I Am a Cat
About This Novel
"I Am a Cat" is Natsume Soseki's masterpiece, written from 1904 to September 1906. The author inherited the tradition of Japanese haiku literature and Western European satirical literature, using humorous and pungent satire techniques to expose and criticize the thoughts and lives of the Japanese petty and middle-class bourgeoisie at the beginning of the twentieth century. This work takes the cat of a poor teacher as the protagonist and observes human psychology from the cat's perspective. Taking the cat's vision as the axis, the structure is composed of episodic details and fragments, which has the prose characteristics of a novel; the language is both hard and soft, elegant and popular, and the sound and color are gorgeous. This is a cat who is good at thinking, knowledgeable, full of justice, and has a literary temperament, but he has never learned to catch mice until his death.

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.
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.
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.
