Her hair is usually depicted as long and dark, framing her face in a soft, slightly playful style that complements her curious and mischievous personality. Her facial expressions convey a mix of innocence, surprise, and sly humor, reinforcing the stray cat
impression that defines her persona in the story.
Her initial outfit is her school uniform, consisting of a blouse and skirt, reflecting her student life and emphasizing her youthfulness. This uniform establishes her status as a regular high school girl thrust suddenly into an unusual domestic situation. The school attire also contrasts with her later domestic appearances, highlighting how out-of-place she initially seems in Satou’s life while simultaneously marking her independence and self-sufficiency as a teenager managing her own life.

At home, she often wears casual, comfortable outfits—loose shirts, shorts, or loungewear—emphasizing her relaxed domestic side and gradual adaptation to living with another person. In intimate moments, such as after bathing, she may be seen in a towel, reflecting the story’s slice-of-life focus and the private, personal side of her daily routine.

Experience
Takada Mitsuru is introduced as a high school girl just turned 18 and is thrown out by her family in search of independence. She is someone who suddenly appears at the doorstep of salaryman Atsutaka Satou in her school uniform, asking for help. Her sudden arrival marks the beginning of their cohabitation, which happens almost by accident rather than through deliberate choice. Mitsuru is depicted as effectively alone in the world, with indications that she is orphanned or without family support. Because of this, she and Satou gradually start living together as housemates, though initially in a very distant and awkward way—he doesn’t even see her face regularly despite sharing a living space. Their life together is marked by slice‑of‑life developments: ordinary days are mixed with moments of growing familiarity, emotional tension, and personal challenges. Mitsuru’s presence slowly becomes more integrated into Satou’s life, and she begins to have more agency in their relationship and everyday activities—such as school, part‑time work, and mutual concern for one another’s well‑being—across the course of the series. Across the story, Mitsuru’s experience reflects a shift from isolation toward connection. She starts off as a solitary figure who suddenly appears in another person’s life, then gradually adapts to living with someone else, facing both mundane and emotionally charged situations that affect her personal growth and mutual dependency with Satou.
Personality
Mitsuru is portrayed as playful, curious, and sometimes mischievous, which gives her the stray cat
persona the story’s title alludes to. She is independent in some ways—able to take care of herself, navigate daily life, and make decisions—but also vulnerable due to her lack of family support, which makes her cautious around others at first.
She is emotionally expressive in private but initially guarded in social interactions. Her behavior oscillates between impulsiveness and surprising maturity, reflecting both her youth and the necessity of managing her life independently. She adapts quickly to her environment, displaying a natural ability to live in shared spaces, negotiate boundaries, and assert small preferences or habits, much like a cat making itself at home.
Relationship
Mitsuru’s relationship with Satou begins as a chance cohabitation, with her showing up uninvited at his apartment. Initially, there is distance and awkwardness: Satou doesn’t even see her face regularly, and Mitsuru navigates her presence cautiously, reflecting a tentative trust.
Over time, their relationship develops gradually and organically, grounded in shared routines, mutual concern, and small moments of connection. Mitsuru becomes more comfortable asserting herself, while Satou grows protective and attentive toward her well-being. The dynamic is marked by gentle intimacy and trust-building rather than overt romance at first, with both characters learning to coexist and understand each other’s habits, boundaries, and emotional needs.
Mitsuru’s presence encourages Satou to engage more actively with the world and others, while Satou provides stability and support, allowing Mitsuru to gradually transition from isolation to connection. The story emphasizes the slow, realistic development of their companionship, highlighting the small, everyday aspects of sharing life together.
Mitsuru loves Satou, and she makes love with Satou every day.
