Chapter 137: Lulu Has Become a Cat Owner!

Re‌a​d ​o​n​ ​K‌a​​t‍R‍e‍a‌d‌i‌ng‍C‌​a‌f​e‌

The chat was suddenly flooded with question marks and chaos.

I was so startled that my eyes spun in circles.

Huh, huh…?

Why is everyone like this?

Did I say something wrong?

As I panicked and replayed what I said, I realized my mistake.

It was a statement that could easily be misunderstood.

“Ah, no! Everyone! Listen to me first!”

• Lulu abandoned us…
• This is heartbreaking.
• Are you already preparing to move in?
• I’ve decided to become an anti-fan of Lulu.

That’s not what I meant!

Sure, I made a mistake, but…!

Why is everyone jumping to conclusions and misunderstanding?!

“Ah, no! When I said I’m living with someone, I didn’t mean that! I meant I’m getting a pet!”

• A pet?
• Ah.
• So that’s what it was? lol
• Phew.
• I almost had a heart attack, Lulu…

No, why are you all relieved?!

It’s obvious, isn’t it?!

Where in the world would a VTuber proudly announce that they’re living with someone?!

Even if that were the case, it would at least be with family or a member!

“Ahem! But since I made a mistake this time, I won’t scold you. Just behave better!”

• ?
• You’re blaming us?
• This is unfair.

Hmph, it’s not unfair.

It’s the punishment for daring to speculate.

Who told you to make such baseless assumptions?

“Let me explain in detail. Next week, a new family member is coming to my house. It’s a cat friend, and I haven’t decided on a name yet.”

• Oh.
• Cats are nice.
• So Lulu is a cat person.
• If you’re a dog person, I’m quitting being a Lulu fan.

“Ugh, whether it’s a dog or a cat, as long as it’s cute, it’s fine! Why are you dividing yourselves like this?!”

People might think I don’t like dogs!

I love dogs too, you know?!

It’s just that this time, I’m getting a cat not because I like cats more, but because of the circumstances!

• So how did you end up getting a cat?

“Actually, a while ago, I found an injured cat near my apartment. It was limping slightly on one leg, and it seemed like it had been abandoned by its group.”

• Ah…
• That’s sad.
• There are cats like that sometimes, yeah. They wander alone, unable to join any group.

Yeah, that’s right.

At first, I wasn’t sure.

But later, I saw a cat that seemed to be from the same group, and I was convinced.

I still remember the other cat puffing up its fur, warning me to stay away.

Then this cat drooped its tail.

I felt so sorry for it.

“I also feel a bit sorry when I see stray cats, but if you feed them, it can cause problems, right? And taking them in without thinking is also an issue.”

• That’s true.
• That’s why there’s so much fuss about cat moms these days lol.
• If you take them in without thinking, the mother might think the kitten is lost and look for it.
• It’s complicated.

So I thought a lot at first.

Is it right to take this cat in and live together?

But seeing that abandoned cat, I strangely saw myself in it.

So in that moment, I decided to follow my heart.

“But watching it, I felt so sorry. I’ve lived without family too, so I know how lonely and hard it can be.”

• ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
• Ah…
• Lulu must have had a hard time too.
• It must have felt like meeting your past self.

Yeah, I think it’s similar.

Of course, it might be strange to see myself in a cat.

But at that time, that’s how I felt.

“So I thought the first thing to do was to treat it, so I took it to the vet. Luckily, it didn’t seem hostile to people, and we quickly became friends after giving it some treats.”

• Treats lol
• Can’t resist treats lol
• Even stray cats can’t resist…

You should have seen the scene.

After finishing a whole stick of treats the cat limped over to me and rubbed against my legs.

It was so cute.

“And later, the vet told me that if cats get used to human hands, it’s harder for them to return to their group. That’s when I decided, ‘Ah, I should take care of this cat.’”

• Wow.
• Chosen as a cat owner lol
• Lulu is really kind…

It’s not that I’m kind.

It’s just a sense of kinship.

Wouldn’t it be nice to live together with someone in a similar situation?

That’s why I decided to adopt it.

• So is the cat still being treated?

“Ah, right. The treatment is done, and there shouldn’t be any major issues with movement. But it needs some nutritional supplements and rest for a while, so I left it there.”

• I see.
• It must be cute.
• So when is it coming?

“The discharge date is set for next Monday… so three days from now. I’ll probably buy some things for the house and bring it home by then.”

