"A simple job of taking care of cats"—intrigued by such a job listing, I visited an old, rustic café called Rainbow Cat Coffee shop. There, I met the reclusive, cat-obsessed owner and a group of stray cats awaiting adoption. While my task was supposed to be cleaning a cat-filled house where an elderly woman with dementia lived, I soon found myself tangled in the "cat troubles" brought in by customers with their own stories. A heartfelt tale of lonely humans and cats learning to connect in their own awkward ways. 1
