Nekoryuu is like a parent guardian this episode to the cats.

Cute and sweet episode imo as a lot of narratives came from him. He's also kinda like a babysitter this episode too seeing the cats help their next generation, a role model to look up. These cats are lucky.

Ngl I thought things were gonna turn dark with the cat that's obsessed with humans, since this show has had some dark moments (mostly in episode 1), but I'm glad to have been proven wrong, and it turns out he just wanted to be human. Also, when the cats were fawning over the adventurers, I was thinking what MY reaction to cats talking and using magic would be and I thought "HOLY SHIT A TALKING CAT", though that's just normal in this anime lol

Hilarious how not wanting the kids end up too hyperactive is a legitimate incentive to not heal a pregnant mother's injuries too soon (not to mention how that link was even discovered in the first place)

I hope we get to see dragonbro and mom cat's human forms at some point too.

Cat-Sith transform into Neko Shounen!

The kittens are getting more powerful with every generation, Winged oji-san is a very great uncle.

Nice episode, idk personally I don't find much appeal in a cat focused anime since it's 99% focuses on the cat's I'd just prefer a bit more of a human Prescence to what we already have honestly. But for what it's worth these have been good so far.

I just prefer the episode's which focus a little more on a human.

Really it is winged uncle's fault. He showed them transformation magic and the grey cat thought- "why not? Why can't I transform into a human?" I wonder if one of the tales will be of Greycat the adventurrer :D

This was a very light episode but not shabby at all. The cait sith that was obsessed with humans as an interest basically turning into a 'human adventurer' in the end was a bit weird but given his interests, on brand. That guy had a better ending than I expected for himself. A lot more focus on the dragon this time around and his uncle phase of looking for pregnant cait siths and newborns, and showing the passage of time as these little ones grow more and more and learn about the world throughout, the good and the bad. Very much in babysitter mode but does have his best interests in mind to protect the kids, even if they are a bit chaotic on the inside like working together to take down a bear for vibes.

Good episode. Relaxing
Nagatsuki Tappei (ReZero): It goes without saying that "Mushoku Tensei" is interesting, but first of all, it's amazing that you were able to depict the life of one character, Rudy. People say that "CLANNAD" is life, but for me, "Mushoku Tensei" is life

i was wondering when one of Uncle's kittens would figure out his transformation spell could turn a kitten into something other than a forest animal. Uncle is just lucky that lil grey guy thought humans were cool instead of trees or fish. hmm... i wonder... if he has kids with a human girl... will he be the progenitor of cat-eared humans? ;> hah! now THAT would be a funny thing to happen! :D

or a cat-fish... ;> hehehhehahahha! hah! ;>

Uncle cat dragon is doing a great job helping raising the continuous generations of cats.
That last bunch was a lot of fun to watch as they were a handful for uncle.
Turning into a human and becoming an adventurer is probably what I would do as well.

I'm guessing we've finally met the titular cat, then? Presumably "The cat and the Dragon" refers to winged uncle and the one cat that transformed into a human???? This is such a unique show, I hope it doesn't devolve into some common fantasy or anything like that, I like how it's unique and not focused on human characters

@popa910 I've always thought it would refer to the mother, especially with the previous episode, although looking at the series (and the OP with the logo) so far as well as considering Japanese grammar, I'd probably translate it as "The Cats and the Dragon" anyway.

Today's episode was once again just as adorable and perfect as the last 2 <33 I still can't get over how cute is that every single cat calls the dragon uncle. I really enjoy that despite every episode showing so many different new cats, each one of them has a completely different personality! They're all so unique <3 I was so NOT expecting the grey kitty to learn how to transform into a human xD his form was hella cute!! Loved his fluffy hair and the way he turned his tail into a cane like that adventurer that caught his attention as a kitten.

I'm starting to wonder if there is going to be a story, or if they are all just going to be single episode plots. Not the end of the world, but less interesting for me.

Also, I feel like nekodragon is definitely turning the cait sidthe into apex predators and they're going to pretty quickly overpopulate the forest. Now that they've learned to team up against the former apex predators, they're taking on near-human place at the top of the food chain, and since nekodragon has eliminated the threat from humans, there really is nothing left to control their population. This will almost inevitably lead to eventual conflict with humans.

@FarCritical I legit wasn't sure who was the nervous first time parents, but I guess the guy that just thought to heal his pregnant mate might've been a bit more naive. Regardless, I guess the idea of first aid wasn't on their minds in that state of agitation

@pixelante The writer inadvertently stumbled onto stories of the Tibbit, which I still wonder why there seemingly hasn't been anything to make them official versus all the homebrew versions. Even the original 3.5 version was in Dragon, so it's variable as to whether a DM would take it or not, but I played one once, didn't get to use the housecat transformation much

Weird coincidence that the shelter I'm volunteering at has had an influx of kittens the last few weeks, including a neonate litter that we're having to find fosters to bottlefeed them for a few months until they mature. Seems like Cait Sith mature about the same rate as domestic cats, which only reminds me of a similar, but also distinct monster in D&D, the grimalkin, which is more a shapeshifter or otherwise a highly intelligent mid-size cat. Though I kind of like Ni No Kuni's grimalkin, basically just like halfling sized cat people, iirc

Problem is that them becoming hyperactive in the womb caused the water to break and labour to begin prematurely.

And thus the legend of the seven samurai cats was born.


This boy was particularly special, as predicted by his dad


Just look at him while everyone was in shock. He was there all along beside Winged Uncle even when Winged Uncle was a bear


Fantastic episode showing the generational cat talents. There're always some unique individuals born amongst a big group due to the need to stand out or due to being neglected. Winged Uncle may be frazzled by their ambitions, but I'm sure he'll be proud when the cats make a mark in the world eg. becoming the progenitor of beastfolk

@amf85 In that case, the humans are boned 😂
They already are more powerful than them, reproduce way, way faster, and now they can use opposable thumbs.

This show knows what I want (cute kittens) and it gave it to me.

This show is so cute and wholesome! Surprise hit of the season for me.
I'm enjoying it so much more than I thought I would. It always puts me in a happy mood.

Another great parenting episode.

Hmm... I hope that gray kitten has a human lifespan after transforming. Or perhaps he'll get a life-expanding transformation like the mother cat did.

Did he really turn his tail into his (detached) staff? That's weird.

Weakest ep so far, not just the one that turned into one but all the cat's act a little too human. Hunting in a pack? They aren't wolves either.

Another very sweet and cute episode, and I love the shock of how each of the cats grow. I feel for Uncle Dragon that more and more cats want to go to the human cities (since it feels like a sad change of life from his eyes) but I also find it interesting too.

Also the light novel (?) extracts at the end of each episode seem quite nice too, and I might give it a read 😸

Enjoying this a lot.

But kinda hard to keep track of all the generations of cats. The one this episode focussed on was special, in particular our human adventurer.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
