Are you Japanese?
:)
Must’ve been my favorite book as a kid, ‘The Boy Who Drew Cats.’ He lived in a temple and got in trouble all the time for drawing cats on everything.
*SPOILER ALERT*
One night the monster Rat King tries to destroy the temple and all of the cats he had drawn came to life and killed the monster! Good Kittehs!
For some reason, that story has stuck with me for nearly 50 years. I’m a strong believer in magic - and being proactive to beat the enemy! :)
Now that I think about it, I’ve also had a Siamese cat. And I love the cat Maru! And Grumpy Cat! Maybe I am American Japanese? :)
