“But why do I need to make friends when I have ALL THESE CATS”

In the “Omedetou Chistmas” intro, Minako says “Everyone gather round. Hey, even you, Artemis!”

Even only in audio, they’re so in character.

Mamoru, don’t lie like that to the cats.

Artemis is basically Minako’s single father, partner in crime, and conscience all rolled into one small fluffy body.

“finally”

“Well, yeah, I always ask my cat what he thinks of my outfit. He’s the only true unbiased opinion on the matter.”

“Sorry. Yes. I get those mixed up sometimes in my head.”

That one time Mamoru offered to go out for drinks with a cat

Artemis is just trying to be politically correct. We all know that Artemis is Mina’s owner.

It’s times like this the Senshi are glad that their cat has a vested interest in historical literature.
