I am a cat. As yet, I have no name.

I have no idea where I was born. The only thing I remember is that I was crying "meow meow" in some dark, damp place. It was there that I first saw a human. Later, I was told that this person was a "student," one of the most vicious and cruel types of human beings.

This "student" sometimes catches cats and boils them to eat, I’ve heard. However, at that time, I didn’t think about such things, so I wasn’t particularly afraid. I only remember that when he placed me on his palm and lifted me up, I felt a strange, fluffy sensation.

Sitting calmly for a while on his palm, I looked at the student's face, and that was probably the first time I saw what humans look like. Even now, I still recall that it felt quite odd.

First of all, the face, which should have been covered with fur, was smooth and shiny, like a teapot.

I’ve met many cats since then, but I’ve never encountered one like that, with such a strange appearance.

Moreover, the middle of his face sticks out quite a bit, and from that hole, he sometimes blows out smoke. The smoke irritated my throat and was rather unpleasant. I later learned that this was what humans call "tobacco."

For a while, I sat comfortably in the student's palm, but soon he started moving me at an incredible speed. I couldn’t tell whether he was moving or I was the one moving, but everything was spinning wildly, and my chest felt terrible.

I thought I was certainly going to die, when suddenly there was a thud, and everything went dark. I still remember that moment, but after that, I can’t recall anything at all.
