Warning This section contains spoilers, especially information from episodes 11, 12, and 13. Expand to read.
In episode 13 it is revealed that he's actually human, and that his visual agnosia makes him perceive everyone as animals. This enables him to recognize people in situations where others see little more than a generic human silhouette, as seen in episode 8 during Gouriki's quiz. The flip-side is that he's visibly worried about whether his black cat is really a cat or a person that, like the Missing High School Girl, looks like a black cat – hence his efforts to hide her from visitors.
