tht's the cat on the left. bakenekos are cats that dress like humans and like to do human things like play instruments. They are cute but extremely loyal to the humans that love them. So if you kill their human, they will get revenge

There were quite a few of them. I wondered which was yours - since I was sure you did one of them. This one I did not see, however.

I didn't do that well. I think that's too bad because I thought mine was cute.
