[ul][*]From the beginning Sakuya tended to prefer to be alone and aloof, much like a cat.
[*]She seemed to prefer being a bit higher than the others, watching from above, also like a cat. (Remember in the pre-school she preferred to not play with the kids, but sit on the porch, which put her slightly higher than the other kids. One chapter she was even sitting on the top of the jungle gym by herself.)
[*]When Hina was sick, Sakuya came to see her through the window, on the second floor of the house. Behavior much more cat-like than human-like.
[*]She had the most displeased expression when tasting the umeboshi, and refused to admit the riceballs with umeboshi & mustard leaf tasted good at the end of that chapter. Cats have sensitive taste-buds, and like to be finicky about food.
[*]She hated fireworks, because they were loud and was scared enough by them that she cried during the fireworks show. Hina held her hand to calm her down. A lot of cats are scared of fireworks.
[*]She didn't like water, and hated taking baths.
[*]When she got lost her first inclination was to get up high, and she was apparently surprised that she couldn't see well because it was dark. Cats have much better night vision than humans.[/ul]
