After Yu Yu transmigrates into a red-tailed fish, the first crisis he faces is this:
A cat has its claws hooked in his tail! Aaaaaah!!!
I’m just a little fish! I haven’t even grown up yet, and I’m going to get eaten o(╥﹏╥)o
Suddenly, the kitten retracts its sharp claws and tilts its head. “Eat you?”
Yu Yu: “!”
Wait, maybe there’s still hope for me!
With a human mind, dealing with a little cat should be easy. He just has to persuade it to let him go!
Yu Yu: “Kitty, do you have any friends? If you let me go, I’ll be your friend~”
The kitten seems uncertain. It licks its paw and says, earnest and slow, “But you’re my dinner. If I let you go, I’ll be hungry.”
Yu Yu becomes even gentler. “If you let me go, you’ll lose one dinner, but you’ll gain a lifelong friend! Don’t you want a friend?”
The kitten stops licking its paw and thinks. “That does sound right.”
Yu Yu snickers to himself. As expected, it’s a silly little cat, so easy to fool, hehe. But before he can smile, the next thing happens.
The kitten lowers its body, and its fluffy face looms huge and terrifying in Yu Yu’s field of vision. He can even see the barbs on its tongue!
The kitten is no longer the honest, gullible creature it seemed a moment ago. Its voice turns wicked. “Then we’re friends now. Friend, go lure a fresh fish over here for me to eat. Not one with markings like yours. Those don’t taste good.”
Yu Yu is horrified and nearly cries. (His species’ innate sense of being prey overwhelms him.) “?!” ━Σ(?Д?|||)━
It was pretending to be harmless while hiding its true nature! It played dumb to trick a fish! Aaaaaah! Sob, sob.

Later, Yu Yu learns that he has actually transmigrated into a cultivation novel, and the kitten is the future big villain. So instead of worrying about getting eaten, Yu Yu starts worrying that the kitten will turn evil, kill him, and eat him afterward. He spends every day doing his best to soothe the kitten.
The kitten narrows its eyes and silently licks its paw, vaguely sensing something. It doesn’t know why, but...
Cat: “I’m going to bite your tail.”
Fish: “What? No!”
Cat: “Oh. Then I’ll turn evil.”
Fish: “...Go ahead and bite.”
“I want you to sleep with me.”
“No...”
“I’ll turn evil.”
“I’ll sleep with you!”
Spring turns to autumn, the kitten grows into a big cat, and Yu Yu cultivates a human form. The only thing that doesn’t change is how well the kitten’s “turn evil” threat works. Until one day, the big cat pounces on Yu Yu and pins him to the ground, swishing its tail. “I want to cultivate dual cultivation with you. Otherwise, I’ll turn evil.”
Yu Yu struggles fiercely. “No! Sob, sob, sob, I really can’t!”
They’re not even the same species!
He really can’t!
The big cat gives a quiet hum. “All right, I’ll take human form first. Then we’ll cultivate together.”
Behind him, Yu Yu tiptoes away, trying to sneak off. Are you kidding? Getting frisky with a cat? The site moderators will lock the story for sure!
The big cat’s golden eyes narrow as he watches Yu Yu’s wiggling butt. Hmm. Then he’ll add confinement to the plan.
Three hundred and sixty-five days of a runaway sweetheart being kept under lock and key. Sounds pretty good.
A clever little sweetie who thinks he’s smart but gets thoroughly eaten up anyway, the naive, sweet shou X a poker-faced, falsely proper, ridiculously sultry, scheming big-cat gong
I can’t think of any warnings for now, so I’ll leave it at that OVO
