Not just the cat, but the protagonist himself. What moved me the most was James' kindness. Sheltering the "neighbor" mice, worrying about taking care of cats, gentle care of cats, and just the right amount of humor. Survival engraved on the wrist is also James' strength. Many people die, but there are those who, like James, have no hope but are determined to live.
It's not so much that James's change was brought to him by the cat, it's more of himself. His kindness and optimism, his sense of responsibility and strength, and the unbearable face of the fall of life, let him bear the burden of living. When the sheets were illuminated by the warm sunlight, James had quit methadone and was on the brighter side of life. Look, Bob is still here. I'm with you, maybe because you're nice.
