Overview
The Black Cat is an NPC that appears on the Mall Rooftop.
When Madotsuki enters the area, it is randomly found in one of three positions on the rooftop.
It is commonly seen sitting atop the door well or on the rooftop air conditioners on the left, but there is a 1 in 64 chance that it may be found to the right of the doorway on the floor.
It doesn't move around when Madotsuki is in the area, but every 20 seconds or so it will wash itself with its tongue.
Interaction
It makes a meowing noise when interacted with, but only when it can be reached on the floor level.
It exhibits all the standard reactions to the Cat, Traffic Light, and (when it can be reached) the Knife effect.
Trivia
- When the Knife effect is held, its red eyes turn pink.
- In traditional western folklore, black cats are associated with witches. This is a subtle clue given by KIKIYAMA that the Witch effect has a special function in the area; namely the Witch's Flight event.
- It can also be speculated that it is inspired by the witch partner cat Jiji in the Studio Ghibli animation Kiki's Delivery Service.
- Following the idea of witches, there's the topic of 'familiars', or essentially the guardian angel for a witch. It's extremely possible that the black cat is possibly Madotsuki's familiar in a sense.
- The Black Cat has the same chance of appearing to the right of the doorway as the Uboa event happening - they both have a 1 in 64 chance.
