In this heartwarming slice-of-life comedy, a young man is adopted into a family of cats who walk, talk, and live like humans!
After losing his mother at a young age, Nekota is taken in by family friends…who happen to be a couple of human-sized walking, talking cats. Not only do his new parents have paws, tails, and furry pointed ears, but now he also has an adorable little sister, Neneko-chan! As a high schooler, he’s integrated well into their household, and his precocious adoptive sister has fully accepted him as her big brother. Whether she’s showing him things she brought home from elementary school, purrsistently asking him to play with her mouse toy, or waking him up at the same early hour every morning for breakfast, life with this charming feline family is never dull!

The premise of a cat family and cat sister is very unique and is executed well. The cats bring out cat-like characteristics that never stray from their roles in a family. Some examples being the daughter's love of fish cookies but still wearing bows or holding things in her mouth and waiting at the door for the MC to come home much like a pet or an attached younger sibling. The series touches on the adopted MCs past but reinforces how he is loved and cared for in his new family, which adds a sense of realism while keeping a light tone. The art style is warm and fun and all the other characters feel distinct and believable despite most being cats. I would include March Comes in like a Lion and Gakuen Babysitters as similar in theme.
