Into the book
So when a cat chases you and clings to you to raise it, it means that it has staked one of its nine lives entirely on you, and you should either do your best to reject it or do your best to accept it.
Because, and it's a well-known secret, to cats, gratitude and revenge are on the same level, and they only have two choices.
If you become his butler, the cat will repay you as it pleases, but if you raise it poorly and then abandon it, it will take revenge with all its might.
--- pp.8-9
“That’s what Theo said.
Strangely, the animals become quiet when Theo touches them, and they even eat food they wouldn't normally eat.
Just like Dr. Dolittle.
Like knowing you have a cracked rib before you get an X-ray, or knowing you have a skin condition in a place that's hidden by hair.
And when the cats see Theo, they meow and meow.
“Like a patient complaining about his pain.”
--- pp.41-42
Dad saw the guy who killed the life that was the most heartbreaking thing for the butler.
“The day I came to find my mother.”
“How many years has it been since I came to this house to visit my mother?”
Although Pink didn't say anything else, his words clearly gave Godeok a clue to the incident he had been unaware of.
“Is it true what you just said?”
Pink turned her head and said nothing.
I don't know how far he can see into the past and future, but I know that at least there's nothing wrong with the events of that day.
--- p.109
“That’s why you can talk like a cat now.
“Because before that child died, I gave you one of my lives.”
“Wait a minute! If you were to give me artificial respiration at that time….”
“In the cat world, it’s a crazy thing that only happens once in a thousand years.”
“Why me?”
“I told you! It was the kitten’s choice.”
“Is it true that that kitten gave me one of my lives?”
“If you repeat what I say one more time, I’ll call you a sangtorai.”
“It was an unpleasant conversation, human.”
--- p.146
You end up throwing it away.
I thought that Yeondu and Bunhong's lives would have a happy ending, with a bond stronger than that of comrades who survived the brink of death.
The heart that felt like it could endure anything as long as the child survived was filled with selfishness again.
--- p.182
“If you know the number of times he was reincarnated, you can guess what kind of abilities he has.
The higher the level, the higher the ability value, so it becomes easier to find.
Of course, most people don't show off their abilities to hide their past, but why is there a saying that "the best are the worst"?
It's just supposed to pop out, that's what I'm saying.
So this guy here is in his third round, and I am in my second round.
“Do you feel that big difference?”
Because, and it's a well-known secret, to cats, gratitude and revenge are on the same level, and they only have two choices.
If you become his butler, the cat will repay you as it pleases, but if you raise it poorly and then abandon it, it will take revenge with all its might.

Publisher's Review
Save the oppressed cats and bring peace to the world.
Who will be the one and only millennial butler?
A fervent wish to reach each other's souls and achieve it
A wondrous story about animal rights told by countless lives.
“If humans have monogamy, cats have a system called ‘one cat, one butler,’” begins the novel “The Thousand-Year Butler, the Hundred-Year Cat.” It is a novel that depicts the process of tracking down the ‘Thousand-Year Butler’ who helps the reincarnation of all living things in the world.
This exciting story, which unfolds from both the cat and human perspectives, contains food for thought about animal rights and the value of life.
The protagonist, Godeok, accidentally gains the ability to understand 'cat language', and through this, he experiences cat society firsthand and encounters various aspects of reality that humans inflict on life.
The work sharply illuminates issues and raises ethical questions through the lens of a cat's perspective and language, such as repaying the favor received from a cat with betrayal, harming life on the street without any guilt, and using life as a means of making money by forcing illegal animal cloning and inbreeding.
The author views modern society's disregard for life not as a simple, temporary phenomenon, but as a serious problem that has been repeated throughout history. He seeks to overcome this foolishness with a millennial perspective and create a future where humans and animals can coexist.
The real abilities of cats that most people don't know about
The hunt for the legendary 'Century Cat', reborn nine times.
《The Thousand-Year Butler, the Hundred-Year Cat》 is an original story inspired by the sun god 'Ra' in ancient Egyptian mythology.
Cats are depicted as mystical beings with nine lives, based on the legend that the sun god Ra disguised himself as a cat whenever he visited the underworld and gave birth to eight gods.
Author Chu Jeong-gyeong uses this mythical imagination to build a narrative that blurs the boundaries between humans and animals by adding the idea that each of the cat's nine lives possesses a special ability from the sun god Ra.
The cats in the novel are reincarnated nine times, each gaining unique abilities in each life.
This ability begins with understanding cat language, and gradually becomes more powerful, including the ability to communicate with other living beings, the ability to see through past sins, and the power to predict the future. However, humans can only receive this ability through the life of a cat.
Cats connect the human and cat worlds by directly transferring their abilities to special butlers of their choice.
Mary, a gray cat who understands the language of all living things in her second life, a striped cat who can see the past in her third life, Nurungji who hides her past and expresses gratitude to Godeok, and Godeok's pet cat Pink add vitality to the story with their unique personalities and roles.
Their humorous yet warm collaboration, combined with the sophisticated depiction of the cat world, brings both emotion and laughter to readers.
The cats' abilities are not limited to mere fantasy settings, but are also used as a device to solve the darkness and problems of the human world.
Godeok uses his gifted abilities to resolve conflicts between stray cats and the human world, and through a journey of realizing the dignity and value of life, he accepts his fate.
Gain the cat's powers and become its butler
A journey to discover the value of life while tracking down the culprit.
Godeok acquires the first cat ability, 'cat language', from a kitten dying in the arms of its murdered mother, along with a request to "find him."
Afterwards, he tries to uncover the truth behind his mother's death by communicating with stray cats and searching for the reincarnated kitten, the only witness.
Meanwhile, rumors begin to spread among the cats that Godeok is the 'Thousand Year Butler', a being who appears once every thousand years.
Meanwhile, Theo, a boy who has a deep bond with a white tiger named Tigris, who was born through inbreeding at an animal cloning lab, gains the cat's fifth ability the moment Tigris is euthanized.
Theo, who possesses the language and senses of animals, learns of the vicious cycle of white tigers, whose souls are not killed through cloning and inbreeding, but are reborn through suffering, and accepts his fate to become a thousand-year butler to end this cycle.
Godeok and Theo continue to ponder life, death, and coexistence from their respective positions, and join forces to save the cats' lives.
However, a serial killer who gained some of his abilities by stabbing kittens tries to threaten cats on the street to increase his abilities, and if he is not stopped, all life will be in danger.
In the cat world, only those who possess the dignity of life can become the "Millennium Butler." Can Godeok and Theo find the Hundred-Year-Old Cat before the serial killer and gain all nine abilities? And can they find the reincarnated kitten and uncover the identity of its mother's killer?
