Mischievous cat with a magical collar. Loves her dad and food.
Gee I wonder who that is?
Damn, I’m still one week behind, ah well. Oh and look, highlights!
Notes (10/21/2014)
Excuse my early attempts! Anyway, if you guys are actually aiming to draw cheesecake, make sure you practice drawing bodies first.
Keith: Welcome to my humble abode, I guess.
Tammy: Hmm! Smells flowery!
Cruz: So where's Myan?
Keith: She's probably under the-
Keith: -bed?
Ooh! So her name is Myan! No one knows she’ll be named that, right?
Still not used to the schedule… whew. I might reduce update schedule to 2 strips a week if needed. Probably not though.
Notes (10/19/2014)
Probably not became definitely. Dang.

[[The Brown Kitten proudly models her new collar, with a bright golden heart-shaped tag.]]
The Young Man: Love your collar, eh Myan?
Myan (The Brown Kitten): Meow!
The Young Man (waving a blue plush bunny): I know, right? It looks great on you!
[[The Young Man has donned his backpack and is heading towards the door.]]
The Young Man: 'Kay, I have to go now, try not to eat all your food at once alright?
[[The Young Man walks away down the street. Myan can be seen watching him from the window above.]]
Her tail’s quivering cause she’s marking her territory, hah.

[[The Kitten licks the last of the eggs from her paw.]]
Kitten: !
[[The Kitten, again unsure of her fate, gazes sadly into the distance.]]
Keith (musing): Well, I need someone to watch my stuff while I'm gone, but who?
[[The Kitten has enthusiastically glomped the back of Keith's head.]]
Kitten: MEOOowww...
Keith (thinking): ...CLAWS!
I can’t wait for breakfast!

I assumed back then that cats in the wild would also eat eggs, if they ever find a bird nest. I did some research about it too, and eggs do make some nice cat treats occasionally. Don’t take my word for it though! Oh, and don’t worry if you’re read the comments below, Rasheem’s cool.

[[The Kitten is curled against the far back leg of the bed.]]
<<Clatter>>
Keith: Hey.
[[Something has the Kitten's attention.]]
Kitten: *sniff, sniff*
Keith: Here's some poached eggs, I hope yo?
[[On the floor before Keith is a clean, empty plate; the Kitten is grooming herself.]]
Keith: Wow.
Laaaaate, whever. Most of the time I’ll be late because of assignments, projects, midterms and finals, but of most my midterms/finals nowadays involves making a project, ergh.
Ooh yeah, these poses for Keith is one of the hardest I’ve ever done though strangely, the one in the second panel is harder than the third one. I’ve also realized I’ve got a bit of perfectionist in me, I mean, if the only sane decision is to go insane because of some little…mistakes….*twitch* than to just keep on drawing, then yep, you are a perfectionist. Dammit, too much time spent on those floorboards, probably simplify everything a little next time before I go bonkers.
Notes (10/19/2014)
Still a hard pose, even in page 79.

Keith: You followed me all the way over here, huh?
[[The Kitten rubs against Keith's ankle.]]
Kitten: Meoow...
Keith (sighing): What am I gonna do with you? I can't keep you.
Kitten: <3
[[Keith's bedroom. Keith is on the floor looking under the bed, where the Kitten has evidently taken refuge.]]
Keith: Hey come on, get outta there...
The only reasonable explanation of Keith’s new haircut is that he was assaulted by a barber.

[[Keith (the Young Man) enters his apartment building. The Kitten follows. A bllue-haired schoolgirl is seen standing nearby.]]
[[Keith tosses his keys in the air as he enters his apartment. Behind him, the Kitten peers around the doorjamb.]]
[[Keith, hearing a sound behind him, realizes he is not alone.]]
Kitten (below frame): Purrrrrr...]]]
Look out behind you!

Young Man: Saving a lil' kitten when looking for a shortcut.
Young Man (turning to leave): Well, that's my good deed for the day.
[[The Young Man goes on his way, not noticing that the Kitten is following him]]
Are you Ceiling Cat? Ok that is the last time I’m gonna use a meme…

Grey: REEOWWWW
[[Grey flees in terror]]
[[The Figure's shadow falls across the Kitten, who gazes mournfully up at the Figure]]
[[The Shadowy Figure reveals itself to be a young man]]
Young Man: You alright?
Our gray cat probably hates me now. That is if he can read heh.

Thanks for reading Cat Nine’s very first page! If you’re new here, I suggest you read the New Reader Guide or head on to the new mirror for the old comic (Classic Cat Nine). The rants here are imported from the old site, so they may not be relevant now. Also, some of them are quite embarrassing, soo, yeah. I’ve edited them now though.

(Somewhere down the alley): ...meow
[[A grey cat confronts a frightened brown kitten, who is cornered at the end of the alley]]
Grey: Grrrrrrrr
[[Behind Grey, a shadowy figure looms]]
Shadow: RAAAHHH!!
[[Grey jumps in surprise, it's fur and tail bristling]]
