The father of my benefactor, who held my front legs and was gazing into my eyes, was ordering a cat to speak all of a sudden. I did think he knew my identity, butâŠ
âNow, speak, speak.â
âMeow!â
However, this was too much! I would have ran away after scratching his hand, but my benefactorâs sister was looking at me with amused eyes.
âThat eyeâŠâ
She was looking at me like a predator playing with their food, which said she would wait to see how much I would last.
âMeowwww!â
Help me, benefactor! These humans are tormenting me! I desperately turned my head to the only hope in this house.
âChickenâŠitâs been a long timeâŠhow longâŠ?â
âThis is yummy!â
She did not seem to hear me as she reverently ate something called a chicken with the lizard. Since she was crying happy tears, she really did seem happy, butâŠ
âLook at me!â
While I tried to move my front feet, a catâs power was limited when I had decided to stay in this form.
âHey, you want a hit?â
âCan I?â
âMeow!!!â

I managed to run away from the manâs hands at the sisterâs words, but I was not safe yet. I used every ounce of my strength to run to my benefactor and sit in her lap.
âOh, Misha?â
âMeowâŠâ
My benefactor had been about to stroke me, but she realized her hands were oily from the chicken looked around for a tissue.
âOh, me too!â
The silver-haired sister came up running to sit across from my benefactor.
âOh, unnie! The leg is mine!â
âYou wonât give me a leg? Hey, you already have one! How can you have two legs?!â
âItâs been a long time. Daddy said I could!â
âYour sister says that you canât! You have not realized why a chicken has two legs and two wings!â
âI feel sorry that you donât know that you can eat a whole chicken!â
I could not fathom why the two girls were fighting for the leg with their forks and chopsticks. It was only a bird fried in oil.
âMisha, do you want a bite?â
The lizard spoke with a piece in its hand. I meowed to say I did not want one.
âMisha, youâll eat?â
My benefactor gave me a piece with happy eyes, and I thought I saw her eyes like that before.
âHere, Misha, itâs yummy. Iâll give you the tastiest part since this is your first time.â
âWhat part will you give the cat? How about this?â
âNot the neck! Thatâs dangerous for Misha!â
âI donât think soâŠâ

âHey, you took the leg!â
I remembered. I saw those eyes when the priests in my clan spread their beliefs to others.
âI donât think itâs safe here.â
Crazy believers were the most dangerous since they could give their lives for their faith and justify everything under the name of God. While the benefactor was offering me food, it would be safer to avoid her offer.
âMeow?â
âHere, Misha. Itâs the wing. I took out the bone for you.â
I felt my benefactorâs hand holding my body the moment I tried to run.
âMeow?â
While she was smiling, I was terrified when my benefactorâs hand came to my mouth.
âMeow!â
âOne bite, and youâll also love chicken like me!â
âMeoww!â
Was my benefactor merely a member of this family? She looked at me with crazed eyes and started to feed me chicken.
âHey, a new life waits for you in this meeting!â
Even my familyâs crazy believers do not say such things?! Is she feeding me drugs?!
âHey, here!â
Somehow, she fed me chicken with mad mumbling. I spat it out since the morsel seemed too ominous. However, the roomâs temperature fell down by several degrees at that moment.
âYou spat it outâŠ?â
I knew that it was due to a single person from that voice since my benefactorâs words could freeze summer.
âYou dare to spit chicken outâŠ?â

I found myself lowering my head.
âMisha, look at me.â
My animal instincts told me that raising my head meant death, and I realized I was facing a crisis.
âMi. Sha.â
âMommyâs scaryâŠâ
While the lizard tried to run, it will not be able to run far.
âHow could my sweet MishaâŠbe such a bad cat.â
Her voice would now freeze hellfire, and I only thought of one method since running away was not possible. I ate the chicken I spat out and felt idiotic doing soâŠbut hey.
âThis is tasty.â
There was something mystically tasty about this chicken.
âDo you like it?â
âMeow.â
My benefactor now hugged me and stroked my back.
âDonât do such a bad thing again.â
âMeow.â
It was delicious enough to regret spitting it out, and I think my defenses are crumbling under her handsâŠ
Wait, I am the crown prince, and how could IâŠwait, that spotâs soft!
âMeow.â
âHave another bite!â
That day, I gave in to chicken and the hand rub given to me by a human.
