Human, Why Haven't You Married the Cat Yet?

Cat's perspective:

A sudden downpour causes a cat who has only recently come of age to get separated from her mom, dad, sisters, and brothers. She becomes a little kitten, filthy with mud and soaked to the skin.

New to human society, the cat remembers her parents' warnings and trembles with fear,

until a pair of dry, warm hands gently lifts her up.

Humans make delicious-smelling food, grow delicious-smelling flowers, and take care of dirty cats until they smell delicious too.

When faced with a strange thing that whirs and blows hot air, the cat's heart pounds wildly. In that moment, she senses the love her parents told her about!

The cat has observed that the human is always by herself. She seems to have been left alone, just like the cat, so the kind and noble cat decides to keep her company and deigns to stay with her forever and ever.

The cat remembers her mother saying that to be together with another cat forever, they must go to the sacred land of the Cat Clan and pray to the great Meow Meow God.

With Meow Meow God's blessing, they can become cat-cat-cat-cat and stay together forever and ever!

But the cat is a little troubled.

Her mother never said whether humans are allowed.

Besides, the cat gives the human snuggles every day, so why doesn't the human take the initiative and marry her? Doesn't she know the cat is shy and easily embarrassed? (Kitten bangs table!)

Human's perspective:

Shen Zhiyi recently found a chubby little ragdoll kitten. The kitten is beautiful and dignified, and it takes a lot of coaxing before she deigns to let Shen Zhiyi pet her.

The flower shop is quiet, but life with a cat for company is still happy.

Later, the kitten jumps onto the kitchen counter and gets covered in sauce. Shen Zhiyi helplessly looks at the sauce-scented kitten and carries her off for a bath.

But after that bath, Shen Zhiyi notices the cat has become clingy!

Kisses and cuddles become the norm. The cat who used to be dignified and disdainful of humans even starts climbing into Shen Zhiyi's arms to sleep at night!

With the kitten taking the initiative, how could Shen Zhiyi possibly resist?

An utterly shameless human, of course, repays the clingy kitten with even more enthusiastic kisses, hugs, and belly rubs!

Until one day, in a dream,

Shen Zhiyi sees a girl who looks like a doll. She stands with her hands on her hips, glaring at Shen Zhiyi angrily, as if she's looking at a heartless lover.

Shen Zhiyi is a shallow person and falls for the girl's looks at first sight.

But when she asks the girl her name, the girl's round catlike eyes fill with tears.

The cat, who worked so hard to send a dream, is hurt and furious. She stomps her foot and complains, "Human! You're a heartless human! You took advantage of the cat, so why won't you marry her?"

A little bird's reading notes:

This is a super lighthearted slice-of-life story!
