Zhao Youyue found the ability to morph into a cat interesting. In other words, with such a character in "Dog Days," it would certainly be much fascinating than merely a story with Xia Qingqing. Its popularity might outshine even the male protagonist. Readers would love "Hua Xiaomao," but not "Su Qing."
Cats were living creatures that behaved coldly, under normal circumstances. The rare occasions of their adorable antics only became all the more rewarding, that way. In this era of "Cat slaves," not "Dog slaves," apparently cats were born to be bosses. Countless men devoted themselves as their dung cleaners.
At worst, "Hua Xiaomao" might not make it as high popularity character. However, Zhao Youyue was interested in the experience of being a cat in the novel's world. Would that not be an exciting episode?
