Boss Is Asleep, Cannot Stop Me From Frogposting

Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting

As a massive cat person, I love how the Cat King is literally just the natural result of a cat taking human form. He's fickle. He's finicky. He changes his mind a lot. He's moody. He self sabotages almost immediately by putting the bracelet on Edwin when Edwin is clearly digging him, too. He correctly understands that he's cute and funny and will use it to get his way. He wants to terrorize the bird (Monty the Crow.) He's manipulative. He's dramatic. He has a weird but oddly consistent and charming sense of humor. He's a little problematic but in a fun, chill way. He likes one (1) person and all of the non-Edwins are just weird and unwanted. He hates trees. He's impulsive. I love him for being a cat.

“I love A-Ha!”

Adding to my post about the Cat King and how his actions are more understandable when you view him through the lens of him being a cat:

The Cat King doesn't fully start acting more human until after he dies.

Yeah, we see him lounging around and looking at the bracelet like a moody Victorian love interest, but it's still very catlike. He's missing the person he got attached to, so he's back to playing with a toy that reminds him of that person. He's confident and cocky when Esther breezes in, acting like nothing is wrong---

And then she beats him to death.

There's something to be said, I think, about how when we meet the Cat King for the first time, he's a fluffy ginger boy, and a large one at that (I think, I've only ever had large cats and he looked normal-size to me, which means that he's big). Which fits with his personality---he's flamboyant, he's showy, and he acts on instinct instead of any rational thought. You can't really get any more "cat" than a creamsicle boy who is somehow always doing exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.

But when the Cat King's reborn, he's a smaller, sleek black cat. His style's darker, less showier, more personal. He feels a bit more grounded, a bit more human. And he acts like it.

TL;DR: Something something leaving bad habits behind when you die and doing something different with your new life
