Abstract

Kittens roam about in a museum strange encounters. Plants,
mushrooms, birds, mammals, reptiles, minerals, ancient
creatures – the kittens encounter each, one after another.
The whimsical worldviews illustrated by Yuko Higuchi
captivate us and we are attracted to them before we even know it.
