Soon after meeting them, Haru and Muta are forcefully taken to the Cat Kingdom, leaving Toto and the Baron in the human world to follow the group from the air they find the entrance to the Cat Kingdom on Earth: five lakes forming a cat's paw. Muta leads her there to meet Baron Humbert von Gikkingen (the same Baron from Whisper of the Heart), who is a cat figurine given life by the work of his artist, and Toto, a stone raven who comes to life much like the Baron. Wanting none of this, Haru hears a kind, female voice, which tells her to seek out Muta, a large white cat and to get directions to the Cat Bureau from him. As a thanks, the cats give Haru gifts of catnip and mice, and she is offered the Prince's hand in marriage. The cat she saved turns out to be Lune, Prince of the Cat Kingdom. One day, she saves a cat from being hit by a truck on a busy road. Haru Yoshioka is a shy but noble high school student who has a suppressed ability to talk with cats.
