3 long "short stories" by one of Japan's most important early to mid twentieth century writers; in the title story, a cat is at the center of an odd love triangle; the second story, "The Little Kingdom" provides both psychology and social commentary through its depiction of the suffering of a very poor school-teacher and the reactions of the world around him to his plight; the third story, "Professor Rado" gradually reveals the rather twisted private life of an apparently respectable scholar
