Kittens everywhere!

It wasn't unlike Jiro to show up late to the party. He had only been drawn to the center of the bamboo by the growing volume of voices. What were the others doing without him? Intent to be included in the commotion, Jiro moves in that awkward growing puppy manner toward where everyone congregated.

At first, he doesn't notice the kittens when he first emerges from the path. Not until he steps on a tail and is quickly scratched and hissed at. Letting out a whimper and then a sharp bark at the kitten, Jiro is quickly covered by kittens who thought his vocals were an invitation to play.

"Get 'em offa me!" Jiro whines, plopping down onto his side as the kittens continue to clamber all over him. One in particular, a dark coated and silver spotted boy wanders over to his face and decides to sit right atop of his cheek. Looking up from the ground at the kitten who perches over his face, Jiro's own brow scrunches. "Well, I guess you're cute, but this ain't comfy," he grumbles quietly as he resigns to becoming a statue as he continues to be taken over by the surplus of felines.
