His Identity?

"A cat..?"

Ian tilted his head in confusion as he looked at the person in front of him. 

Flick

His eyes unintentionally went towards the two cat-like ears on top of their head. 

Swish.

And just as unintentionally, it went down towards the tail that was peeking out from behind that person. Since the surrounding was too dark, he couldn't figure out the colour of their hair, but Ian was sure of one thing.

'Someone from the cat tribe?'

"Calling a member of the cat tribe a cat.. Are you making fun of us?"

The guy made a defensive comment right from the start, just like a cat. Ian could imagine them hissing at him if he called them a cat one more time. 

"But aren't you a cat?"

And he did. Playing with stray cats was a favourite pastime of Ian.
