Cat's Gratitude

Orange Cat Kate raced along on all fours, just like a real cat.

He let out a series of mournful "meows," tears rolling down the fur on his face.

"I hate ghosts! I hate ghosts!"

Having once had a strange encounter with ghosts, the orange cat did everything he could to flee the Shadow Monster behind him.

If he were still in his original, strong male body, he might have been able to keep his fear in check. But now, his feline instincts had overwhelmed him with terror, leaving him with only one thought: to get away as quickly as possible.
