For all that it is a cat, Joshu manages to walk on two legs and even handle a pen and paper well enough to jot down notes. When Edison was suddenly struck with an idea after watching the Straw Hats battle S-Shark, Joshu trailed after the scientist to help sketch out plans for a fresh invention. The anime stages a near-identical sequence, with Edison conceiving a notion and remarking that he would take even a cat's help while Joshu inserts itself to assist, hinting that the cat routinely involves itself in the satellite's impromptu design sprees.
