From Wikipedia: I Am a Cat (a e (c)a Zci"a a CaCi Wagahai wa neko
de aru) is a satirical novel written in 1905-1906 by Natsume
Soseki, about Japanese society during the Meiji Period;
particularly, the uneasy mix of Western culture and Japanese
traditions, and the aping of Western customs. Soseki's original
title, Wagahai wa neko de aru, uses very high register phrases more
appropriate to a nobleman, conveying a grandiloquence and
self-importance intended to sound ironic, since the speaker is a
house cat. The book was first published in ten installments in the
literary journal Hototogisu. At first, Soseki intended only to
write the short story that constitutes the first chapter of I Am a
Cat. However, Takahama Kyoshi, one of the editors of Hototogisu,
persuaded Soseki to serialize the work, which evolved stylistically
as the installments progressed. Nearly all of the stories can stand
alone as a discrete work.
