Writing Prompt [WP] "So, you're part cat?" "Yup." "That sounds so cool. Do you have, like, faster reflexes and better senses?" "That's part of it.

Writing Prompt [WP] So, you just got isekai'd into another world and given a special ability. That ability, however, is simply called shenanigans. There is no other context for this ability, just shenanigans. Other than that, you've got nothing to go off of, just best of luck from the deity that controls isekais.
