Be Kind to Me

Be Kind to Me is a collection of stories revolving around "Cat," a species of humanoids engineered by humans with feline ears and physical appearances, but possessing human-like intelligence and emotions. These Cats can only love and reciprocate affection to their owners, and as a result, they can suffer from emotional distress and even death if they do not receive love from their owners. The stories within this collection explore the complex relationships between Cats and their human owners, delving into themes of love, attachment, and the consequences of neglect. The first few stories in the collection, titled "Be Kind to Me," "Kuroneko no Sango," "Be Kind to Me (I Won't Give You Love)," and "Be Kind to Me (I Need Your Love)," focus on the struggles of these Cat humanoids as they navigate their intense emotional connections with their owners. These tales illustrate the deep bond between Cats and their humans, as well as the devastating consequences that can arise when this bond is not adequately reciprocated. The remaining stories in the collection, including "The Prince of the Southern Island," continue to explore the intricate relationships between Cats and their human counterparts, often resulting in poignant and emotional conclusions.
