It is a known fact that every cat owner is obsessed with their cat. Don't attempt to deny it. This is a safe space. We are not judging you. If you are a cat owner who does not think that their cat is the best cat, the cutest cat, the most purrfect cat, are you really a cat owner at all? No cat owner will judge you here - because we're all the same and have always been. All throughout history, cats destroy our things, and we love them for it.
And we really mean cats are loved by everyone all throughout history - as proven by this diary entry of a teenage emperor from the 9th century who is sitting there and bragging about his cat. "I am convinced it is superior to all other cats," he writes, and we feel that in the very depths of our soul.
No wonder cats became such a huge thing in art in Japan. We swear, they have some kind of mystical powers. Making emperors in Japan write whole diary entries complimenting them, making the Egyptians worship them, domesticating themselves by just walking into our homes, expecting love and getting it from us - cats are amazing, and no one can tell us otherwise.
And it's really just the icing on the cake that he is talking about a black cat here. "Its color allows it to disappear at night," might be one of our favorite sentences from this entry, though there are many contenders. Yes, teenage emperor, you give our black voids the love that they deserve.
