Nice plot twist.
It would be nice to see this cat appear earlier in the story though, such as showing the cat and it's master at home, and you can show us more of the main character's lifestyle with her abusive uncle as she seeks refuge in the stray cat. You can have us sympathize more with the character as well as show us this seemingly "ordinary" cat before he does something so bizarre.
Just a thought.

You are assuming a lot about the story. Spending too much time in the "normal" world prevents the story from moving forward. The thought to do such was there, but it was weaker than the alternative, which is to say, these characters are introspective. I use memory and flash back to tell a lot. being bogged down in what is called the "now" moment can be boring. Beyond boring, we are just getting to know Roah. We aren't ready at this point for her traumatic experiences. getting to know a character is very much like getting to know a friend. just meeting a person, you don't want all the gritty details. you grow into those and they are relayed to you in time.
This is a long story. The 35-ish pages that exist are really only the very beginning. The important things to understand here is that, A: I have a ton of mystery. I've given you a morsel, and it was my choice to do so because only I, as the author know how much (or in this case, how very little) I really gave you. secondly, It is important to be patient with a story of this nature in the correct ways while moving the story forward. There will be a time to illustrate memories of Roah and her experiences, there will also be a time to address Mr. Whisker-san and his whole point in the plot aswell as his relationship to Roah.
This is a first chapter, and as most first chapters do, we have merely introduced things a tiny bit, that is it.
So I feel that this was crossing a bit of a line here because you have assumed a lot based on where you think the story might go, but I guarantee you, you really haven't the fogiest. I've been at the concepts and characters that come to play in this tale for 12 years. It's now being put into graphic novel formant, but trust me, I am well aware of what I want to show and when and where.

OH. SNAP.
I did NOT see that coming. Heh, I wonder how the cat feels at being called, "Mr. Whiskers-san." XD
And I'm really glad you're pumping out these comics at such a steady rate.
