This entry required a genuine correction. The bilingual source corpus's automated text extraction misreads the large stylized kanji on the page as 心猫してくれ ("heart-cat, please do [something]") — a plausible-looking but nonsensical string, the kind of error that happens when OCR tools guess at heavily stylized manga lettering. Direct visual inspection of the printed panel (Vol. 14, p.149) shows the actual printed text is unambiguous, furigana and all: 恋猫（こいねこ）しぐれ. The corpus's own bilingual pairing kept the correct English half — "CATLOVE SHOWER!" — intact throughout, which is precisely how the mismatch was caught: an English translation that didn't match its supposed Japanese source is exactly the kind of alignment failure this dictionary's verification process exists to flag.
Once corrected, the name turns out to be a small piece of classical-poetry trivia hiding inside a fight scene. 猫の恋 ("the cat's love") is a real and famous season word in Japanese poetry — cats calling and prowling during spring mating season, used by poets going back centuries (Bashō has a well-known haiku built on exactly this image) as a stock symbol for love's less decorous, more animal side. Mitsuri's writers didn't just borrow "cat" as a cute mascot image; they reversed a specific literary compound (猫の恋 → 恋猫) and paired it with しぐれ, itself a classical season-word for a brief, sudden rain. Two pieces of inherited poetic vocabulary, neither invented for the manga, spliced into one attack name.
VIZ's "CATLOVE SHOWER" is a genuinely clever solution to an near-untranslatable pun-name: it can't reproduce the seasonal-poetry resonance of either half, but it does preserve the portmanteau structure (cat + love, fused, followed by shower) and keeps the technique's actual mechanic — a shower of overlapping slash-lines raining down from every direction — legible in the English name. It's one of the few Love Breathing forms where VIZ chooses invention over literal transcription, and the coinage holds up: "Catlove Shower" reads, correctly, as something a swordswoman obsessed with cats and love in equal measure would name her own move.
