Have you ever looked into the eyes of a cat and wondered what they are thinking?
This diary belongs to a cat named Sartre. He was taken captive at a tender age and spent much of his life living in a typical suburban house with, what he describes, a hostile human family. As Sartre explains, he began this diary to document not just his feline adventures, but the horrors he had to endure at the hands of his oppressive human captors, such as receiving his rabies shot, having to eat cat kibble and being coddled like a toy. By recording his personal experiences, we learn about the other cats - or felosophers - he encounters on his solo outdoor excursions. Sartre's entries illustrate his personal growth as he assesses the fundamental felosophical questions and beliefs of cats like Marx, Epicurus, Machiavelli, Descartes and Nietzsche in a world where he describes the Cat God being subordinate to the Human God. Ultimately, Sartre's diary serves as a window into the deep intellectual and felosophical brilliance of cats.
Cogito, ergo sum cattus. I think, therefore I am cat.
