An anime about a man and his cat living together.

Mystery writer Mikazuki Subaru, who isn't good at dealing with people, finds them to be a disturbance when it comes to building his imaginary world. One day, he chances upon a stray cat and feels inspiration strike, so he brings the cat home as his muse. Can watching the inexplicable behaviors of a cat form material for a novel?


Mikazuki Subaru

I like the cat and I like the pitch of the drama, like it has weight but doesn't take things over. Good anime!!!

I can't get enough of the wiggly tail bit in the OP. The cutest part of an incredibly cute show.

if I wasn't lazy and inept (and already have a cat av) I'd figure out how to chain these two together as an av but it would probably be too big

anime is not good
the cat typing reminds me of the figures from the sherlock holmes's short "the adventure of the dancing men"

overall very cute, but the narrative feels a bit disjointed. cuteness more than makes up for it though

Now that you mention it, it’s probably intentional because of the whole Sherlock outfit that the cat wears in the OP + first episode. Nice catch though!

And episode 2 starts off with the most common cat experience ever. Laptop cat.

e: A good episode about a good person and his good cat. :3:

It seems like such a pedestrian topic for a show but its stuffed full of charm and good feelings and its hard to not just grin like an idiot watching this. :3:

I think that is a big part of the draw for me.

Really loved how his supervisor reacted to him having a cat.

As a single person bad at being social, this really hits home for me. I've considered getting a cat to fill that void just like he discovered in this episode.

Adopt an older rescue cat if you decide to do it. I used to foster strays and rescues for a shelter and it ended up being one of the biggest things to help get me out of my shell.

Probably another reason Im latching on to this show so hard. :v:

Yeah I've been getting bits of advice from work friends about it but I have next to zero experience with pets so I'm really iffy about getting one. Like the closest it gets is petting my sister's friends rabbits a couple times.

Also one of them have a cat that had to get a foot amputated and it cost him 2k out of pocket so I'm kind of scared of the cost of a pet, especially since rent in my area is loving bonkers and is likely to get even worse soon.

yeah don't neglect the cost of vet care, you never know what might come up

one of my cats broke his own leg when he was a kitten and I'd only had him a few weeks, by running through the house like a wild thing and slamming into a stepladder I keep behind a door and knocking it over onto himself. another one (similarly, as an older kitten/not quite 1-year-old cat) pulled a heavy flower pot over and semi-amputated the tip of her tail and I had to take her in on an emergency visit the day after christmas to get the job finished.

part of your job as pet owner is to keep them from murdering themselves out of stupidity

I've never seen a show generate so much dramatic tension over whether a man will ever pet a cat or not. It's great.

Haru has the power of the satsui no hado.

Edit: He'd better stop being mean to the cat in short order or I'm going to get mad.

God drat, end of episode 1 and it's already time for the waterworks.
