Picture Book. The Cat Inn

By the seaside, amidst the fields, stands a house where Grandma Huali lives with seven cats. This is Grandma Huali's home and also a renowned cat inn. This inn charges no fees; accommodation is offered in exchange for work. By helping with one task each day, guests can stay for free for one night. Consequently, many cats stay for days, and some even plan to live there their entire lives. However, within this seemingly peaceful inn, a dreadful curse circulates among the cats: only seven feline guests can reside there at any given time. If a new cat arrives, one of the current guests is destined to disappear... Yet, cats frequently pass by. What will unfold at this cat inn? "The Cat Inn" is a picture book created by Huang Hai-di in 2019. With its beautiful artwork and simple style, it leads readers page by page through the lives of cats. The regular visitors and passing felines at the inn each leave an imprint on their lives. The world of "The Cat Inn" blends hardship and beauty, as life continuously cycles, beginning and ending, always moving forward. It is sure to bring readers simple, pure emotions and the most ordinary happiness! "I feel like the owner of an inn, providing a temporary sanctuary for cats visiting Earth. Regardless of the length of their stay, each encounter is a beautiful one, even though goodbyes are inevitable..." --by Huang Hai-di
