Ugoku! Neko Mukashibanashi

What changes when a cat wanders into a story everyone already knows? Tabby, orange, calico, and white cats slip into folktales and children’s classics from around the world, nudging familiar events into new directions without losing their original charm. Sometimes the cat changes almost nothing; sometimes its mere presence is enough to turn an old moral into gentle chaos. These short tales find warmth and comedy in the simple idea that once a cat enters a story, it has a remarkable talent for making the story about itself.
