I Am a Cat
About This Novel
"I" am a cat, a cat with thoughts and soul. The owner of "my" seems to be diligent and hard-working, but in his heart he is a stubborn, willful, pedantic and aloof man, who is often laughed at by his neighbors. The master often gets together with his friends, Mi Ting, Han Yue, Du Xian and others, to discuss some unrealistic and meaningless things, which make "I" feel both absurd and ridiculous. "I" also met all kinds of people: the snobbish "big nose", the vicious capitalists, the neighbors who are greedy for money... In the eyes of "I", everything is ugly. "I Am a Cat" is the representative work of Natsume Soseki, Japan's "national writer". The novel tells the story from the perspective of a cat, describing the daily life of the cat owner and his friends in detail, with humor, exquisite conception and distinctive characteristics. The novel shows the empty spiritual world of the intellectuals in Meiji society and exposes the thoughts and life of the petty bourgeoisie. It has a distinctive satirical color and has a profound influence on the history of Japanese literature.

The last time the cat sharpened its claws on the tatami, the mistress got very angry and never allowed the cat to enter the Japanese room. Even if the cat squatted on the wooden floor of the kitchen and shivered pitifully, the mistress didn't care. This bitter trick is no longer useful to the hostess.
I bought this book as a physical book in a bookstore. It may be difficult to understand. I personally feel like this. I have read it many times and I still don't understand some details. It doesn't matter. Every time I read it, I will read something else.
This chapter describes who the protagonist is, the protagonist's origin, location, important characters and some things are written in an orderly manner.
Very well written.
Observing humans from a cat's perspective, discovering the evil nature of the human world, and being deeply inspired
This cat raised by the owner is not outstanding, and it cannot surpass other cats in terms of body shape, coat color, etc. But no matter how ugly it is, it cannot be as strange as the owner described it. Forget it, the color is wrong, and it doesn't even have eyes.
I still remember that I went to Sisyphus Bookstore with my friends in elementary school to buy it. At that time, the bookstore was called Fufusili. At that time, you could get a limited edition membership card when you bought the book. The main reason was that the card looked good. Hehe, it was just a casual read at that time. I just understood the plot, but I didn't understand the deeper meaning. I was too young at the time, but after reading it again in junior high school, I realized that it was really very social significance. He was worthy of Natsume Soseki.

Meow meow meow Yeah love you love you love you
The language is humorous, absurd and spicy, but it contains a lot of philosophy. I think the author did not intentionally promote a certain idea, but tried his best to lay out all the limitations and advantages of dealing with various life problems in reality and let readers think for themselves.
The cat originally wanted to stay as still as possible and help its owner draw the picture. But I feel the urge to urinate frequently and I am about to urinate. I had no choice but to stretch my legs forward and yawn to relieve the urge to urinate. But the master's original plan was ruined, so he was scolded by the master.
