This is arranged in troupe character order, but in terms of the timeline, it's probably Muku > Yuki > Kazunari > Tenma.

Back Stage Story
—Getting Into Character

— Tenma Sumeragi: Mike
Tenma: Mike is Tama's brother, right. Communication between fellow cats is ——
Izumi: That's right. When cats gather, they seem to be having conversations......
Itaru: I'm back. ......Hm? Are you discussing how to prepare for the role?
Tenma: Yeah. I've played lots of roles up until now, but this is my first time playing a cat.
Itaru: I see. Then you should try playing 'Meowcadia' too, Tenma.
Tenma: 'Meowcadia'? What's that?
Itaru: It's a cat raising game. You take care of your own cat, talk to it, and go to your friend cats' places to play.
Izumi: Now that you mention it, I feel like I've heard about that game from Muku-kun, too.
Itaru: Yeah, because I recommended it to Muku as well. He said they were cute and got into it immediately. That way of getting into things might mean he's got potential as a gamer.
Izumi: Muku-kun's getting more and more poisoned by Itaru-san......
Tenma: A game, huh. Worthless.
Itaru: At least try it out before you say that. You might get surprisingly invested in it?
Tenma: I'm busy, so I'm not the type to get into that sort of thing.

Tenma: I've finished the script check, so I suppose I'll sleep soon......Oh, yet another LIME message......What on earth is it.
Kazunari: Look, Tenten! Doesn't this kitty stamp look just like Mike!? It's super cute!
Tenma: Say, how many is he going to send! Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it; I'll just answer him somehow —— Honestly. ......But did he download this stamp to match with our play this time? Speaking of which, that app Itaru-san mentioned back then was......Meowcadia, I think? ......Well, it'll serve as a time waster. I'll try installing it.

Tenma: —— The setting for 'My Cat'? The name......Mike should do.
Yuki: ......Hmm, so you're playing it too. And the name's even Mike.
Tenma: *jumps away* !? Don't call out so suddenly from behind! And don't peek!
Yuki: You were mumbling away on your own, so I wondered what you were doing. Why don't you hurry and save your settings? Don't you know how to choose an avatar?
Tenma: S-Shut up! Don't look! Say, how do you know? Are you playing too?
Yuki: I guess. The avatars and items are pretty cute.
Tenma: Hmm......I'm just playing it to kill time.
Yuki: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't really asking. Work hard.

Muku: Tenma-kun, good morning!
Tenma: Yeah, good morning.
Muku: I heard from Yuki-kun that you've started Meowcadia too! Have you already given him breakfast this morning?
Tenma: No, not yet. Speaking of which, did you have to feed the cats in that game?
Muku: That's right, I was just about to feed them now. Ah, umm, can I send you a......friend cat request?
Tenma: I guess......How do you do it? —— Ahh, you press here. I see.

Tenma: ......That's right, it's almost time to feed Mike. I'll feed Mike first......Oh, a new item. Next I might go visit Muku's cat. It can't be helped, so I'll go to Yuki's too ——

Igawa: Tenma-kun, good work! Then I'll see you tomorrow!
Tenma: Yeah. Sigh, taking photos over such a long distance really is tiring. I haven't able to open the app at all since this morning —— !? W-What? There's a skull and crossbones mark over Mike's head?

Tenma: Itaru-san! It's a disaster!!
Itaru: Hmm? What?
Tenma: Mike is......!
Itaru: ......Ahh......
Tenma: O-Oi......Can't you do something!?
Itaru: It's too late already. ......I can't help.
Tenma: That's......N-No way......!
Itaru: It's a shame, but ——

Muku: I'm back. Wait, Tenma-kun? What's wrong!?
Tenma: Muku, my Mike is......!
Muku: Eh!? What happened to Mike-kun —— ......Ah, it's got a skull and crossbones over its head. It's okay, Tenma-kun. This means the cat is dirty, so you can put it in the bath.
Tenma: Eh? T-The bath? What......That surprised me......
Muku: Here, now it's all clean! He'll perk up soon.
Itaru: Huh? You told him already? Boring.
Tenma: ~~ngh! You're really a horrible adult!

