Features: This is a true record of harmonious coexistence between humans and cats. It is the language and gaze from another world. Having lived with the author for nearly 20 years, the members of this cat family, spanning five generations, have left our world. When you open this book, Huanhuan, Yaoyao, and their descendants will come to you from the words, bringing their warmth, their hunger, their desires, and their freedom. On those nights when the moon rises over the willow branches and cats meet at dusk; on those rooftops of the Jiangnan old houses where cats gaze intently, fighting for love—these are the places where their voices and silhouettes have been left behind. To protect their owners, the kitten Lily paid the ultimate price with her life. Their character surpasses human dreams. The story is beautiful and sorrowful, deeply moving. This book is a true record of harmonious coexistence between humans and cats. It shows us the lives, emotions, and inner worlds of these little creatures, inspiring us to reinterpret and examine life anew.
