“Oji-sama to Neko” tells the story of Fukumaru, a cat who grew up in a petshop when nobody wanted to buy him because he was “ugly”. Fukumaru is an exotic shorthair — a cross between a Persian and an American Shorthair, which explains the flat face and stubby body. One day, an older gentleman dropped by the store and purchased him, and life has changed for Fukumaru ever since.
