Meow~ Remember me? That cat who used to be human.
In this life as a feline, I’ve discovered something magical: doing nothing brings more joy than all my past ambitions ever did.
If you’re feeling weary too, let’s try living life—the cat way.

This reincarnated kitty is here to help you pause, breathe, and rediscover calm.

Do you…
• Wear countless roles but lose sight of who you truly are?
• Sink into gloom when criticism strikes?
• Struggle to let go of life’s small frustrations?
• Carry work troubles home, your mind never at rest?
• Fear losing what you’ve worked so hard to gain?
• Dwell on the past or fret about the future, missing now?

Humans and cats alike crave happiness.
In my past human life, joy felt impossibly distant—always racing after dreams and others’ approval, yet never catching it.

Society claimed happiness meant marriage and career. Ads promised it with cars and houses. Social media sold it through endless escapades.
We played the "good child," "loyal friend," "perfect employee"—all to avoid disappointing others.
We became waiters, clerks, office workers—just to survive.
But in becoming everything, we forgot how to be ourselves.
We let others set our joy standards, our moods swinging on their words.
Trapped in society’s script, we traded our truth for a hollow promise of bliss.

Then I became a cat.
Cats don’t chase grand ambitions—we treasure full bellies and cozy naps.
We don’t perform—we simply exist, and cats get instant love.
When troubles come? We shrug.
No treat today? Nap it off. Slipped off a chair? Lick your fur with dignity. Called "chonky ginger"? Own your cuddly glory.
Minor misfortunes? Just part of the day’s adventure.
Happiness isn’t something you fight for—it finds you when you stop struggling.
Dear human, joy isn’t a finish line. Stop forcing it. Stop chasing it.
Learn from cats: breathe, be still, embrace your own company.
Do nothing… and watch happiness gently rub against your legs.

(=^･ω･^=) Since becoming a cat, I’ve learned…
• Life’s too short to waste on money and worries.
• A life of only good days doesn’t exist—and that’s okay.
• Thoughts themselves don’t cause wounds—clinging to them does.
• To find happiness, first stop lying to yourself.
• See everything as ordinary, and nothing needs to be "fixed."
• The only home you must protect is your own heart.
• Every moment holds beauty—whether it brings joy or pain depends on where you look.
