My assumption is the person put a shackle so that the cat might get tangled up while in the process of scratching.
The fact that the cat is very chill about it is… interesting. My two cats would absolutely panic and very likely hurt themselves if they were in this boat. Yet this one is just blep.
Character customization is one of my favorite parts of the game. And to be honest dressing up a “hot” woman is more fun than a guy to me.
Also I like looking at a woman more than a man. So there’s that too.
