This is a very early film by Japanese movie-maker Makoto Shinkai. 16 years ago, he wrote, directed and voiced the narrator in this one. He was in his mid-20s when he made this black-and-white film and built a nice career on this early effort, including "Voices of a Distant Star", another successful short movie from him, but also a couple full feature films.
This film here is about a cat, voiced by Shinkai, and his special relationship with his mistress. We also find out about another cat he meets and about life in general. This is a film that does not really tell a story, but more relies on atmosphere and emotion in an almost poetry-like manner. Still, unfortunately, it did not work for me to an extent where I would recommend it.