• That’s fast.
• What does it look like?
• Lulu, wear a cat ear headband and become friends with the cat!!

Ugh, why would I wear a cat ear headband?!

Do you think I’m an idiot?!

Wearing that won’t make me friends with the cat!

Well, of course, when I first talked to the cat.

I didn’t know how to approach it, so I said, ‘Meow…?’ but!

That was just to facilitate communication, so it doesn’t count!

“Ah, by the way, the cat is completely white. I didn’t know there were white stray cats, but there are.”

• Oh.
• White stray cats are rare.
• There are quite a few near my house.
• Sometimes you see them.
• Usually, they have stripes, but this one doesn’t.

Yeah, it was my first time seeing one too.

Usually, stray cats are orange or black with stripes.

Even if they don’t have stripes, they’re partially black.

But this one was pure white.

After washing it at the vet, it looked twice as cute.

At first, it looked a bit scruffy with dirt and dust but after cleaning, it looked like a regular cute house cat.

• How old is the cat?

“The vet said it’s about 4 months old. For its age, it’s not too small.”

• Quite young.
• So the mother abandoned a 4-month-old kitten?
• The mother cat’s personality is questionable

I’m not sure if that’s considered a mom joke.

But honestly, I was a bit mad at the mother cat too so I can understand the feeling.

How can you abandon a kitten less than a year old?

“Actually, today, after eating with the members, I went to see it because I was worried. It’s already gained some weight. At first, I didn’t even recognize it.”

• lol
• How much did it eat? lol
• It’s going to become a chubby cat when it comes home lol

Yeah, right.

When it comes home, I’ll have to feed it properly.

If I give it too many treats, it’ll get fat quickly.

“But it listens really well. It seemed to remember me, and when I said, ‘Come here,’ it came running.”

• I can imagine, so cute lol
• You shouldn’t forget your savior lol
• “Are you my owner?”
• My cat hasn’t listened to me for 4 years…

So there are cat owners among the cherries too.

Well, anyway, not listening for 4 years…

At that point, isn’t it more of a problem with the owner than the cat?

“So, I’m thinking about what to name it. Cherries, do you have any good name ideas?”

• How about something simple like Cookie?
• Name it Cherry and give it kisses every day
• Name it Tteokbokki

Ugh, seriously.

When I ask the cherries for advice, they never give proper answers.

Well, Cookie… it’s not bad, but it’s too plain.

• Since it’s white, how about Tofu? Lulu likes tofu, right?

“Oh, Tofu! That’s cute. Hehe, then I’ll name it Tofu. Thank you!”

• Tofu is a safe choice.
• A classic name for a white cat lol

Yeah, it feels safe now that I’ve decided but this time, it has its own meaning.

Even though I’ve distanced myself from tofu… not exactly parted ways, but still.

Now I’m starting a new life with Tofu!

With that meaning, the cat’s name is decided as Tofu!

“Alright, now that we’ve finished talking about Tofu, let’s move on to the main content, shall we? We were going to do a food tier list, right?”

• Looking forward to it.
• Lulu’s food preferences seem super firm lol

Now that the announcements are over, it’s time to start the main broadcast.

I search for food tier rankings online and enter the link.

There’s a chart from S-tier to D-tier.

Below it, there are small icons of various foods.

There are quite a lot of types.

Of course, there’s Korean food, but there’s also a lot of foreign food and things I’ve never heard of.

There are desserts too.

“Alright, let’s get started! I don’t overthink, so I’ll go through this quickly!”

• Let’s go!
• Sure lol
• You’re going to get choice paralysis soon.

Hey, don’t underestimate me!

Just watch, I’ll show you my objectively analyzed food tier list!

“First up! Acorn jelly (Dotori-muk)!”

• This is C-tier lol
• C is generous lol
• Personally, it’s D-tier.
• It’s surprisingly good.

As a representative Korean side dish appeared, the chat quickly filled with the cherries’ opinions.

Tsk tsk, these cherries don’t know anything.

How can there be so many tasteless people?!

Click-

I immediately dragged the acorn jelly picture to the S-tier and declared confidently.

“Acorn jelly is S-tier! What are you all talking about?!”

• ?
• Huh?
• What?
• She’s trying to stir things up from the start…

At that moment, perhaps foreseen from the beginning.

The full-scale battle with the cherries began.
