One thing he likes to say is, “Because I’m precious”. The tone is dead serious, at least that’s how I felt it was.

The ML has never been able to touch a wild animal before the MC, a golden retriever (?) puppy he hugged as a child struggled so much in his arms it snapped its own neck and every other animal, baby and small children were extremely frightened of him. So, the ML’s heart was warmed by the MC and his spoiling became a means to tame the MC and make him never want to leave the ML. When the MC scratched the ML hard enough to draw blood, the ML didn’t snap his neck like he would instinctively do, when the ML saw the MC getting violent instead of thinking to kill the MC like he normally would’ve done he thought of either leasing or caging him to his side or letting him go. But since the MC apologised and acknowledge his wrong, as much as a cat can, and knowing that if he forcefully bound the MC to his side the MC will never be as affectionate as before, the ML chose to spoil him to he point of giving an Imperial heirloom gemstone just for his collar.

At one point while he was acting spoilt around the ML he was thinking to the ML to come with him back to South Korea once his curse is lifted and he can go home. He even promised to give him his favourite Cartier watch and the new sports car his grandfather promised to give him as a present for getting into college. It might seem superficial but the tone was sincere and completely and utterly adorable. The MC is vain and narcisstic but he isn’t superficial, he does value the things he like sincerely and treats his family members well. He isn’t shallow, he’s rather considerate at times and his actions are usually quite sincere and honest. He returns the kindness of the ML and doesn’t take advantage of him, it has a give and take vibe, a mutual relationship between them unlike in some novels where the ML is always giving and chasing after the MC.

He literally beat another cat up for being ugly and in the same room as him. What kind of mafia lord was he in his past life? He acted a tiny bit less spoiled after turning into a human, but that was probably just fear of the ML punishing him.

Every time he sees a woman, he rates them out of 100 points in their attractiveness and refuses to be attended to by anyone ugly. He even insinuates that he grabs and licks women's breasts and they're fine with it. What the hell?

One time he got lost because of his own foolishness then started to claw at ML because he arrived too late in saving him. He's a crown prince. He has other duties to do. He's not your servant. His job isn't to grovel at your feet and do all your bidding whenever you ring for him. Another time, the MC got mad because the ML called another cat by name and clawed at the ML while wailing for the ML to call him by his name too. At the same time, he can't tell the ML his real name and refuses to be called any other names. The MC even got mad at the ML for something that happened in his dreams.