 

— Yuki Rurikawa: Shiro
Omi: I'm going to brew coffee, but will you all drink?
Azuma: Thanks, can I have some?
Yuki: Mm, if it's a caffè latte I'll have some too.
Izumi: Then me too —— 
Azuma: Isn't that your phone, Director?
Izumi: It is. ......Ah, it's a 'Meowcadia' notification. It's feeding time.
Omi: 'Meowcadia' is that app everyone's been using lately, is it? So you were on it too.
Tsumugi: Itaru-kun spread it around. That's his presentation strength for you.
Yuki: It was probably a far more enjoyable presentation for him than work, though.
Izumi: Erm, I'll give this......
Yuki: Ugh. You're still at that level?
Izumi: You're about here too, right, Yuki-kun? We started together just earlier.
Yuki: Huh? No way. —— See, here's my cat.
Izumi: Eh!? Its level is over twice as high as mine......!? Why!?
Yuki: It's not really anything special. I just kept at it between practice and making costumes.
Izumi: On top of that, even your avatar is gorgeously cute......
Yuki: Of course it is. Don't you feel sorry for your cat, having an avatar like that?
Izumi: Urk......B-But that's something you paid for, right?
Yuki: Unlike that sham elite, I'm a proponent of not paying for picture data.
Izumi: Urghh......To have this as a free player......
Azuma: It's true. Yuki's cat is wearing cute clothes. Did you coordinate it yourself?
Yuki: Yup. The accessories and small items are paired together according to my tastes.
Omi: Ohh, as expected of you. Can you send me a screenshot later? I'd like to use it as a reference for a woollen felt toy.
Yuki: That's fine, but make it cute.
Azuma: I think the Director's cat is cute too.
Omi: Yeah, it's got that 'simple is best' feel, which I think is good.
Izumi: The two of you supported me kindly, but rather, my chest hurts......
Omi: Haha, sorry.

Yuki: I'm back. ......Hm?
Kazunari: It's seriously super cute! I'm gonna go pick up the Director's cat after.
Tsuzuru: No, there's no pick up function!
Muku: This item's really cute, too.
Izumi: Yeah, this is one of my favourites too.
Itaru: Have you realised the charm of this too, Director? Shall I tell you more?
Izumi: Please don't display your business skills with this sort of thing......—— Say, ah! Yuki-kun, Yuki-kun! Come here!
Yuki: Why are you so excited......I'm kind of got a bad feeling about this.
Izumi: Look! I got a ton of avatars!
Yuki: ......They truly are cute. These weren't paid items, right.
Izumi: I'm an adult, so I solved the issue with money.
Yuki: Huh? Honestly......Conversely, it's not mature at all.
Izumi: Eek......But they're cute!
Kazunari: Director, you're truly an adult woman!
Itaru: Welcome to the paid swamp ——
Tsuzuru: My, my......Do things in moderation, okay?
Muku: It's nice being an adult......! I want to become a capable adult like Itaru-san and the Director too......!
Yuki: You don't have to learn that sort of thing.

— Muku Sakisaka: Nora
Banri: —— Alriiight, a rare item dropped.
Itaru: Seriously. It's not coming to me. Since it's come to this, by the buying power of the magical card......
Muku: ......Sigh.
Banri: Hmm? What's wrong, Muku?
Itaru: Are you lovesick or something?
Muku: How can I understand a cat's feelings......
Banri: Huh?
Itaru: Who'd have thought he'd be lovesick over a cat.
Banri: No, that's not it.
Muku: If I understand a cat's feelings, I thought I'd be able to get more into character......
Banri: Now that you mention it, the Summer Troupe's play has cat ears this time, doesn't it.
Itaru: I see. If that's the case, it's gotta be this app.
Banri: Hm? What's that? 『Meowcadia』?
Itaru: It's a cat raising game. You can teach it words and talk to it, and pat it like this and pamper it.
Muku: Wow, the cat's moving......!
Banri: So you play this sort of fancy game too, Itaru-san.
Itaru: There are no walls between genres in games.
Cat in the app: 『Taruchi, nice work~』.
Banri: Even its manner of speech is just like yours.
Muku: To be able to talk to cats......! Awesome!
Itaru: How about it? With this, you'll be able to understand a cat's feelings a bit, won't you?
Muku: Yes! I'll try it! Thank you!
Banri: For real.
Muku's cat: 『Hello, Muku-kun! What shall we play today~?』
Muku: Hehe, you're cute. That's right, I'll show this to Juu-chan after.
Citron: Muku! That looks kind of fun.
Muku: Yes. I'm talking to a cat right now.
Citron. Oh, Meowcadia, huh! I know it. It's a sordid love drama game about high society cats.
Muku: Ehh!? I-It develops into that sort of thing!?
Citron: Sorry, just joking.
Muku: T-That shocked me......
Citron: You kitty is very cute! Can I cuddle it?
Muku: Yes, go ahead!
Yuki: So that's where you were, Muku. Come here for a moment. I'd like to confirm the sleeve length on your costume.
Muku: Ah, sure! Sorry, I'm going for a bit!
Muku's cat: 『Cuddles make me happy~♪』
Citron: *serious face* ......

