The Silent Miaow

The Silent Miaow: A Manual for Kittens, Strays, and Homeless Cats
Paul Galico
ISBN 4-480-03440-4 (Japanese Translation)

The (English) subtitle describes contents of this book very good.

Aside from the book itself, it reminded me of a woman who insisted on a two way classification of human characteristics intensely.

According to her, human can be classified into two types, a cat type and
a dog type.

A dog type human wants to to get involved with other people, especially
one's partner. On the contrary, a cat type human does vice versa
regardless of one's gender, and she insisted on strongly that she
was a typical cat type woman.

But, in those days, the essential problem was whether I and she should
carry on a connection with each other, and for me she looked like talking
her theory like a problem of someone else. She explained the theory
extremely methodical, but I could not understand what she wants really to do
in those days after all.

In this sense, it reminded me of Masahiko Fujiwara's book.
In short, her logic looked perfect, but the principle which she based on was
not appropriate for the situation those days. Furthermore, it's meaningless
arguing ones (possible) partner down.

Well, but anyway it's an old story today.

I wonder what she is doing now and then as yet so far.

BTW, it could be a good textbook for my daughter. :o
