“The Cat” is officially a Round 3 Qualifier for the Open Novella Contest 2026! 
          	
          	I'm genuinely happy to share this milestone with everyone supporting the story so far.
          	
          	Not only that, but seeing the story reach 178 total reads honestly means a lot to me. Maybe the readership isn't always consistent, but I'm grateful to everyone who stayed and continued reading until where the story currently stands.
          	
          	I will continue to work on the story and hope to share it with you all soon.
          	
          	See you around, Readers!

Hello, and I'm sorry to be the one to give you the bad news.
          
          Your book, along with many others, has been stolen and posted on Google Play Books:
          https://play.google.com/store/books/details/P4GE_The_Cat_ONC_2026?id=1bHeEQAAQBAJ&hl=en
          
          It seems several of us are in the same boat. My partner and I just filed a DMCA takedown notice with Google. If we all report these fake editors, the procedure could trigger their repeat infringer policy and get the accounts terminated much faster.

@valkyr17 Thank you so much for letting me know about this! I really appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I'll try to submit a report on my end as well and look into what actions I can take.
            Again, I'm really really thankful!

With just a day to spare, “The Cat” has been resubmitted for Round 3 of ONC 2026.
          
          The story isn’t finished yet—and honestly, it’s far from its final form. Major revisions will come after the contest, especially since editing during the judging phase isn’t allowed. So for now, I’ll be working quietly behind the scenes.
          
          On a personal note, I hit a new PR:
          20,060 words in a single story.
          And it’s still growing.
          
          See you around, Readers.
