Synopsis
A stray cat mysteriously becomes half-human and befriends a pet store employee while hiding his feline nature and seeking romantic affection.
Kotetsu was much like any other stray cat, wandering around neighborhoods, crawling into dumpsters, and getting into all sorts of antics. However, when he mysteriously becomes half-human, everything changes. He soon makes friends with Yori Okazaki, an affable pet store employee. Kotetsu hopes their relationship can become something more, though, and wants to be pet by Okazaki's hands. With only a working knowledge of human behavior, he spends time with Okazaki, all while hoping that his feline features will not give him away.
