Sorry, can I ask what Cat's Cradle is in this context?
Seconded..also, homura is a YANDERE.The yandere.
Cat's Cradle is the fic that inspired Meow Quest in the first place.

Not... really. If I've got PMMM canon straight, she loves Madoka but can't bear to be with her in the current timeloop in case it all goes wrong again. Fewer homicidal impulses, more existential horror and angst.
yandere is a scale. she's not an extreme on that scale, but she's on there.

Well... In Rebellion, yes, she is a Yandere.

Otherwise... Not so much. Homura is, at her core, broken. Imagine seeing all your friends die, your city burn, everything you've ever loved and lived for annihilated in the blink of an eye.

But then, presto! YOU have the power to go back in time and change all that! So you go back, your heart full of hope, and you try. And fail. And try again. And fail again. Try try try fail fail fail, no matter what you do... You fail. And everyone you love just... Dies. Sayaka always dies. Mami might die, or might not die. Kyoko might die, might not die.

And Madoka, the dear dear girl from your first timeline always. Dies. You can't stop it. You try, you try so very very hard but every time you just watch her die.

You have to kill her, one loop. You have to kill her because you're so WEAK and FOOLISH and-

You cut yourself off. You eliminate everything that's extraneous, sever any and all connections to the girls you once called friends. You kill your heart, you kill the young girl who used to be Akemi Homura and become Akemi Homura, the girl on a mission. You go back further in time, prevent Madoka from contracting, because if she contracts, she dies, and your mission is to prevent at least Madoka from dying you don't care about the perfect ending now it's a foolish dream anyways just please oh please oh God oh God please let Madoka at the very least survive, I don't care if I die please let her survive pleasepleaseplease-

You try so very hard, to kill your heart. But you can't. You can't. You're weak and you're foolish and you can't abandon these attachments that don't exist anymore even though you should because the mission, the mission you wished for, that's all that matters, to see her smile again-

Akemi Homura is, at her core... Broken. And it's just so, so sad. I wouldn't even call her a Yandere, she's that level of messed up. Part of it's because the wish she made broke her, part of it is because... Maybe she was already broken from the start, like a clock in disrepair.

...

But this is Meow Quest, we don't talk about depressing shit like this. Someone change the subject immediately.

Just thought I'd share this. It's how I see Homu-kitty dealing with anyone who thinks they get to be best kitty/Madoka's pet.

[x] Yay, PinkGold Girl! I missed you so much!
Yay! It's PinkGold Girl! She's bright and soft, just like Pink Girl! You cheer at her arrival!

'I missed you so much!' you mewl at her as she gives you ear scritchies.

"Aw," she smiles down at you, "I missed you too, kitty. You're like Homura, only fluffier and not killy."

"Hey," PurpleBlack Girl appears, frowning in displeasure, "Madoka, please don't compare me to my feline iteration. We are vastly different."

"Aw, don't be like that, Homura-chan," Madoka giggles playfully at PurpleBlack Girl.

[x] Hug PinkGold Girl.
You try and hug PinkGold Girl with your tiny kitty legs, but they aren't long enough! So you just cling to the front of her shirt. But she hugs you, yay!

[x] ...Pet me, please?
'Pet me, please?' you look up beseechingly at PinkGold Girl.

"Of course," she gently gives you pets. Yay! Yay! Feels nice. You purr to let her know.

"Okay, kitty," PurpleBlack Girl walks over, and runs her finger down your back, "It won't be easy to save your Madoka, but from one Homura to another, I suppose I could lend you a hand."

Lend a hand? Oh, like for pets? You like pets.

"I can send you assistance in the form of another Magical Girl," she continues, "or as a physical asset you can use."

Physical asset? What's that mean? You don't know, pets more important.

PurpleBlack Girl sighs, "Okay, look, do you want a friend or do you want to control The Red Dot?"

The Red Dot? You can control it? It's almost too good to be true!
Oh, but a friend. You like friends! They pet you!
Oh, the indecision hurts your little kitty brain! You snuggle close to PinkGold Girl for comfort while you make this hardest of decisions.

Hello, what's this?
"I can send you assistance in the form of another Magical Girl," she continues, "or as a physical asset you can use."

Bleach, I see what you're doing here.

[jk] I want to give madoka the grey ball I had before.

Get Puppy girl in here already!

Because honestly I want to try to see Amura try to explain the new magical girl randomly showing up.
 
[X] The Red Dot control! - I'm quite curious really.

Have we even been in a situation where we haven't had someone at hand to pet us? Think we already have the ability to be pat whenever we please.

I'm MORE curious about what random girl is going to appear.
Also I imagine someone non-best cat Homura sends us will uh, help us focus more on our actual goal. Next stop, fluffy ending.
 
The Red Dot, it calls to me...

But Best Cat needs Best Friends...
