Kitty: Huanyan

No one has ever got a good look at this cat named Huanyan. It spends all day sitting in a palanquin carried by mice, ambling through the Nowhere Bazaar on its "stroll". After all, the point of a stroll isn't walking yourself, it's seeing the sights along the way yourself!

They say Huanyan was once a little cat who liked to stroll on its own paws too, in a coat of snow-white, puffy fluff, eating wherever it went, its mouth covered in fragrant flaky pastry crumbs.

But now and then Huanyan would hear people talking about it: was it really a cute, chubby little cat, or just a lot of puffy fluff?

Hmph! Every day, to get the freshest treats, it had to run back and forth through the Nowhere Bazaar several times over. How could it possibly be a chubby little cat?

Yet whenever someone chuckled and reached out to pat it and find out for sure, Huanyan would twist away and dodge them.

Huanyan's fluff became an unsolved mystery. Guesses about its true figure even made it onto the gambling tables, with busybodies betting on the answer.

Unhappy that people kept gossiping about it, Huanyan hid in an empty sedan chair in an alley and dozed off. Swaying and rocking, Huanyan groggily opened its eyes, only to find itself being carried by four little mice, right back in the Nowhere Bazaar.

"Oh!" One of the Treasure-Bearing Mice stared in surprise at the cat's head poking out of the sedan chair. "So the Cat Boss was riding in the chair. Me didn't even notice."

Huanyan was very pleased with this answer and never wanted to get down again. It would have these Treasure-Bearing Mice carry it all over Weiyang City, and tell every busybody who ever doubted it:

It had said so all along: it's just fluffy.
