@domo404 The translator is probably not a native speaker, which lead to this broken english.
My take of the story:
Some (self-proclaimed?) goddess was cursed by Escarlate the Guardian Witch and changed into the cat form. This apparently affects her thinking and behaviour, as she has trouble remembering stuff in the beginning of the story. She is living together with Escarlate now, who has artificial dolls as maids in her service. The cat then finds the plant (probably meant to be catnip) and gets high on it. She then sees Escarlate and first thinks she is just an illusion, but it is indeed the real one. And then the Guardian Witch captures the cat and... I think she pets her. That is the one job the cat has. Being petted by the witch.
Regardless of those mistakes, thank you for the translation of this work, dear translator!
