<p> This is a picture book with many pictures of cats playing &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, I don&#8217;t know&#8221;.</p>
<p> Of course, they don&#8217;t really play &#8220;I&#8217;m not there&#8221;. I chose pictures of cats that look like they are doing it. In fact, this was the hardest part!</p>
<p> The pictures where they are playing &#8220;Iinae Iinae&#8221; are the ones where their faces are hidden, or they are hiding behind something, or they are looking back.</p>
<p> A &#8220;meow&#8221; photo is a photo of a cat with a face or pose that makes you laugh.</p>
<p> &#8220;In order for &#8220;I am not here, I am not there, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here.</p>
<p> However, if there is a picture of &#8220;Iino Iino&#8221; but no &#8220;Nyaa (=baa)&#8221;, or if there is a picture of &#8220;Nyaa (=baa)&#8221; but no &#8220;Nyaa (=baa)&#8221;, or if there is a picture of &#8220;Nyaa (=baa)&#8221; but no</p>
<p> &#8220;In other words, even if I look at thousands of photos, I can only find one or two cases.</p>
<p> At first, I thought that if the pattern was the same, it could be another cat, or if it was the same cat in a different place, it would be fine, but if it was not in the same scene, there was no continuity and it did not look like it was doing &#8220;Ii-ii-nya&#8221; (=baa) at all.</p>
<p> This picture book contains the best shots selected from tens of thousands of cat photos taken over a period of about six months.</p>
<p> Please enjoy the &#8220;I&#8217;m not here, I&#8217;m not here, I&#8217;m not here&#8221; with the wild and open expression that only a Sotoneko can give!</p>

<p> Finally, I&#8217;d like to show you a special &#8220;I&#8217;m not here&#8221; photo that was not included in the picture book for this article!　This photo is of the &#8220;ugly cute&#8221; cat &#8220;Inai Inai&#8221; that adorns the cover page of this picture book. In fact, I wanted to include this combination, but the face had such a strong impact that I cried and took it off the inside page for the cover.</p>
