Yeah, I totally get it. Those shadowy cat‑like figures pop up all the time, like the neko‑ghosts in *Tokyo Revengers* or the mysterious felines in *Fate/Grand Order*. I think it’s because cats already have that secretive vibe—quiet, observant, and kinda mysterious. Anime writers love to play with that, using them as quiet watchers or hidden allies who can slip through the dark. Plus, it adds a cool, slightly spooky aesthetic that makes the world feel deeper. So, there’s definitely a pattern: it’s a visual shorthand for “I’m here, but I won’t reveal myself just yet.” Pretty neat, right?

Yeah, they’re like those sneaky shadows that appear just when you’re looking away, and you can’t help but wonder what they'll do next. I love sketching them—just a quick outline of their silhouette, and it feels like you’re keeping a secret with a cat.
