When I saw the title of the movie, I thought it was to write a story about a cat being redeemed by someone, or something like that. The result is just the opposite. It is a story of man being redeemed by a cat. The man and the cat become one and find the continuation of life for each other.

When a person is already at the bottom of his life, who can redeem him? This is a real problem. His parents gave up on him, his friends gave up on him, even the aid agencies gave him no hope, and the society rejected him. But why did the rescuer say there was hope in his eyes. That hope may be goodness. He is a kind boy, so he saved a cat who was as lonely and helpless as him, and was even willing to give everything for the cat. Not at all sensational, very natural snuggling of people and cats. Psychology also says that in the lowest loneliness, people can rely on communication with nature or the source to regain themselves. At this time, plants and animals in nature have healing properties. Nowadays, many elderly people keep dogs or cats, because the simple closeness of animals can make them feel that they are a living person. Similarly, those who love plants can also find a lot of solace in life.

The last week of detoxification was the hardest, and the one who took the male lead to get through was the cat. Cats are not magical, they just lead the protagonist back to the source of life and let him experience a kind of care that never leaves him. He is on the verge of death, but every time he wakes up, there is a living creature by his side. This emotional support is weak but powerful. He chose not to see his girlfriend, because no one wanted to see his ghostly appearance, but the animal, the cat, instinctively felt the male protagonist with his heart, and didn't care about his poverty and ghostly appearance. We sometimes need such care and support. But even the male protagonist's father can't accept his son, and we can't blame others.

The male protagonist has defeated himself, but he is not fighting alone. The relationship between people and animals is not just the relationship between the owner and the cute pet. This connection is much deeper. The story of the male protagonist has inspired many people to seize the second chance in life. This sentence is also very inspirational, but if you want to turn around, you must rely on it, and finding your inner strength is the key.

The original book of this movie should be worth watching, but unfortunately I haven't seen it yet.
