Synopsis

A child and a cat love to chat with each other constantly. And they get along like a house on fire, as well. The child is curious and clever, so they know how to ask all sorts of questions. The cat, however, has lived with humans for a long time and has hidden a lot of human wisdom between its ears over the years. This is why the cat is able to answer any question the child asks. Even the questions about bodies, sex, love, safety, and becoming yourself. For example, the cat knows very well what puberty is and how it changes the body. It also knows
how to take care of the body and how to stand up for oneself when necessary.
