The Modern History of Cats: from Monsters to Family Members

(japan) True Border General

129K0

From the legendary cat demon, to the important "rat-repelling general", to the "cat star" in the family, the changes in the status of cats in human society are a mirror of modern history. The modern era of cats is an era when cats finally become cats. People no longer fear cats as monsters or gods, and they no longer use moral principles such as loyalty to criticize them. However, modernization has allowed people to measure them by "whether they are useful", and large-scale breeding and large-scale hunting are repeated. It was not until the mid-to-late 20th century that cats finally began to use their own image to become the object of people's depiction and consumption, and the "cat craze" arrived. The hollowing out of life and family in modern society highlights the irreplaceable role of cats in companionship, and cats become members of the family. The modern era of cats is an extension of modern society. The happiness of cats can only be achieved by pushing human society forward, and the same is true for human happiness.
