TLDR; ahhhHHHHHhrhHHHHRHHHR

It would take a miracle to convince Ren that Ichimatsu wasn’t a cat at this point. There’s no doubt in her little dingus mind that he’s a part of some huge cat family and I honestly feel bad for his brothers, whenever they decide to show up. They are cats-that’s all there is to it. She knew it from the second they met, when he bristled at her approach and hissed at her.

Which is, ironically, one of the more comforting things he could’ve done. In a place that was entirely unfamiliar and terrifying, surrounded by people she feared, he was a breath of fresh air. Cats are safe, even the prickly ones, and it was the first time she didn’t feel on edge. His presence, to this very day, is something she cherishes. Because whenever things get out of control, she knows there’s a cat nearby to save her-to make everything simple and easy to understand again. There are some human aspects to him she doesn't understand, but at the end of the day all she has to do is pet his head and she can feel #accomplished.

She grew up in isolation and when she first experienced freedom after everyone died, it’s the cats that helped her. They would amass in safe spots, free from spooks. They would play together. She could sing and talk to them and even if they couldn’t answer back, they seemed to innately understand her feelings. It wasn’t the same as having another person by her side, but she had never known that kind of comfort, so it didn’t matter. For that reason, Ichimatsu is incredibly important to her. She adores and loves him because he readily looks out for her and she has an outstanding trust in him, specifically. He's special and the only person on the island she isn't terrified of losing because a cat would never leave her. They would never push her away, or see her as useless, or treat her like a tool-he’s going to be there no matter what, even if she gets sick, and it’s why he’s one of the few people she believes when he comments on her pretty heart.

He gave ESP to her because he innately knew she felt lonely at times and while she treasures that cat more than anything, Ichimatsu ranks higher. She actively wants to protect him. That’s all there is to it. He’s a smart boy that rarely requires her assistance, but there are aspects of his kittyhood she feels like are lost in the human shuffle. He nearly starved after giving all his food away to the stray cats, couldn’t figure out how to hunt in the city, sometimes doesn’t clean himself up like the Tokyo cats did, and she’s there to help with all of that. She’s around to pat his hair back down and make sure he always has something to eat, even if it’s just grass.

But for all lack of kitty expertise, he’s an incredible dad to Pachinko. He risked injury and death in those terrifying woods and while she knows all cats are brave, that strength was entirely his own. She went with him to protect him from ghosts and monsters and things she wasn’t sure he knew how to hide from, but at the end of the day, he could've gotten Pachinko back on his own. How could she not look at him and see him for the perfect cat he is? He’s talented in so many ways, even if she has to help him with more of the basic cat things. He can make onigiri, play baseball, whistle with grass, doodle beautiful images with his non-paws and help her pick out constellations in the sky-there’s a reason he’s her favorite.

He puts himself down on occasion, in a very lowkey fashion, that she picks up on because please-that’s her boy. She has to make sure he’s never sad and his inability to see the beautiful heart he holds is something she wants to change without a clear idea on how to do that. But gosh she's going to try!!!!

TLDR; HER GOODEST BOY!!!!!
