There are many things we humans don't know much about ourselves. "Why do I have to do this?" "Why do I have to feel that way?" Many times we can't get answers from what we do. It is clear that many things are not what we intended, and even make us feel annoyed and miserable, yet we unconsciously want to continue doing them. "There are really a lot of worries when you are born as a human being!" "Do you have to work so hard to have a good life?" This book takes a cute cat's point of view, follow the cat to find the answer!

In my previous life when I was a human, The news wasn’t as fast and widespread as nowadays. Back then, people only knew their areas. Aunt Pan’s restaurant on that street is delicious. Uncle Chui’s dessert on the next intersection tastes good. Gramp Tao’s Oliang and Patonggo are the best in the district.
People’s favourites back then were simple. Humans were satisfied with what they saw and who they were. Comfort can be found without having to search for it.

It’s even more prominent in this life as a cat. A mackerel is nearly the entire world for me.

With the power of media… and the power of marketing, people no longer have to count. Delicious options increase every day through advertisements… and through social media...
