This is somewhat ironic, since the speaker, an anthropomorphized domestic cat, is a regular house cat of a teacher, and not of a high-ranking noble as the manner of speech suggests.\n\nThe book was first published in ten installments in the literary journal Hototogisu. At first, Sōseki intended only to write the short story that constitutes the first chapter of \u003cem\u003eI Am a Cat\u003c\/em\u003e.  However, Takahama Kyoshi, one of the editors of Hototogisu, persuaded Sōseki to serialize the work, which evolved stylistically as the installments progressed. Nearly all the chapters can stand alone as discrete works.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most of the books in our store, this book is in English.\n\u003cstrong\u003eUyarı:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agora Bilim Pazarı'ndaki diğer birçok kitabın aksine, bu kitap İngilizcedir.","brand":"Panama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47957403336959,"sku":"SB-B-000536","price":500.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/8287\/7439\/files\/14b68842a010b4f469fca624c946838f.jpg?v=1778921488","url":"https:\/\/agora.evrimagaci.org\/products\/i-am-a-cat-natsume-soseki","provider":"Agora Bilim Pazarı","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
