『Ah, It's A Wonderful Cat's Life! - Haiba Lev』

Start from the beginning
                                    

What a willful Mr. Stray we have here!
Only your eyes are sparkling in the darkness.
You sure know how to talk with that mouth,
but I am not a dumb lady.

"Your smooth words will not sway me, Lev. You should know that by now."

"I know, but it was worth a shot anyways. Will you join me tonight?"

"No, I've told you many times that I will not join you. I'm comfortable where I am."

"Cats can only live once!"

"Even so, I'm only interested in this life."

A cat can only live once,
so that's why I am being kept as a pet.
Do you even have the faintest idea
how much the collar of this brand costs?

You motion to the (favorite color) collar around your neck, the small bell twinkling, for emphasis. He gapes as you continue, walking along the windowsill, displaying your elegance.

I am graceful. Meow, meow, meow~
I eat delicious meals and sleep on a fluffy bed.
Although I slightly dislike water,
I still take a shower everyday.

"Wow, (Y/N)-san. Your human really takes care of you, don't they?"

"Exactly, which is why I would never leave them."

"Do they let you go outside?"

"Yes, and they keep me safe. What about you on the other hand?"

Compared to me, meow, meow, meow~
from who can you seek protection?
Tomorrow, just maybe,
you could be run over by a car!

"That's mean, (Y/N)-san." He whines.

"It's only the truth."

"Either way, I still like it and want you to join me."

Your assertive sassiness is charming, too.
I'm beginning to take a liking to you.

"Not even one night? My buddies will be jealous that I have such a beautiful companion, and you might even get extra fish for it!"

"That's not enough to get me out of this house."

"But a perfect cat such as you should be able to experience life beyond this window!"

Oh my, how blunt, but what you're doing
will not be able to move my heart.

"Flattery will get you no where, Lev-san."

He lays down, head lowered to peer up at you. He looks so small and innocent.

"At least let me tell you more about what I want to do with this life."

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

My dream, meow, meow, meow~
is to leap out of this town eventually,
journey to the distant Northern land,
and watch the aurora lights there.

"That's actually a wonderful dream."

"See? And I could do that if I wanted to... some time."

The only reason you knew about these aurora lights was because you had seen them before, but only on a screen. It seemed like your human has wanted to make a visit there too.

If you, meow, meow, meow~
could be there with me, it'd be wonderful.
But I guess it will never happen...

At this, he dropped his eyes away from yours, saddened. The look on Lev's face was something you had never expected from his playful self. It tugged at your heartstrings, and you knew you couldn't just leave him hanging like that.

"Maybe someday, but not right now. It's complicated, I can't just up and leave. You have it easier than me -- you can travel the world if you'd like since you don't have any attachments."

My way of living, meow, meow, meow~
cannot be changed so easily.
Besides, I simply do not have the heart
to abandon the girl who keeps me as her pet.

You look back to where he was laying, and find that he had left while you were talking. Astonished, you start calling out to him.

"Lev! Lev, wait!"

You spot the grey cat leaping down onto the trash can below. He looks back at you, his eyes glimmering.

I'm still talking, meow, meow, meow~
are you already leaving? C'mon, wait!
Please feel free to visit again tomorrow.
I will be waiting...
