When several Nightmare Meow Wows attack Sora and Neku, the latter sends out his Necho Cat. After the battle, Sora briefly plays with the cat before Neku teaches him how to create his own Spirit. Sometime before the second trip to Traverse Town, Neku releases his Necho Cat after locating Shiki.

A Spirit Necho Cat is one of the first Dream Eaters to greet Sora after he returns from his Mark of Mastery exam.
