in popularity. As attention grows, so does the pressure on Tiger and Lynx. At the same time, they must face a new challenge; meeting Tiger's parents.

The truth behind the cat café's inheritance is finally revealed. Can Lynx truly make peace with his mother? Meanwhile, his relationship with Tiger enters a new stage.
