Cursed Cat Ears

The Cursed Cat Ears is an item brought by Hanako in HSHK Chapter 26.

Appearance
The Cursed Cat Ears is a simple headband with a pair of cat's ears on top of it. One of the ears (The left ear) appears to have 2 piercings on top of it.

History
Hanako brought the Cursed Cat Ears to Tsuchigomori's office, and showed it Tsuchigomori, intending to wear it so that he can do "erotic" things with Nene Yashiro (By "Erotic", he meant being petted and cuddled by her when he is turned into a cat). Tsuchigomori took the Cursed Cat Ears away from Hanako, and warned him of the consequences of using it. But before he can finish his warning, a sleeping Mokke fell on to the Cursed Cat Ears, and thanks to the fall, it accidentally attached itself to Tsuchigomori's head, turning him into a cat.

Tsuchigomori flees his own office as Hanako brandished a knife to "free him", and then he undergoes a lot of ordeals, such as being petted, cuddled and dressed by Nene Yashiro (Which was ironically, Hanako's very goal with the Cursed Cat Ears), with her friend Aoi Akane watching, being bitten by Yako, being fed cat food by Kou Minamoto, and being stared at menacingly by Teru Minamoto, who intended to turn him into a skin for his shamishen.

Finalyl, he escaped to a place outside the school where he meets Sousuke Mitsuba. He tried to run away from him, but Mitsuba admitted that he felt lonely because he had a fight with Tsukasa Yugi, and asked Tsuchigomori if he can stay with him for awhile. Tsuchigomori relents and goes to where Mitsuba is, causing him to pat and cuddle him, and call him "Vivian". Being shocked by this, the effects of the Cursed Cat Ears wear off at such an awkward moment, with Tsuchigomori being on top of Mitsuba's lap. This caused Mitsuba to call him a pervert and Tsuchigomori to defend himself, ending the chapter.

The effects of the Cursed Cat Ears only lasts twelve hours or half a day.

Trivia

 * The Cursed Cat Ears and its ability to turn anyone who wears it into a cat might be a reference to Bakeneko Ryokan Hanakotei, an event set in an alternate universe where the majority of the characters are actually Bakenekos (Monster Cats) that can change between their cat-person form and their cat form.
 * Additionally, Yugi Tsukasa's character in Bakeneko Ryokan Hanakotei is actually a human spirit, who disguises himself in the Ryokan by wearing a headband with cat's ears, similar in appearance to the Cursed Cat Ears item, and a fake tail.
