* HilarityEnsues: Much hilarity is to be had from Yayoi's predicament.

* LieDetector: A face mask Yayoi's father invents in chapter 15 serves this purpose, as it SCREAMS the truth when its wearer attempts to lie. [[HilarityEnsues Then Yayoi finds it the next day and wears it to mitigate her hay fever, assuming it's just an ordinary face mask, on her date with Minoru...]]

''Neko-de Gomen!'' (''Sorry, I'm a Cat!'') is a manga released in 1989 by Nagano Akane. Its plot focuses on a OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent named Shiraishi Yayoi as she tries to live a normal life after being turned into a CatGirl by her father's teleporter. Shortly thereafter, the ineffectual MadScientist Kuroda creates a very large Venus fly trap that ends up attacking the city. Seeing this on the news, Yayori's father decides to send her out to fight them as Super Cat Yayoi. [[CrazyEnoughToWork Surprisingly, this works out rather well.]]

** Meiko in chapter 17 privately wishes for more attention to be given to her as she bathes in a unisex hot spring. Unfortunately for her, the ones who pay attention to her are [[DirtyOldMan a group of middle-aged and elderly men]], resulting in her spending the rest of the chapter fending them off.

* AnAesop: [[LampshadeHanging Outright delivered]] by [[LemonyNarrator Nagano Akane]] at the end of Chapter 13.[[explanation]] He shows up at the school Yayoi and Minoru attend, right as Kuroda is selling his "cosmetic surgery gas" invention to students. Not being in the know about this, he's entranced by the sheer number of stunningly beautiful school girls there are and invites them all to a vacant classroom. Before he can do anything with them, however, the side effect of the gas [[spoiler:of causing the user to become much uglier than the user looks originally after some time passes]] kicks in, and he can only [[OhCrap express his justifiable shock]] as he finds himself trapped in a ghoulish-looking setting before he can escape.[[/explanation]]

** Masaru has another epic moment of this at the end of chapter 13.[[explanation]] He shows up at the school Yayoi and Minoru attend, right as Kuroda is selling his "cosmetic surgery gas" invention to students. Not being in the know about this, he's entranced by the sheer number of stunningly beautiful school girls there are and invites them all to a vacant classroom. Before he can do anything with them, however, the side effect of the gas [[spoiler:of causing the user to become much uglier than the user looks originally after some time passes]] kicks in, and he finds himself trapped in a ghoulish-looking setting before he can escape.[[/explanation]]

** Minoru gets this way when Yayoi looks drastically different from her usual (by his expectations, anyway) appearance. Most of the time it's due to [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting her cat ears and tail showing themselves]], but the end of chapter 12 has her doppelgänger robot, on the verge of self-destruction, appearing in BodyHorror fashion.[[note]] In the context of chapter 12, Yayoi has doppelgänger robot pose and go to school as her for the day to avoid the risk of her estrus period showing itself at inopportune times and exposing her CatGirl identity to her peers, especially Minoru. After she wakes up from her nap and her estrus period passes, her father informs her that [[DidntThinkThisThrough the robot, which matches Yayoi's habit and behaviors, also included her sexual arousal period]]. Yayoi presses the self-destruction button on her remote control that she uses to get her robot to function. Unbeknownst to her or her father, said robot happens to be on a date with Minoru at the time, and the self-destruction mechanism causes the eyes of the robot to eventually spring out of the sockets right as Minoru turns to "Yayoi", a bare second before the robot explodes next to him...[[/note]]

* UnnamedParent: We don't know Kuroda (that his family name) or Yayoi's father's first name.

* WeightWoe: Chapter 39 (titled "Fat Girl Yayoi...?") center around Yayoi deciding to lose weight after Minoru tactlessly asks her whether she had gained weight.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Eiko, to Masaru, but it's PlayedForLaughs in that everyone, males and females alike, gives [[CreepyLonerGirl Eiko]] a wide berth around her regardless of whether she's with Masaru or by herself.
