• Notes from Cat Haee: Notes from Haee share an interesting insight on the life of a solitary, restless and irritable middling. As a cat living in the city, Haee is left alone most of the time in the pad he shares with Tom and Jane (2 working middlings). He spends his day either staring out into the streets below or sitting in front of his favourite 25-inch television box.He avoids social contact most of the time but at times, when he feels drawn to people, he sneaks out into the feverish, crowded streets below. Occasionally in the night, he trawls the bars, indulges in loud music, cigarettes and alcohol.These notes provide an insight to an atmosphere of neglect, self-neglect, boredom, and non-existentialism, even sordidness. It is somewhat the modern city we live in.Subscribe to Haee’s notes in his facebook notes at https://www.facebook.com/Cat.Haee?sk=notes.
