Chainsmoker Cat Mini Anime Episode 13: She Blows the Money on Cigarettes Again

On July 26, Chainsmoker Cat's official channel uploaded Mini Anime Episode 13. Across 512 comments, the top reply (901 likes) sums up the whole thing as an ending you could see coming from a mile away.

From there, the comment section spent most of its energy on the family absorbing the fallout — plus a running appreciation for how shamelessly the show wedges in its "she hasn't done anything wrong" catchphrase every single time.

It ends on the bar the thread has settled for at this point: not getting evicted counts as a win.

On July 26, the official channel behind Chainsmoker Cat (Yani Neko) uploaded Mini Anime Episode 13, and the 512-comment section under it wasn't really debating any twist — because there wasn't one. The short does exactly what everyone expected going in: the family's chain-smoking cat gets her hands on a little spending money, skips paying anything toward rent or the household, and blows it all on cigarettes again while insisting she hasn't done anything wrong. The top comment (901 likes) sums up the entire viewing experience in a single line.

From there, most of the thread wasn't really about her at all — it was about everyone else quietly cleaning up in her wake. The people footing the emotional and financial bill are, as always, her family, and commenters kept circling back to how one-sided that arrangement has become.

Even the show's own comic engine got a round of applause. Every episode leans on the same defense — she hasn't technically done anything wrong — and the thread has clearly started watching for exactly how forced the line gets wedged in each time.

The financial specifics got picked apart too. Commenters worked out that she does actually hold down part-time work — the problem was never that she's unemployed, it's that every bit of that income evaporates the moment cigarettes are within reach, leaving nothing for rent, food, or the utilities everyone else is quietly covering.

• “The thing you should be holding back on isn't the heat — it's the cigarettes.”👍434⇄お前が我慢すべきは暑さじゃなく煙草だろ— @yy-fdggvvs · 👍434
• “The second Chainsmoker Cat gets her hands on any money, you can already see the cigarette purchase coming — lol.”👍165⇄ヤニねこがお金を持った時点でタバコ買うのが目に見えるの草— @itoito6597 · 👍165

By the end, the sympathy had fully shifted to the people around her — the mother and sister absorbing the fallout, and by extension the landlord who's been letting all of it slide for thirteen episodes running now. Nobody in the thread seemed to expect that pattern to break, either; the appeal at this point isn't hoping she'll change, it's watching exactly how the family keeps forgiving her anyway.

• “I want to say buy food before cigarettes, lol. Also, pay the electric bill.”👍120⇄タバコ買うよりまず食料買えと言いたいですwww それに電気代もね— @ブラッディ沙都子 · 👍120
• “I guess technically not committing an actual crime just to get cigarettes does mean she hasn't done anything wrong.”👍23⇄タバコほしさに犯罪に手を染めないあたり、確かに悪いことはしてない— @こうめ-s1v · 👍23

Which is roughly where the thread landed on the whole show, in one deadpan line: at this point, surviving another episode without getting kicked out is about the closest thing to an achievement she has.
