After Bathing Cats on Doomsday, the Whole City of Fuzzballs Calls Me Mom

After the Black Rain descended, animals mutated en masse and grew human forms. The survivors called them “the New Humanity.”

Wen Qichi used to be a groomer at a pet shop that went out of business. On the first day of the apocalypse, she was bathing a stray cat covered in blood and mud in the basement.

Halfway through its bath, the cat turned into a silver-haired boy.

Wrapped in a bath towel, his ears fluffed up as he stared at the hair dryer in her hand. After a long silence, he whispered, “Mom.”

Before Wen Qichi could explain, every contaminated beast in the city caught the scent of the shampoo at her place.

A pack of irritable wolves blocked the building downstairs, waiting for a scrub. A mutated parrot hovered outside the window, pestering her to trim its claws. Even the rat king in the sewers showed up with a bath sponge to book an appointment.

Later, a human base tried to capture the New Humanity for research, while a rampaging beast tide threatened to devour the entire city.

Wen Qichi stood amid the ruins, holding a washbasin and looking at the furry new members behind her.

“Stop fighting. Whoever’s covered in blood gets a bath first.”

Every monster in the city instantly lined up.
