History Manga / AManAndHisCat

* ChickMagnet: Kanda is very charming, even in his old age; as a result, a lot of his female students are attached to him. They get worried when he seems to be obsessed over a new girl, but he explains he adopted a cat and shows photos. The students are more than relieved.

* SilverFox: Kanda's still a pretty good looking guy and his younger female students fawn over him, despite his age.

* AdultFear: The moment where Fukumaru tries climbing a bookshelf during Kanda's piano practice. He at first thinks that "Daddy" will get mad when seeing the [=CDs=] damaged. Nope; Kanda is more worried that Fukumaru might have gotten badly injured. He cuddles him on seeing that his cat wasn't even scratched.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Kanade Hibino, a former rival of Kanda’s, is disgusted with his mother pawning off her unwanted cat onto him. He remembers how his mother once took in a dog he liked and then sent it back because “she wasn’t warming up” to the mother. Still, because he remembers how his mother is and because he does feel bad for the cat, he takes it in.

** Slightly averted with Hibino. He has taken care of a dog when he was a kid before his mother sent it back to the store. He is learning to take care of a cat for the first time, but he seems to be a fast learner.

** Hibino briefly thought Fukumaru’s sister looked ugly when he first took her in due to her flat face. He quickly gets beyond thinking her features her are ugly and starts considering everything about her is adorable.

* DefrostingIceKing: Downplayed with Kanda, who is a NiceGuy but his backstory explains he didn't want to give pets to any animals. His mother pushed him into a piano career and isolated him from people and strays, saying his body was too "precious" to associate with them. Kanda first held a pet when he met Fukumaru at the shelter, and was worried that he wasn't good enough.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Fukumaru spent a very long time in the shelter, watching younger kittens get adopted while he languished alone. As a result, he's happy for ''anyone'' to give him the time of day.
