A handcrafted animated cat! Pause and gaze for just four minutes! This is the first time the Cat has ever been left alone at home. The Cat remains unnamed, and no one knows if it is male or female. It possesses two distinct sides: one very sensitive and the other rather naughty. The creators aim to produce sensitive animations, avoiding the overstimulation of children with excessive noise or too many images. Note: Winner of the 1996 Oofuji Noburou Award at the Mainichi Film Awards.
