 A female cat fell in love with a beautiful and young human male.

 However, as a female cat,? she thought it would be impossible to expect love from him in return. Then she asked the goddess Aphrodite:

メスネコとアフロディテ

”Please transfigure me into a human female.”

 Aphrodite felt sorry, and transfigured the cat into a human female.

 Then she said to the cat,

”I can change your figure into a human female, but I cannot change your nature as a cat.

 Do your best to change your nature into the one as a human.”

メスネコとアフロディテ

 The cat replied, “Yes, I will definitely do it.”

 The female cat, whose figure was totally a human female, went out to see the human male.

メスネコとアフロディテ

 As soon as the human male looked at her, he fell in love with her instantly, and took her home. They got married shortly after.



 While they lived together,

 Aphrodite secretly dumped in a mouse to see if the female cat's nature had changed to the one as a human female.

メスネコとアフロディテ

 When she found the mouse, she unconsciously started to chase after the mouse: her nature has not changed at all.

メスネコとアフロディテ

 Aphrodite got angry at this, and transfigured her back into a cat.



 Likewise, even if evil-minded people can change their figure,

 their nature will not usually change so easily.

The end
