When a shy novelist's life intertwines with a stray cat, you'd expect chaos, but what unfolds is a tale of unexpected companionship that tugs at the heartstrings. Our chat with Niba, not just a science content creator but also a cat enthusiast, takes us through the charming anime "My Roommate is a Cat," and we marvel at the therapeutic bonds it portrays. Our talk isn't confined to the world of animation, though; we dive into lively scientific tangents like cicada pee velocity, all while contemplating our connection with the natural world around us.

Have you ever wondered what your pets are thinking? Together with Niba, we muse on the insights "My Roommate is a Cat" provides into our furry friends' minds and discuss the endearing way it captures the essence of human-animal relationships. We reminisce about discovering new media gems and the emotional journey they take us on, including the shared joy and sorrow that pets bring into our lives. It's not all furry tales, as we also reflect on our personal experiences that resonate with the universality of loss, belonging, and the quest for connection.
