This song is a breakup song based on a non-fiction episode from the artist's high school days, and the story unfolds alongside animation.
Story Summary:
Separation: As high school graduation approaches, the protagonist, who aspires to be a musician, and his girlfriend, who is about to enter the workforce, break up due to differing career paths and anxieties about a long-distance relationship (the necklace he gave her for her birthday appears as a symbol in the story).
Hope for Reunion: Several years later, the protagonist learns that she is working in a city office district and goes out into the city to look for her.
Conclusion: He spots a figure that looks like her from behind (0:35), but immediately afterward, he witnesses her walking happily with another man, depicting the protagonist's lingering feelings and the sadness of his heartbreak in a poignant story.
The song title, "Stray Cat," likens the protagonist, who was dumped by his lover, to a stray cat.
