In I am a Cat (Ik ben een kat in Dutch), a rather headstrong and intelligent observant cat moves into a teacher’s home. The book follows the cat’s observations and interactions with the teacher and his circle of friends, providing an interesting perspective on human behavior.
The cat, with a critical eye, narrates his master’s inflated behavior, revealing the human tendency to feign superiority and the struggle between habits and customs. In a humorous twist, he exposes the triviality that surrounds his master.
