Neko-gami-sama is a cat-like creature that often stays inside vending machines to warm the drinks to "body temperature". He sometimes uses mysterious powers to play tricks on Mesousa, such as dropping him into a hole appearing out of nowhere. Lord Cat almost always ends his sentences with the phrase "-desu nya". "Nya" is Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes (hence he actually says "Meow" in the English translation). In each episode Lord Cat is shown with his fur a different color and in the final episode there is a scene where he is constantly changing colors. When he is unable to watch the vending machines, he will ask others to step in for him until his return. Mesousa did this in one episode in the anime. Lord Cat has a younger brother that looks nearly identical to him who appears once late in the anime. He bears a resemblance to Chiyo's "Father" in Azumanga Daioh, and might even be a parody of him.
