I’m just so happy that this weird little guy showed up at your house smelling bad and looking kinda funky and you picked him up and said “you live here now and we love you” and he went “okay :) yay” i hope one day i can help a cat like you helped catrick
this thing broke into my second story bedroom window and screamed at me if I didn't let him in. I had no choice. I love him so much
I love that in one Juju Stroll (episode 20), Yuji is indecisive about whether he's a cat or dog person.
It's something that makes sense with his character because Yuji is both.
His last name is a medical herb that is also called "tiger cane" and his nickname from back home is "Tiger of West Junior High". Nobara's icon for him (see in episode 6 of season 2) is a tiger.
Also, just throwing in there, those markings under Yuji's eyes remind me of those markings that be under a tiger's eyes.
Then there's a white wolf resembling Yuji.
Yuji pets the white Divine Dog when Megumi summons it and dies the same day as it. Later, he's envisioned as a white wolf in his final confrontation with Mahito.
