On March 11, 889, a 22-year-old Japanese emperor wrote in his diary about his new black cat.

"On the oth Day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a
moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by
boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no
Kuwashi.

The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it,
although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about
it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed
a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.

In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back.

When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet.
It's as if it were circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses
profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds.

By nature, it likes to stalk birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It
can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows
it to disappear at night.

I am convinced it is superior to all other cats."

It seems that cats haven't changed much over the centuries.

Nor have cat lovers.
