Mewo is a small black cat with bright white eyes owned by Sunny's older sister, Mari. She primarily resides in White Space, as the only living occupant there besides Omori.
Story
Mewo is a black kitten with white eyes and a short tail. While she is notably the first NPC encountered in the game, she only appears in three relatively minor areas: White Space, the Punishment Area in Black Space, and the Crossroads area.
Headspace
In Headspace, Mewo is owned by Omori instead of Mari.
White Space
Mewo is seen laying down next to the floor mat, and opposite the door. Upon interacting with Mewo, she asks if you are waiting for something to happen.
Immediately after Basil's disappearance, she will instead note that there isn't much to do in White Space, before telling Omori that there's always one way to leave.
Black Space
Mewo is prominently featured in the Punishment Area, the sixth room visited. Mewo will be strapped to an autopsy table, while a Butler claims that she needs punishment for "being very, very bad". If you interact with Mewo, Omori will be prompted to 'cut her open.' If he agrees, he will be asked again as Mewo grows more terrified over his intent, until he cuts her open after the seventh prompt.
Mewo does not have to be cut open; Omori can leave the room by stabbing himself after collecting the key from the Butler.
Real World
In the real world, Mewo was owned by Mari. She is not present in reality, having apparently vanished after Mari's death, and can only be seen in a few Photo Album images. It's implied that Mari got her around the 20th of July, as Basil refers to her as "Mari's new kitten" in the photo album.
Crossroads
Mewo can be seen guiding Sunny to his house after both Sunny and Basil get hospitalized from fighting each other.
Photo Album
Mewo is seen twice in the photo album, both images taken on Sunny's birthday.
(7/20 - SUNNY'S BIRTHDAY): You can't really tell from the photo, but Mari and Hero got Sunny a giant building block set. Sunny seems much more interested in the box though. He acts just like Mari's new kitten, Mewo!
(7/20 SUNNY'S BIRTHDAY): Sunny won't leave the box, so Kel put a food bowl inside. I guess this box will be Sunny and Mewo's new home.

Trivia
- It's unclear what happened to Mewo after Mari's death.
- It's never stated what Mewo's breed is in-game.
- If Mewo is cut open in the Punishment Area, she will no longer appear in White Space. This can only be seen on an Omori route, as White Space is not revisited in any significant capacity on the Sunny route after Black Space.
