Ifeel like I must have been a lonely cat during my time in the human world. Even though I dont have much memory of it, there are times when fragments of those sort of emotions come to mind. Thats why Im really glad youre so kind to me, Kiri, and Im able to spend time having fun with Natsuki and Akio.

He was apart of this group that consisted of cat-eared children and a young man that wasnt their father. He felt lost at first, but he immediately grew accustomed to them, and melded in with them like family. It was a warmth that would have been difficult to achieveor perhaps he had lost, when he was a cat.

Ive spoken to you about it before, Kiribut I have a memory of a boy I played with, that I now look like. I must have loved that boythe time I spent with him made me happy. But, I have these extremely sad and lonely feelings as well. I dont know what those may be, but I definitely feel as though I was no longer by that boys side, and before I came to the Country of Cats, I was all alone.

You dont think that boy who may have been your owner will be by your side in the human world anymore?

He didnt know. He had no certainty. Justeven though he felt as though he had to regain his true form, he never had the desire to return. Didnt that mean he had no place to call home?

I cant say anything for certain, butfor now, I think Id like to go the human world to find out. You told me I needed to remember my true self so I wouldnt go back to being a normal cat. Natsuki and Akio have been teaching me, and Ive been practicing to turn into a cat somehow, but I havent made any progress. Of course, nor can I turn into a human form without cat ears or tail either.
