Yaho, minna-san. (C/V For those who are not affiliated with the anime community as much, (though I highly doubt it) it means “hey, everyone.” super casually.) (translations may not be exact cuz' I mean....I'm not Japanese)
Hm? Who am I?
I’m Yulia, a girl that loves cats and is beloved by them. Ah, and I also want to become a cat. Are you shocked? Fufufu.
Well, that’s the normal reaction I guess…... Mama and papa were pretty freaked out about it at first too. When I was five, they thought I had something wrong with my brain y’know? Isn’t that rude of them? But they were really worried about me, so they went over to the church to have the healer-sans give me a check-up. And of course, I had nothing wrong with me......besides an abnormal level of obsessing over cats..... They hoped that I wouldn't be as infatuated by cats when I got older, but nope! I am forever a lover of cats desu!!
I'm twelve now, and I still love cats dearly as they do love me.
Ah, chotto matte. (C/V translator is here again! It means “wait a second”. Translator-chan, out!")
“Ahhhhh, kawaiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~” I squeal quietly while petting the cat. The fur is soooooo soft even though it was a stray. She was white-furred which reminded me of the fur on the royals’ coats. And since she always looked condescendingly at everyone besides me, I called her “her highness Nyaia-chan.” She started coming to where I fed the strays a few days ago. (C/V Everyone should know this one right.....)
“Ara, Glutton, Maou, and Spots-kun are here too?” I smiled, seeing them softly pad over to where her highness Nyaia and I was. “Here, I have some food for you guys too.”
Glutton is a gray cat with white streaks that loves to eat and Maou is a black cat with narrow eyes that look like he’s glaring at you. Spots-kun is an orangey-red cat with tan spots, hence the name. I’m kinda terrible with coming up with names, so I was worried they wouldn’t like it, but they were really nice and purred at me. The trio is usually seen together for some reason, and I’ve been feeding them for a long time.

Eh? When did I start liking cats?
Ah…..that was when I was three months old.
It was my first time meeting a cat. I was in my mama’s arms while she was talking to our neighbours. About what they were chatting about I can’t remember. But the kitty I remember suuuuper clearly. It was a tiny cat with short white fur with blue eyes and it meowed at me. It looked like it wanted to be friends so I started babbling like the baby I was and reached for it. My mama noticed and probably thought I was just getting restless so she put me on the ground, keeping one eye on me.
I somehow half-dragged half-crawled myself over to where the cat was and started petting it. The smol cat seemed to laugh happily and it purred loudly when I was stroking its fur. My mom noticed the purring sound from the cat and came over and picked me up again, worried that the cat would hurt me. I started getting teary-eyed and ended up crying while reaching for the cat.
When I started crying, the cat started meowing sadly as well. It sounded like someone was about to kill its kin or something. My mama looked like she didn’t know what to do, so she cautiously picked up the cat by the scruff of its neck and held it close to me. She was ready to jerk the cat away if it looked like it was going to hurt me.
But for some reason, once the cat was near me, I stopped crying and started laughing and petting it again. The cat also stopped meowing pitifully the moment I stopped crying and purred very loudly.
Hai, end of my past~! Ever since then, I’ve seemed to have an affinity with cats and such.
Why do I remember something from when I was still a baby so well you ask? Ehe, I don’t know either…. Somehow, anything that has to do with cats, I end up having a really clear memory of it….. (C/V …….are you sure you weren’t born in the wrong body?....)
