Tao glanced up at the knock on his bedroom door, and grinned at – huh. "What did you buy?" he asked, his ears pricking in interest, seeing M-21's smirk and the bag in his hand.
M-21 didn't say anything as he walked in, his hand digging into the bag as soon as he had closed the door.
"Is this about the wolf ears?" Tao asked, his own ears straining to hear if whatever M-21 had bought gave itself away, the tips of his tail twitching. He'd bought the ears so they could match! Tao hadn't been able to find a tail that wasn't just a floppy piece of fabric though, and maybe he should just make M-21 a motorised version of wolf ears and tail? …That could be a fun project to start, actually.
"Yeah, it is," M-21 admitted, and Tao's eyebrows rose.
"Rea-" Oh. Tao started snickering. M-21 had bought one of those brightly coloured cat toys on a string. Good to see he'd finally relaxed enough to joke back though. "My instincts are not that…" Tao tracked the green thing as M-21 waved it, feeling something in his head just click. "Do that again."
He heard M-21 snort, but he still did what Tao asked him, and the mouse jumped again. Tao could feel his brain switching gears, not seeing 'cat toy', but seeing 'prey' instead, and suddenly everything was focused on having it between his paws.
He slunk off his chair, and M-21 said something, one of Tao's ears twitching at the sound, but Tao ignored him – his prey was right there in front of him! He tried to creep up as silently as he could, watching his prey carefully as it – dropped down in front of him.
Tao pounced, a yowl of delight escaping his lips at catching it and–
"What are you doing?"
-uh. Tao looked up at the upside-down Takeo standing at his doorway. "Yaong?" he said past the mouse in his mouth. He rolled over to spit it out and started to bat it between his hands.
"…I'm burning that," M-21 said.
"What, why?" Tao said, his ears flattening. "It's – uh. Actually, I think you should," he agreed, wincing as he stopped what he was doing. Because, wow, that had tripped his instincts hard.
"Did you buy any catnip?" Tao asked, getting to his feet, retracting his claws, grinning at Takeo as he eyed the remnants of the toy. If that was how he reacted to a toy, Tao didn't want to know how he was going to react to kitty-drugs.
"No," M-21 said, shaking his head.
"Heh, okay, good." Tao made a face. "Now I gotta eat something that washes the taste of wool out my mouth." Yuck.

'Yaong' is the onomatopoeia sound cats make in Korea.
There are already motorised ears that react to your emotions, but Tao would make them ~better~.

Cat!Tao is really adorable. :3;; I discovered I actually hadn't read these yet? 8D;; So I read them all yesterday, and omg, Tao getting petted by Rai (somehow I could see this scene happening very easily). XDDD That was my favorite part. ♥

"They're getting a lot of free reign. 8D;; "
Haaaahaha, yeah, that's a good way of putting it. XD;;
"I just visited the Necomimi site, and whoa, they have horns now too!"
ad;lfkjads 8D omg.
"Cat!Tao is really adorable. :3;;"
He iiiis. 8D He's so much fun to play with. ...Notice how Side Effect started off with at least a semblance of seriousness and now it's all about the crack and non-human instincts. orz;;; Whoops.
"Tao getting petted by Rai "
Bwahaha! <3 omg, I loved that part. 8D
