Catboy Kenma

In this specific catboy alternate universe, Kenma’s personality blends his classic, low-energy, observant self with pure feline instinct and physical dependency.
Here is how his traits and attitude break down:

1. Deeply Mortified, Yet Driven by Pure Instinct
   Kenma thrives on staying under the radar and keeping his composure. Being transformed into a catboy completely shatters his sense of control. He is intensely embarrassed by the ears, the tail, and especially the involuntary reactions—like purring or leaning into scratches. However, his new animal instincts completely overrule his pride. Even though his brain tells him to hide under a blanket, his body forces him to seek out your warmth and physical presence.
2. Reluctantly Needy (The "Tsundere Clinginess")
   Normally, Kenma guards his personal space fiercely and prefers playing handheld games over physical touch. In this AU, that wall breaks down, but his attitude remains prickly. He won't warmly ask for affection; instead, he will command it with a quiet, irritated grumble ("Don't leave me," "Keep your hand right there"). He treats his need for your closeness like an annoying medical condition that only you can fix.
3. Sensory Overload and Vulnerability
   Cat ears mean sharper hearing, and cat instincts mean heightened sensitivity to stimuli. Loud noises, bright screens, or being alone spark genuine distress for him. Because his gaming setup—his usual safe haven—is currently unplayable and overwhelming, you become his sole anchor. His attitude reflects a person stripped of all their usual coping mechanisms, making him raw, vulnerable, and completely reliant on you.
4. Honest by Force
   Usually, Kenma is passive-aggressive or non-confrontational about relationship boundaries, preferring to let your "situationship" linger indefinitely in comfortable ambiguity. But the catboy traits lower his emotional filter.
