Cats Always Get in the Way of Our Work, Forever Unchanged

Look at this old photo from 1981. Famous Japanese manga artist Fujio Akatsuka is concentrating on his work, and his beloved cat 'Kikuchiyo' is boldly lying on the drawing paper. The pose is incredibly arrogant—legs up in the air, belly fully exposed, as if saying: 'What are you drawing? Come pet me now!' The master holds his brush, eyes full of helplessness, while Kikuchiyo stares with round eyes, showing no intention of moving. In a cat's dictionary, the word 'deadline' simply doesn't exist. There's only 'wherever I lie down is your desk.' They are born with a radar, always able to precisely occupy the keyboard, drawing paper, or mouse when humans are most focused, perfectly embodying what it means to be a 'workplace obstacle.' But interestingly, the master didn't drive the cat away. Instead, he 'promoted' it! The following year, Fujio Akatsuka serialized the manga 'Hana no Kikuchiyo' (Kikuchiyo of the Flowers) with Kikuchiyo as the protagonist. From a 'source of chaos' hindering work to a star in the manga world—this is definitely the ultimate 'career comeback.' Over 40 years later, cats obstructing human work look exactly the same. This tells us an eternal truth: no matter how urgent things are for humans, it's never more important than the comfort of the master lying down. Next time your cat presses on your keyboard, don't get angry. It might just be hinting: 'It's time to make me the star!' By the way, isn't this cat much cuter than the one in the manga? 🤣 I thought the mangaka intentionally made it look ugly, but seeing his art style... I've read his manga before... Okay, ugly-cute is probably normal 🤣🤣
