Chapter 462 - 471
The girl’s face showed a hint of worry, but her eyes were closed, so she didn’t see any of it.
But the viewers online saw everything the cat was doing. If this scene had appeared in a cartoon, it would have been heartwarming and sweet. But seeing it happen in real life just felt... eerie.
The live comments were still flooding the screen.
[What the hell?! What is this?]
[This has to be staged, right?]
[What kind of cat can act this well?]
[If this is really an act, then I’m seriously impressed. This cat’s acting is better than some A-list actors’.]
[But the real question is, don’t you guys think this is creepy?]
[Could this cat be possessed by a ghost or something?]
The girl couldn’t resist the urge to open her eyes and see what was happening, but a sudden sense of panic washed over her.
’Is something touching my head? Is that the cat?’
’Mimi’s smart, but isn’t this a little *too* weird?’
An indescribable, unsettling feeling began to spread through her. Lying on the floor, the hand holding the phone to record started to tremble, but she did her best to control it.
Then, a gentle force touched her, leaving a faint warmth on her head.
But what the online viewers saw was a completely different scene. The little cat had lifted its front paws, standing only on its hind legs.
First, it patted the girl’s forehead, then it walked a full circle around her, shaking its head thoughtfully.
Finally, it picked up a towel with its mouth and jumped onto the high bathroom sink. It turned on the faucet, soaked the towel under the running water, then dragged the wet towel back and placed it on the girl’s forehead. The whole sequence was incredibly bizarre.
The entire process was smooth and efficient. The cat didn’t hesitate for a second, acting as if it had done this many times before.
[I gotta say, this cat is actually really touching. My little brat at home can’t do anything!]
[That’s nothing. I once saw a video where a mother fainted and her three kids just kept chowing down.]
[Right? So many kids these days have zero empathy!]
[If you ask me, they’re worse than this cat!]
[You guys are making this sound way too far-fetched.]
[That’s not the point. The point is that it’s a CAT acting like a PERSON! Don’t you guys find that terrifying?!]
Amidst these debates, the girl on the floor, overcome by curiosity, finally peeked her eyes open.
She already sensed something was wrong. It felt like something was trying to grab her phone.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the cat looking at her anxiously, desperately trying to pull the phone away from her.
’Don’t tell me it knows how to use the phone to call for an ambulance?’
The instant the girl’s eyes opened, the cat—which had been so full of intelligence and human-like animation a moment ago—immediately started acting like a normal kitten. It began rolling on the floor, rubbing against her affectionately, and running in circles.
The girl knew what the cat had done. Even with her eyes closed, she had felt the towel on her forehead, and her mind was racing.
She felt a complete mess inside. She had always treated Mimi like her own child, but she had accepted it *as a cat*.
’It’s just a little kitten. But if it’s actually a person... no matter how I think about it, this is just so awkward!’
The girl gave the cat a long, hard look, a genuine fear creeping into her heart. She didn’t scoop it up for a hug like she usually would.
Instead, she grabbed her phone and scrambled into her room in a panic.
[What is she doing?]
Some viewers came to the cat’s defense, furiously criticizing her online.
[The cat’s being so good to her! What’s there to be scared of?!]
But others shared her sentiment.
[Don’t you guys think it’s terrifying? It’s a cat, but it can do literally everything!]
The girl looked nervously at Su Nian. "What on earth is going on? Is my cat... actually a person?"
"My cat isn’t some kind of demon, is it? Other people get the River Snail Maiden from the legends, but I get a Cat Maiden?"
Su Nian just gave her a meaningful look. "Don’t you think this little cat bears a striking resemblance to someone?"
