“No matter what happens, you are never alone.” The picture book “Cat House” allows us to see that although we cannot control when the people we love deeply will leave, we can at least choose what kind of mood we use to face the mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. Through carefully feeling the memories left by the other person and the traces engraved in their lives, the shadow of love will slowly pile up!
The protagonist of the story is a grandma who hates cats. Because her deceased grandfather loved cats so much and knew how to feed them, grandma lives in a house surrounded by cats. Every day she spends time chasing away cats that come close to the house. Walk.
When driving away the cats, grandma always couldn’t help but mutter: “But grandpa definitely doesn’t think so, he loves cats the most!” It was like complaining, but also like missing the old grandpa who had left.
“Cat House”Use simple words to talk to readers, and use childlike descriptions and illustrations to create our emotional world, making people fall into the vortex of the story as if they were there; every paragraph in the book and the thoughts hidden in the lines are even more stimulating It takes readers deep into their memories.

As grandma missed her grandpa more and more, she felt even more hollow inside. No one wants to be immersed in sad memories, but who can accept the departure of a loved one calmly? Even though she knew that getting angry at the cat was just a tantrum, Grandma could find no other way to vent her unbearable loneliness.
Watching grandma go from seemingly strong-willed to accept grandpa’s departure, to suddenly feeling lonely in an empty house, it reminds me of the people in the movie “Say Goodbye to Grandpa” who were at a loss when facing death, and their emotions When you are in a state of confusion and unable to properly express your sadness, it is not an emotion that can be sorted out easily.
Someone once said that sadness is like a glass of water. Sometimes you have to remember to pour it out. Maybe grandma forgot to pour out the water. After accidentally knocking over the glass of water, she dumped the sadness and forgot it along with the sad memories; and like this She felt like she was reborn.
Although I have lost the memories of getting along with my beloved and the existence of each other, the love left behind still continues to play out in my heart over and over again, and even leaves its mark; the cats who accompany me are the love left by my grandfather. Hug it well and take care of it gently. Even if the beauty only lasts for a moment, it is worth your effort to feel it with all your heart. If this love can be preserved, why not?

“No matter what happens, you are never alone.”There is such a sentence written in the back of the picture book, which seems to remind grandma and those who are awake to finish reading the story.
Although we cannot control when the person we love deeply will leave, we can at least choose how to face the mixed joys and sorrows of life; by carefully feeling the memories left by the other person, the traces engraved in our lives will slowly become Stacking up the shadow of love can still accompany you even if you are in an unpredictable situation.
