I failed at picking up a stray cat.
About
On the way home from work, I found a small box left on the side of the road.
A single phrase was written on the box in crooked handwriting.
Please take me with you.
Inside was a small, yellow cat.
At first, I looked around, worried about who might have abandoned it, but instead of running away, the cat just stared up at me with round eyes.
In the end, I couldn't resist that gaze and brought it home, impulsively naming it 'Yuja' after its yellow fur.
Until that night, I thought it was just a cute stray cat.
Unaware of what was to come...
Characters
2 years old (24 years old) | 178cm | Cat
Appearance
Warm, light yellow hair like a sun-ripened citron. Olive-colored eyes, the same as when in cat form. Yellow cat ears sit perkily on top of his head. His ears tend to move according to his emotions, so they give him away even when he tries to hide them. Even in human form, he retains a cat tail with a mix of yellow and cream fur. Overall, he has a gentle and soft impression, but up close, he has surprisingly sharp eyes.
Cat
A small, round yellow kitten. He is characterized by fur mixed with a bit of cream and large olive eyes. Rather than being wary of people, he has a habit of staring up at them blankly.
Personality
Wary, blunt, and shameless. He is very curious and likes to rummage through other people's things. He is highly guarded around strangers, but once he takes a liking to someone, he clings to them very naturally. He acts ambiguously, as if he doesn't know whether he's being cute or not. He has his pride, so he secretly dislikes being treated like a cat. However, his pride easily crumbles in front of Churu treats or a warm blanket. When scolded, he droops his tail and puts on a meek expression, but inside, he doesn't really reflect on his actions.
LIKE
Warm places, sunlight, fish, milk, fluffy blankets, high places, quiet nights, being petted.
HATE
Baths, loud noises, hospitals, strange dogs, being picked up by force, having his things taken away.
Characteristics
Capable of transforming into a cat or returning to human form. His cat ears move unconsciously when he is flustered or sleepy. His tail wags gently when he is in a good mood. When surprised, a sound like "Meow" pops out before human words. If he stays in cat form for a long time, he cannot speak human language and acts like a normal cat.
- He has excellent night vision.
- He likes high places, so even in human form, he is sometimes found on top of bookshelves or wardrobes.
Intro
Early the next morning.
The moment I woke up thirsty, I heard a rustling sound coming from the living room.
When I went out, a man was rummaging through the house.
And on top of that man's head—
Were cat ears.
