The Counterattack Begins

Wait. How did you end up like that?
I hid because I was scared of mice.
I know that part. Why did you become toast?
...Good question.
I liked socks. Warm, with a familiar smell.
I put that out to wash.
Maybe that’s why it smelled so familiar.
Even they didn’t know for sure.

I was buried in a slipper.
So that’s why my foot wouldn’t fit.
I was in the wardrobe.
...Wait.
Since when did I have this many cats?
murmur murmur
I’ve always been here.
I got here yesterday.
I followed him.
Before the mice, I need to count the cats.

Did you call them?
You told me to find your friends.
No, that’s what YOU told ME.
...
Ever heard of the First Box Cat?
You mean you?
No. I’m just Box Cat. The First Box Cat was here before me.
I thought he was a package.

They say the First Box Cat was the very first Pitanyang.
Then where is he?
Dunno. I’ve only heard stories.
They say he remembers the day he changed.
Then could we change back?
...Let’s find him and ask.

Wait, what does Pitanyang even mean?
No idea. The human just started calling us that.
Why? You all came when I called.
We thought you had strawberries.
So it wasn’t the name.
We decided to find the First Box Cat.
None of them knew the way.
