I may look like an ordinary cat, but I’ve got a secret: I used to be human, just like you!
Once lost in worries and confusion, I now find pure joy in every moment—even a simple tin of tuna feels like heaven.

Come see the world through my feline eyes, and discover how happiness can be so effortlessly simple.

This cat’s a little different—and I’m here to walk (or pounce!) beside you, bringing purr-fect peace to your soul.

Do you ever…
• Feel envy scrolling through social feeds, chasing the next trendy "check-in"?
• Scroll mindlessly until your neck aches, yet panic if you miss an update?
• Buy expensive things, only to feel emptier than before?
• Learn new skills for competition, not joy?
• Ride emotional waves, tossed between highs and crushing lows?
• Long for happiness but feel stuck in a life that doesn’t fulfill you?

Our human world overflows with food, shopping, and entertainment—all just a tap away.
But why does joy feel harder to grasp when life’s more convenient than ever?
As a cat who’s lived both lives, I’m here to help you find the answer.

“But you’re just a cat!” you say?
Well… here’s my secret: I remember my past human life.
I once stressed over others’ opinions, trapped in society’s cage.
I chased possessions, worked to exhaustion, and lost sight of what truly matters.
I treated happiness like a math equation—believing I needed X, Y, Z to be content.

Then I became a cat.
Suddenly, joy felt… easy.
A nap is pure bliss. A tin of tuna? Ecstasy! Sunshine warms my fur; raindrops don’t ruin my day.
As a cat, I accept what I can’t change—maybe with a meow, but never resentment.
I live freely, unshaken by judgment. My happiness depends on no one but me.
My life isn’t complicated. Now is what matters. What I have is enough.
Each day, just as it is, is purr-fectly peaceful. And honestly? Happiness is simpler than you think.

So, dear human—follow my paw prints.
Let’s walk the path to your happiness, one soft step at a time.

(=^･ω･^=) Since becoming a cat, I’ve learned…
• The less you need, the richer you feel.
• Happiness shrinks when buried under conditions.
• No two paths look alike—stop comparing yours.
• More stuff = more desire. More filling = more emptiness.
• Your perspective paints the world.
• True wealth is loving what you already have.
• Breathe. Trust time. Life unfolds when you let it.
