Hello and welcome to another "analysis" of a Nicholas Leonard's story!
This one is called "Kittens Exist" and the word analysis is put into quotation marks cause I'm no literary expert. This post here is just my way of sharing my impressions and my thoughts on the story.
So, "Kitten's Exist" is about a man called Matthew, who reluctantly goes to therapy after his mother's strong request.
Why he goes there? Because he "had recently got back from a place that was taxing his soul" and his mental health had "insufficient funds to pay its taxes". What a description, right?
Anyway, when he walks into the therapist's office what he finds there surprises him, cause he doesn't find a human but a kitten! And the kitten cures him.
That's not the end of the story though, as Matthew returns in a week, only to find a human woman claiming to be his actual therapist. Things progress from there but I'm not telling you more. You've got to read the story to find out what happens next.
What I got from the story is how wisdom and comfort can come from unexpected places and how sometimes rigid structures are just that. Rigid. Cold. Unfeeling. I think that the kitten symbolizes purity for one, non judgmental support and maybe the idea that healing doesn't always follow strict guidelines.
Now, maybe it's just a funny, crazy story to read and enjoy! Who knows? I don't!
I certainly found it hilarious and freeing and I really enjoyed narrating it.
