The first track on the [first drama CD](http://vgmdb.net/album/64673) for
_Kuzu no Honkai_ is titled "Nyan Nyan Prelude". It features characters named
"Checo"(?) and "Shuu", the former of whom might or might not literally be a
cat.

To summarize: the track begins with them doing lewd things (as is _Kuzu no
Honkai_ 's wont). Checo says she'll get a job, but Shuu says she can't,
because she's a cat. Shuu forgets her birthday, and they get into a fight.
They reminisce about the days when their relationship was all sunshine and
roses. At the end of the track, they reconcile.

I don't know who these characters are. Nothing in this track (nor the next
one, "Nyan Nyan Serenade") has anything to do with any of the characters or
events featured in the anime, even though the narrative "feels" like that of
_Kuzu no Honkai_. I'm thoroughly confused. Who are these people, and what does
any of this have to do with _Kuzu no Honkai_?

question
kuzu-no-honkai
Who are these people in the Kuzu no Honkai drama CDs?


I have seen neither the _Kuzu no Honkai_ anime nor the drama CD's, so I'm
basing this answer on my recollection of the manga. The manga features a bunch
of extras involving cats or cat-like people. (The last paragraph in [this
review](https://daiyamanga.com/2015/10/08/manga-review-scums-wish/) verifies
my shaky memory of the manga.) None of these have anything to do at all with
the main story.
[MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net/manga/44929/Kuzu_no_Honkai/moreinfo)
gives the titles as being _Nyan Nyan $foo_ , $foo being a musical form, which
roughly matches my memory, so it seems likely the drama CD tracks are related
to the extras.

In particular, your description of the drama CD track matches the story in the
"Nyan Nyan Prelude" extra, which is after ch. 5 in vol. 1. In the manga extra,
there is a human named Shu and a cat (or cat-person, I am unsure) named Chako.
They have a physical relationship, but later, tensions between the two emerge.
As in the drama CD, Chako speaks of getting a job, but Shu says she cannot
since she is a cat, and Shu forgets Chako's birthday. Later, Shu apologises,
but Chako is already convinced that:

> Because Shu-chan is so forgetful, he's already forgotten about me.
