I have received E-mail from many people since I uploaded "Cat's Eye view.DEMO" as shareware to Info-Mac last autumn. That was a demo version because the original file was too large. I decided to remake it as separated files and upload them again. I would like to see my Cats wandering all over the world. Cats Eye View vol.1 is freeware.

I live in the suburbs of Tokyo and sometimes I take a walk to the Tama River. This is a big river running through the city. If I am lucky enough, I meet my friend at a flood plain nearby. He is a black stray cat. I call him Kuro which means "black" in Japanese. He likes to bask in the sun on the grass. I like to watch him. He allows me to sit down beside him because he enjoys the cookies I give him but I am never allowed to touch him.
"Do you have any troubles in your life?" I always ask him the same question.
"Naaao" he answers.
I say "Good"

I received E-mail from the US the other day. The sender was a schoolgirl. She wrote that she had been wandering about the net trying to find a drawing of cat. She needed to draw one for her class and she wanted it to be the best. She had just found my web page and asked me if I could tell her how to draw a cat neatly. How do you answer such a question as this? I was so embarrassed. At last I sent her my reply.
"Just be a cat. That's all I can advise you. Cat be with you."
Maybe I wasn't kind enough. But I think my Cats will speak eloquently enough for me.

This slideshow is a stand-alone movie made by Macromedia Director. You need more than a14 inch monitor and 16 bit color. You can copy this file freely under original conditions, but I retain my copyright. I am the owner of these Cats, so I'd be very glad if you would let me know where you found them wandering about and what they looked like from your point of view.
