So... the gist is that the bakeneko came from a cat who died with bitterness and regret for not being able to get the fish she leapt for, and so Yoshiko lucked out and happened to offer exactly the right food to assuage her regrets.
Thank you for the uploads! I really love ready this 4-komas after a long day at work. I wonder what kinda of youkai the other catgirl is supposed to be or represent in the third panel?

The commentary suggests it's a nekomata named Nekoko-san.
To be fair, she could have been delirious from starvation, and was in such a desperation she didn't stop to recognize how large the gap was and/or didn't have the strength left to make the jump... but those explanations just make it sadder.
Mii-chan, do you want some fish?And then I spotted some fish that were hung up, nya!Nyaa feverishly dashed towards them, full of happiness, nya! But suddenly, the ground gave out under her.And then a Nekomata-sama took pity and shared some spiritual power, nya.That was totally a trap set to catch out Nyaa, nya...!Such a piteous cat, nya...
I'll share some spiritual power, nya...You really don't have much athleticism in you...Nyaa's determination is hardened, nya!Nyaa doesn't remember much of her previous life, nya...And then straight into the sea...I'll never forgive huma-...I do!
I want some, nya!All Nyaa remembers is being hungry with nothing she could do about it, nya...