Muku: Juu-chan! Um, there's something I want to show you —— ......Huh?
Juza: What is it.
Muku: I don't have my phone ——
Citron: Muku! You forgot your phone.
Muku: Ah, that's right! Thank you, Citron-san! Juu-chan, look, look! This app ——
Muku's cat: 『Hey hey, brother!』 [T/N: orig. an informal greeting between gamblers]
Muku: Eh!?
Juza: !?
Muku's cat: 『You there, shaddup!』
Muku: W-What's happening all of a sudden......!?
Citron: I taught it some lines from a heroic movie I've been into lately! Cool, isn't it.
Muku: M-My cat is...!
Juza: Citron-san. Come here for a second.
Citron: Noo! Heroic Juza-san is currently full of intensity!

— Kazunari Miyoshi: Kuro
Izumi: I'm back.
Kazunari: Welcome backapple~♪ Ah, wanna take a photo with me, Director?
Izumi: A photo?
Kazunari: Yeah yeah! I thought I might be able to understand a cat's feelings~ So I'm using the cat filter on SMOW right now~ Snap snap! Oh, this looks good! If I upload this, it might get 1000 likes!?
Izumi: As always, you're head's full of SNS......
Kazunari: Ah, Taks, good timing! Hey hey, wanna take a photo together!?
Tasuku: Huh? What's this all of a sudden.
Kazunari: I'm about to upload cat filter photos onto Insta. Make no mistake, if you're in them they'll get more likes!
Tasuku: I refuse.
Kazunari: Don't be so strict! I'll take one where you look really hot!
Izumi: Ah, speaking of cats, Kazunari-kun, aren't you playing 'Meowcadia'?
Kazunari: 'f course, I'm super into it! Here, look, look!
Kazunari's cat: 『Kazu, nice one~♪ Let's keep up the good vibes today~!』
Kazunari: Nice, nice, let's get hyped!
Izumi: It's exactly like you......
Tasuku: It's Miyoshi......
Kazunari: Can I send you a friend cat request, Director? Taks, you play too!
Kazunari's cat: 『Play with me~♪』

Kazunari: Then, you guys come to my room!
Muku: Okay!
Yuki: Yeah, yeah.
Tsumugi: Huh? Yuki-kun aside, aren't you sharing a room with Kazu-kun, Muku-kun?
Kazunari: No no! When we're talking about rooms, we mean the rooms in 『Meowcad』!
Muku: Apparently there's a function where you can go to play in your friend cats' rooms, so we thought we'd try it out.
Tasuku: That app again, huh......
Tsumugi: Apparently Itaru-san spread it around. The Director said she's playing it too.
Kazunari: I got a new interior just earlier~♪ Here, look at this!
Muku: Wow, how cool!
Muku's cat: 『Good evening, Kuro-san and Shiro-san! I'm coming in.』
Kazunari's cat: 『Welcome~☆』
Yuki's cat: Yes yes, welcome~
Tasuku: ......Their personalities really show.
Tsumugi: Ahaha, it's lively, huh.
Muku's cat: 『Nora's getting hype!』
Yuki's cat: 『I'm super hype! How cute~』
Muku: Eh?
Yuki: What's this.
Tsumugi: It's like Kazu-kun's manner of speech is catching......
Muku: Could it be that when you go to play, you're influenced by your friend cat and the manner of speech changes?
Kazunari: Woah, seriously!? I didn't know!
Tasuku: This game has quite a few features.
Tsumugi: Hehh, how interesting.
Kazunari's cat: 『YOLO!』
Muku's cat: 『That's right~』
Yuki's cat: 『Yeah! I get it!』
Yuki: ......I'm putting some distance between us and Kazunari's cat.
Kazunari: Yukki, that's mean! Kazu-tan will be sad! You're not allowed to unfriend me!
