I wonder what fun things will happen today at the house where the always-welcome cats Kong-al and Pat-al, and the yellow Shiba Inu live. Watching the cute antics of Dushik—who thinks he is a cat himself—while standing next to the chic cats Kong-al and Pat-al brings a smile to my face. Of course, I am sometimes flustered by the pranks that turn the whole house upside down, but seeing Dushik approach with such a nonchalant expression, I feel like I can't simply get angry.

One of my favorite authors lately is definitely Nekomaki. I have a habit of reading every single work by an author once I get hooked on them, and Nekomaki's works are no exception.

Dushik is back, you see. Now that I've written it down, it feels a bit strange.

Nekomaki: Bean Cat 9
There are ‘Pat-al & Kong-al,’ two mischievous kittens you can never hate; ‘Dusik,’ a polite and sensitive Shiba Inu; and ‘Madang-i,’ a haughty chicken roaming the streets outside. There is also a bickering but secretly loving pigeon couple, and the always peaceful sparrows and turtles. To make the already bustling house of the butler any longer, a parrot flew in one day. Seeing that it talks like a human, sings along to morning drama theme songs, and dances quite well, one might assume it is a bird someone cherishes dearly; yet, for some reason, it refuses to fly away even when the door is left open. What kind of chemistry will there be between the cat and the parrot, the Shiba Inu and the parrot, and the prickly house boss, ‘Madam Bukseul,’ and the parrot?
