The Japanese cat-loving plot has its historical background and cultural origin. Originally, it originated from the Japanese's admiration for imported goods. Cats were introduced to Japan from abroad. At first, only the royal family could keep them. And cats contribute a lot to the control of mice. As we all know, Japan is a country that mainly grows rice. Before cats were introduced to Japan, a lot of food was stolen by rats, and the people could do nothing. After adding all the sense of honor to the royal family, the problem of rats was completely solved, which is the most fundamental reason why Japanese people love cats.

Secondly, the cat's personality also makes the Japanese fondle admiringly. Cats are quiet and like to be alone. So is the Japanese. They don't like noise, deep heart-to-heart, or others speculating about their inner world. The reason they like cats may be that they want others to see that they are as quiet and elegant as cats, but their inner world is well hidden. The Japanese nation is a nation with strong sense of loneliness. They rely on cats, pin some good hopes on themselves, or get some spiritual comfort from cats, or use cats to vent their depression and dissatisfaction. It is this similarity that makes Japanese people more inclined to express their feelings with the help of cats in their long-term life. Thus, there was Natsume Sosky's I am a cat. He described the spiritual world of intellectuals such as Kumisha, Cold Moon and Mystery Pavilion with the style of a cat. The similarity between Japanese and cats is also the reason why Japanese love cats.
