“One of a cat’s greatest abilities is to do nothing.

It neither guards the house nor lays eggs.
“Cats have the ability to get everything by doing nothing.”

The first volume of the 'Cat Moments' series, 'Cats Hide Their Talents', contains various mysterious appearances of cats living on the streets while hiding their talents.
The cat's talents, as shown by the artist, are as follows:


The cats bake bread in a pose he calls "the cat bakery."
In Korea, the sight of a cat with its front paws curled inside its body is often expressed as 'cat bread' or 'baking bread', which is said to be a unique expression among Korean cat lovers.
In this book, the cute images of the bread cats baking perfect bread through the stages of 'kneading', 'fermentation', and 'baking' bring laughter.


Meanwhile, the backs of the calico cats look like the palette of God.
The artist, who uses the beautiful fur colors of the cats' backs, which look like a painting made by God with beautiful colors, looks at them through the camera lens and cherishes them like works of art.


Cats also have a talent for enjoying nature and the seasons.
The artist's cat photos are widely known for their vivid seasonality.
In winter, when all the moisture in the world freezes solid, there is the sight of a cat that slowly melts the snow with its warm tongue, a 'snow-eating' cat that tries to survive the winter by leaning on the warmth of a country stove and ends up covered in soot all over its body, of course, but also a cat that happily climbs a flowering tree in spring, a calico that rolls around in the autumn leaves as if wearing camouflage, a kitten that immediately climbs onto a person's sneakers because it doesn't want its paws to get wet during the rainy season. These stray cats get through the seasons with their own unique survival skills and talents.


The 'fireplace' fashion that is popular among country cats at this time of year.
(…) It’s definitely a sad sight, but it’s a fashion that makes you laugh every time you see it.
Although their appearance may be shabby, for a stray cat, the most important thing is not to be cold when it's cold and not to be hungry when it's hungry.
For stray cats, survival is the most important thing in winter, regardless of the means or methods.

_'Country cat stove fashion', from 'Cats hide their talents'

The author, Lee Yong-han, divided both books in the 'Cat Moments' series into 'spring, summer, fall, and winter' seasons and recorded the appearance of cats.
Among the stray cats, there are many who cannot even enjoy this season and end up leaving early, but the writer Lee Yong records it as if he were praying.
I hope all the cats in the world enjoy this season and nature to their heart's content.
I hope to live out my life without eating rat poison or freezing to death.

The unstoppable best cats, Bongdali and Ddengdali.
Whenever I see these guys, I can tell they get along well.
When it snows, we go out and look at the snow together, run and walk in the snow together, and when we return to our nest, we eat together and spend winter nights sharing body heat together.
Friends who are always nice to see together.
Thanks to you, I have many memorable photos of snow cats.
But one late spring day, when the snow had melted and the weather had finally warmed up, Bongdal set off on a long journey using rat poison from a local restaurant.
After not seeing the guy for a long time, I asked a cat mom in the neighboring village and she said that the cat she was taking care of had also left the cat star because of the rat poison.
Fortunately, Ddengdal was safe, but the following summer, he too moved to another village.
When it still snows in the middle of winter, the first things that come to mind are Bongdal and Deungdal.
Looking at the photos, I still see my old friends playing in them, almost ready to walk up to me! How are you? Is it snowing there too?

As you read this book, which chronicles the moments and history of the most talked-about stray cats in Korea and abroad, you will realize that cats' greatest and most powerful talent is their ability to comfort humans and bring laughter.
Here is a poet who has been chasing cats for 18 years, feeding them and making them laugh.
In this boring world where there is nothing to laugh about, writer Lee Yong-han laughs and lives because of cats.
The 'best moments in a cat's life' that he witnessed and captured are compiled into a book, and cats make people cry and laugh again.

We've often heard news stories of cats saving their human companions by meowing unusually after detecting an earthquake or tsunami, or finding their way home from hundreds of kilometers away without any navigation.
That's just the tip of the iceberg of what cats can do.
We haven't yet discovered all the hidden talents cats have.
One of the feline abilities that humans have discovered is the ability to seduce humans, that is, the talent to disarm them and neutralize their hierarchy.
In front of cats, aren't we willing to lower our status and become their butlers and slaves, willing to do their bidding?
And above all, I think cats are the best at making people laugh.
In this world where there are no neighbors, seeing 'me' smiling and living because of cats is enough proof that it is a talent.
