but cats have a shorter lifesan than humans don't they?
loved the story, but am a bit sad that iruka didn't get his body back again.

i love this story

so funny

Honestly ? This story, along with sharpening iron and not till the paperwork is done, are the best I've read in a looong while, and one of the very best I've read during all my years on fanfiction (7 and half years approximatively)! I normally don't review, but I felt like I should at the very least thank you and let you know how greatly I appreciated and enjoyed reading some of your fictions (I'm still going through them) also, I love cats so much, and I have a photo of two cats jumping in the air and they fit the description of cat-iruka perfectly, being small brown and tan tabby cats with brown eyes!
What I liked most about your stories is that your storytelling is smooth, with the right amount of unexpected humor and a perfect understanding of the characters involved. I also like Iruka a lot and think that his character is underexplored weither in the anime or in most fictions. You do him justice. Your plots are also very good.
As far as I can see on your profile, you've not been active since 2014. I hope you're okay, and I seriously hope that you keep writing awesome stuff !

OMG ToT THIS ENDING SERIOUSLY MADE ME SAD! I wanted everything to work out perfectly and Iruka to regain his human form but... this is okay too (blows nose). Good work and thanks for writing!

Honestly I kinda hate you right now, sorry. I'm seriously crying and I don't know why this ending hurt so much. Maybe because I hoped that Iruka would go back to his old body or maybe his body with the addition of cat ears and tail. Either way this was very well written and you have many creative ideas. Keep on writing!

Now wouldn't it ironic if this story had 9 chapters.

This story was genius! Pure genius, for sure. I loved it so much, and the ending was so bittersweet that for five minutes I completely forgot that this is /fanfiction/, and that the "real" Iruka is still very much human.

Good job!

This is so amazing and lighthearted but also really kinda sad. Still, talking cat!Iruka is ADORABLE!

Amusing story even if it's really sad that Iruka remained a cat, but at least he still have his mind and found a way to do his job. The operation was a great show of co-opération between ninja and show how much Iruka was respected and appreciated. I was amused by the car jokes.

I won't lie the idea that Iruka would become nincat did occur to mw but I didn't think you'd go through with it. Overall nice story even if the ending wasn't quite the happy ever after I had expected.

So, *that* stays the same then? ah, well, at least he seems more used to it now... and he has his mind back... xD Ahaha! The cat puns were amusing. Wow. xD
neat story.

Very cool story. Great job!

Aww, poor Iruka will remain in cat form forever! Probably makes him wish he had transformed into a fiercer creature! Lol...great comedic timing! Love Iruka's interactons with the ninken, especially Bull. I think to the Sandaime's credit, they should have come up with the Yamanaka solution earlier. Love how you envisioned Iruka's inner mind "cat"egorized as volumes within trees...very picturesque, especially when Kakashi is brained by a book! Also loved the scene where Miya gets Iruka to make a full of himself! Overall, it was a fun fic. Thanks for sharing!

Wait, what? You kept Iruka a cat? O.O...Did not see that one coming...Still, it was a really funny and interesting story, and I thought you wrote it pretty well. :) I hope you decide to write more fics about Iruka and keep up the great work!
