TV anime "Chainsmoker Cat" released episode 17 of its mini-anime series via its official X account. It depicts the smell of Yanineko's (voiced by Yuko Natsuyoshi) feet, sending fans into a frenzy.
The video, posted with the caption "Hame's gonna sniff it too~!", features Yanineko and Hameneko (voiced by Yurie Funato). Yanineko dives headfirst into what looks like a pile of laundry Hameneko had just brought in, purring happily, "Ahh, the smell of freshly washed laundry, I can't get enough~." Hameneko protests, "Hey~! You'll get fur all over it! Come on, you sneaky beastfolk!" — yet she then picks up a sock herself, saying "Hame's gonna sniff it too~!", and takes a whiff... only to find it was a sock Yanineko had discarded. Naturally, Hameneko "ascends to heaven"... The episode comically captures a slice of the characters' everyday life.
