After seeing a stray cat trembling on the street in the cold rain, Soom brings the animal home and decides they will live together. Once she starts to live with the cat, she begins to take notice of other stray felines as well. Wishing to help these cats, which are unable to feed themselves and live in a dirty and dangerous urban environment, the protagonist starts to give them food and water, but often gets in quarrels with people who dislike the animals. After pondering how stray cats and humans might coexist happily, she gathers likeminded people and organizes a group called “Cat Friends in Our Neighborhood,” or “CFON.” Engaging in various activities, members of the organization succeed in changing both the town and the mindset of many neighbors.
