Overview

The book is a comic book essay, with a message of how people and cats can grow through their relationship with each other.

Book Intro

A story of four people and eight cats in a small town.

On the day, this family of four was getting settled in their new home in the rural part of the country, a cat invites herself to be part of them. There are very few stray cats that are not wary of people but this one availed herself in an only too friendly way. A month later, she gave birth to seven kittens in their storage place. Thus began the family’s life with the addition of seven more kitties and their tabby mother.

Mimi, the mommy cat, shows them what it is like to have seven lively and energetic creatures around. The baby kittens are wary and do not allow people close to themselves. Each one of them looks different but all of them crave for their mommy’s milk, pooping and peeing in the same posture in a fixed place. The foxtail makes them playful and afraid. The author records their behavior and actions in a detailed way, making readers laugh but that is not all of it. The mommy cat, who offers her body as their playground and breastfeeding them, leaving her sapped of all her energy, and making sure that each of her kitten gets an equal share of the food fed to them by their human caretaker, is all so reminiscent of a self-sacrificing parent. “The simple but potent pen drawings display a well-developed story each time and it is like viewing a cat documentary.”

The number of single-person household is on an increase with the tendency to furniture for one person becoming a consumer trend. But we can only grow in our relationship with others. Cats are the same. Newborn kittens will copy their mother’s walk, learn to groom as the mommy cat does it for them, and learn to hunt as they play with each other. In this work, the humans and cats co-inhabit the same place and time as they grow. The human caretaker will nurture the weary mommy cat and rescues the baby cat caught high up on the tree for her. The cat in turn provides a quiet comfort to the humans.

The recording of that life will surely offer solace and warm memories to you, the readers.
