Description
The President is the head of the company where the protagonist worked as an ordinary salaryman before his reincarnation into a cat, and he later becomes the cat's owner after finding the animal on the street and naming it Pun-chan. In the workplace he carries the reputation of a stern and intimidating figure, and his strict personality keeps employees at a distance. That public image, however, conceals a private fondness for cute things that emerges the moment he lays eyes on the small cat.
This contrast defines his personality. At home he is completely smitten with Pun-chan, showering the cat with devoted attention and behaving like an enthusiastic pet owner. His affection goes so far that he composes original songs for the cat and even uses a password connected to Pun-chan on his personal computer. Despite this, he deliberately keeps the fact that he owns a cat, and the cat's charming name, a secret from the office out of pride in his professional standing. His colleagues nonetheless notice a change in him, and it becomes whispered around the workplace that he seems younger and more refreshed since adopting the cat.
His central motivation is a genuine love of cute things, which he expresses freely only within the privacy of his home. Caring for Pun-chan brings warmth into his daily routine and gives him an outlet for an affectionate side he otherwise hides. At the same time, his bond with the cat occasionally reveals a softer, more vulnerable aspect of his character beneath the confident company-president exterior.
Within the story he serves as the anchor of the protagonist's new life as a house cat. As the resident of the household where Pun-chan lives, he is the primary human figure in the everyday episodes, and much of the comedy comes from the gap between his stern public persona and his gushing private behavior. His relationship with Pun-chan is the emotional center of the household: he treats the cat as a beloved companion, while Pun-chan, who recognizes him as the former boss, responds with a mixture of respect, gratitude, and bemusement at the President's over-the-top displays of affection.
His key relationships extend beyond the cat. He lives in the same apartment building as a novelist known as Itoyanagi-sensei, and the two men come to know each other through their cats, with the animals acting as a bridge between the neighboring households. He is also close enough to his nephew to follow the suggestion to create a dedicated social media account for posting photos of Pun-chan, showing that his fondness for the cat has become a genuine part of his personal life.
Over the course of the story he develops from what initially seems like a one-dimensional stern boss into a more rounded figure. Living with Pun-chan brings out his warmth, softens his guarded demeanor in private, and gives his life a lightness that his employees would hardly recognize. His growth is shown not through dramatic changes but through the everyday accumulation of affectionate moments with the cat, through which his hidden gentle side becomes steadily more visible.
His most notable traits are not supernatural abilities but rather his professional capability as a company president, his creative way of expressing affection, and his ability to keep his private life separate from his public image. He commands authority in business, yet devotes remarkable energy to spoiling his cat, inventing little songs, and documenting Pun-chan's daily life. This combination of professional competence and private softness defines his place in the series and drives much of its humor.
