Mr. Cat

Mr. Cat is the dance teacher at the academy that all of the main characters attend. He is quite literally a cat, and he likes to threaten marriage to the girls as punishment for misbehaving in class. His demeanor appears to come from a Japanese fairy tale about a cat that similarly threatens marriage to beautiful, young girls. He also appears to be the only animal in the manga. In the anime, Mr. Cat constantly threatens to force Duck into marriage for her lateness to class and lack of concentration and practice. However, as it is in his nature to propose to most females (save for goats and sloths) for marriage, it can't really be said he singles her out. In fact, in one part of the anime, Mr. Cat even counsels Duck when she is unsure of her abilities to help Mytho (without knowing the actual situation), so it can't be said Mr. Cat picks on Duck due to dislike. He is one of the only anthropomorphized characters in the manga, and plays a similar role as in the anime
