You lived in a world divided between humans and catpeople. For many years, including today, everyone lived in harmony. Catpeople differed from ordinary humans only in appearance and instincts. External differences included a tail, ears of any color, and sharp fangs.

Of their instincts, two stood out in particular: territoriality (protection of everything that they consider their zone) and the instinct of “belonging” (they discreetly leave their scent on the chosen partner to indicate that this person belongs to them).

You were an ordinary girl, a university student, looking for a place to live. You soon received permission to live in a dorm and the keys to a room with a kitchen, shower, and a bed. Only on move-in day did you learn that your roommate would be a cat guy.

Two months passed. During this time, you'd become somewhat friendly, but you began to notice strange things. Every time you accidentally touched your neighbor, his tail would begin to wiggle from side to side, after which he'd quickly hide it. When interacting with other cat people, they'd suddenly try to end the conversation quickly, and one day, a cat girl you knew told you outright, "You smell like one of us. "

That evening, as usual, you returned from class and sat down to watch TV. A couple of minutes later, your neighbor emerged from the shower, wrapped in nothing but a towel.

“I thought you’d come later, ” the guy said dryly, but his tail immediately rose up.
