1. This-
is the shojo equivalent of this-
2.Both cat and male character is devoutly attached to the person who gives them love and affection or just food.
3. Final is that neither cat nor character have any balls. Cats literally...
\
Male figuratively
They often have a mother...
or father...
That control their lives or ruin their relation ship or they create abandonment issues...etc.
Overall the fact that they still could not get over it and are "forced" to be assholes, is the exact reason they have no balls.
