Oishi was walking to the park. He was going to meet Kikumaru there.
Rong, rong.
Oishi looked down on the ground. "Oops, I dropped something." He started to reach the fallen object, but stopped midway. A Himalayan walked toward the object. "Mrow." Oishi picked the object up. The cat looked at him. He bent down. He tossed the object lightly to the cat. The object produced ringing sounds. The cat played with it.
"You like this too, huh. It's for a friend of mine. Today is Cat Day. We are sort of celebrating it. He acts like a cat sometimes."
"Mroaw." The Himalayan was still concentrating at the lattice ball with bells.
Oishi petted the cat. Then, he took two bunches of fur from the two sides above his eyes. He straightened and curled them out to look like the forelocks of his own hair. The cat got bored, so he decided to leave.
"Eh? Leaving already? Where's your owner?" He gasped. "Are you lost? Poor cat!"
"I just got outside for ten minutes," the cat thought. It ignored Oishi and continued to walk. It got a little tickle on its nose and sneezed.
"Are you allergic to something, kitty?"
"Yeah, you!" The cat quickened its pace. "Leave me alone!"
"Wait, don't leave!" Oishi started to chase the cat. "We have to find your owner! I know, I'll put up posters! And print them in newspapers!" He picked up the cat. "I can have your ancestry traced so I can find your family!"
The cat thought, "What! Is he crazy? My owner is right there!"
Oishi was still in panic. He turned around and walked quickly. He shouted, "I'll get your paw print and bring it to the police!"
"OISHI-SEMPAI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY CAT?"

End note: Cat Day is in February 22nd because of the 2's. Two is "ni" in Japanese, almost like the sound of a cat (nya).
