Slightly longer summary: In a world much like ours, every person is supposely destined to bond with a cat.

This sacred connection isn’t just companionship, but also a magic source. Cats have always been venerated for their raw magic energy, and with the centuries, humanity learned to develop bonds with them to harness it in order to help them with everyday tasks. When a bond is formed, the cat and human share their lifespans, emotions, and their talents. The human gets to use their abilities in a refined way. The felines in exchange develop longer lifespans, a conduit for their own magic and the ability to speak the human language.

These cats don’t walk on leashes, they ride on shoulders, nest in scarves, or custom-worn leather pads. Over time, bonded humans begin to subtly reflect their feline companions (their hair shifting in color, their senses sharpening).

But not everyone has a cat. And not every cat has a human.
