Background / History

Little Black Cat began as a young stray living and hunting alongside Little White Cat. The two caught rats, hid food in trees, and regularly wandered into neighboring territories in search of prey. Their small size made them targets for larger cats, including a giant orange cat and an adult calico cat. 267 309 396

Its first major mutation occurred when an adult cat pinned Little White Cat to the ground. Golden spiritual light appeared in Little Black Cat’s eyes, and its body rapidly expanded. The transformation frightened the attacker into retreating, but Little Black Cat initially had no control over when it could transform or how long the change would last. 340 345

Little Black Cat’s transformations became stronger after repeated danger. During a later confrontation with an adult calico cat, it grew to more than twice the opponent’s size, although the form lasted less than fifteen seconds and left it unable to move. Little White Cat remained beside it and urged it to avoid wasting its strength. 397

Zhou Tongtong’s care and psionic energy helped accelerate the cats’ development. Lin Li later gave both cats Spirit Fruits, allowing them to reach the First-Order Initial Stage and control their psionic energy well enough to conceal their nature from the Ability Management Bureau. 345 378 543

After the breakthrough, Little Black Cat could enlarge its body deliberately. It used the ability to carry Zhou Tongtong, intimidate stray dogs, hunt oversized rats, and rescue people from the water. Overuse remained dangerous: exhausting its psionic energy caused dizziness, weakness, and temporary listlessness. 632 633 655 882

Little Black Cat and Little White Cat eventually became capable hunters and organizers among the local strays. They expanded their territory, helped subordinate cats fight off intruders, exposed thieves at Zhou Tongtong’s school, and acted together whenever one of them or their allies was threatened. 900 1172 1421

When criminals captured Little Black Cat for experimentation, Zhou Tongtong located it through her awakened ability and guided Lin Li to the warehouse. Lin Li rescued it, and Little Black Cat returned to Zhou Tongtong and Little White Cat shaken but determined to become stronger. 1099 1101

Personality

Little Black Cat is energetic, proud, and highly food-motivated. It frequently boasts about its strength and enjoys showing off its enlarged form, but its confidence can lead it to overuse its ability or rush into danger. 345 632 633

It is strongly protective of Little White Cat and Zhou Tongtong. Its first transformation occurred while defending Little White Cat, and it repeatedly places itself between Zhou Tongtong and perceived threats. It also saved drowning fishermen despite being mistaken for a monster afterward. 340 345 723 1243

Although impulsive, Little Black Cat is capable of learning from experience. After being captured, it resolved to train harder, and it gradually became more cautious about revealing its powers in front of humans. 720 1101
