Adapted from Tien-Hsin Chu’s essay collection The Cats' Lives , this work centers on tender observations of stray cats—wandering through shared spaces, weaving between house and street, inhabiting the overlooked corners of daily life.
Renowned comic artist Ruan Guang-Min brings these recollections into a new visual language, drawing on the essays “Cat Daddy” and “Lee Jiabao.” With warm, gentle hues, he captures the intimacy of human–cat bonds, while grey-toned backdrops evoke both memory and the quiet indifference of modern urban life. The result is a moving meditation on companionship, memory, and the fragile warmth found in ordinary encounters.
