Well, that mother cat definitely gives off motherly vibes.

Not surprised they would have this type of episode eventually. A cat mother always felt like it needed its spotlight given the nature of this show. Nekoryuu's reaction when getting licked was priceless LOL

Glad for both of them, we finally got to see their reunion 7 episodes in!

Most of Nekoryuu's siblings have already passed away, which implies that Mama Nyan has some kind of long longevity power or perhaps even immortality. That's not something I was expecting. But then, now that I think about it, her human companion is already an adult suggesting 15 or so yrs, and she hasn't changed one bit in appearance since.

@MarcioNeves @holdingnothing @Gaabbbiiiieeeee Thanks for clarifying! I must've glossed over it or something along those lines.

@Niveen_Sleem At this point, it wouldn't surprise me. Overpowered motherly skill is all we know so far but there's definitely more, xD.

I feel like the girl should be a very, very old woman by this point, if not dust, but maybe shes keeping young with magic?
Either that or the dragon grew up insanely fast.

Moshamosha IV holding down the fort even to a local legend like a true Moshamosha.

@fast2611 I think we shouldn't assume people in this world age as we do.

I mean, there's been 4 Moshamosha's, and she left before the first, that means 4 generations of sith cats.

And we know the mom got on living cause she ate all those magic stones, so... she's old :)

@gulthaw well assuming the old farmer met og Moshamosha near the end of their life, and the cats live .... like cats, his age about matches.
we also have seen three or more generations of kings which either means all of them died and had kids in theiir teens, or the girl is potentially several hundred years old, as all the forgetting and legend building around the dragon in the first episode implies. No other cat or human has been shown to have an abnormal lifespan like this besides these two, and even mommy cat thought the dragon might have died of old age already. Somethings up with that girl, and I hope its not bad writing.

@_MushiRock11_ it was stated at episode 2 that due to the summoning, the familiar contract and ger ganing a second tail that she would live WAY longer than a regular Cat Sith

@fast2611 many cats in the wild don't usualy live longer than 10 or so years, even the very big ones, like Lions and Tigers. She mus have been with that girl as a familiar for 10 or 15 years, by now, I would guess. Long enought for most if not all of her children to have already passed away. And, yes, I would guess even him being aroung ~15 years by now, he would be already a full grown dragon, in general animals are portraied to mature and become adults way faster than humans 😁

I wonder if it is because she ate the magical creatures that gave her the second tail (i don’t remember what they were).

THAT ENDING WAS SO PRECIOUS!!!! <333 I can't believe what NekoRyuu was feeling after suddenly seeing his mom in front of their home, when he believed all his family passed away, I started tearing up QvQ It was so so adorable seeing him immediately going back to acting like a kid in front of his mom <3 And Mama Cat realizing that one of her kids was still alive, and did such an amazing and important job at protecting their home and making it a safe space for aaaaaaaall the Cait Siths that came after her own. But she's such a my-pace cat xD Poor NekoRyuu needed a moment to react properly.


Tho till this episode I didn't know that his siblings passed away a long time ago Q.Q I thought that Cait Siths had a longer life expectancy, but I guess I got that wrong. I was thinking how weird it was that Mama cat was perfectly fine after living just around some 10ish years with Anne, while there has been at least 4 generations of cats earning the the MoshaMosha title. I know she turned into something more powerful after eating the carbuncles, but I didn't know that changed her life expectancy! I also loved Haibuchi's character so much!! His seiyuu is so good <33 I love his squeaky raspy voice. It was so fun how his personality clicked so well with Mama cat's!

@_MushiRock11_ They established that eating all the carbuncle stones seemingly helped her evolve in some way, but I have to wonder if Cat Dragon might be wrong, unless they also establish something specific on how long Cait Sith tend to live

@fast2611 I have to guess it's implied that Mama Nyan (such a cute nickname) was already pretty old, but eating all the carbuncle stones made her get a new lease on life and now she's probably got...another 50-100 years in her, if I had to make a rough guess?

Dragon maturity does seem to be pretty rapid here, if it's been maybe...50 years at most

@LostSpectre Normal cat lifespan is 13-20 years. Mama-nyan got summoned by girl who was probably 10-12 years old at that time. Mama-nyan outlived her kids (except Dragon cat), so that's around 20 years or less later. Which means the girl who's now a teacher at the school is around late 20s to 30 years old. Pretty logical timeline.

Episode definitely got me misty-eyed. It was a great reunion, although it was very sublime.


Demon cat can never get a break from Mama-nyan. But how can you get angry with that cuteness?



Your adult kids will always want to mother you as much as you mother them.


Every tail adds extra life to her years


Every cat from that forest would have heard the story from Winged Uncle. Mama-nyan is the cat of legends.


Absolutely beautiful episode
