The cat, who lives in the family of a schoolteacher, observes the life of the inhabitants of the house and nearby streets - with the arrogant detachment characteristic of cats and the philosophical contemplation characteristic of the Japanese.
A touching, satirical-funny and a little sad narrative from the face of a small creature, which people did not bother to give even a name. Just a cat, still a kitten carelessly taken from his mother by some boy and living under the roof of a poor Japanese house, where he is kicked, chased, and not fed, but sometimes caressed. This image reflects the fate of the author himself: Natsume Kinnoske (Soseki is a literary pseudonym) was born an unwanted sixth child and was given to another family, where he was also not loved and after a while returned back.
But the ability to fall and get up and not lose the taste for life, even when it is bitter, is a happy property that unites people and seals.
