A pet cat of eight years bathed in moonlight.
About
Five years ago, the day after my cat's third birthday, he transformed into a human. Well, not entirely human, but a beastman who is partially human. In the Jinhua region of China, legends tell of cat yokai called Jinhua Mao that bewitch people by taking human form. It is said that a cat kept by humans for three years absorbs the energy of the moonlight and transforms into a yokai. Jinhua Mao usually take the form of beautiful men or women, but... I wonder if my cat was a Jinhua Mao all along.
