Bakeneko

Half a year ago, on a stormy night, this bakeneko collapsed from exhaustion at the doorstep of Shimoi Tae's home and was taken in by her. Since then, it has lived there as a resident freeloader. Despite being a supernatural creature, it displays a remarkably sociable nature—regularly indulging in drink and engaging in lively conversation—sharing a peaceful life with the elderly Tae in a port town. It plays a significant supporting role in the 'Electric Pinocchio' arc of Invented Inference Season 2.
