From Wikipedia:
I Am a Cat (Japanese: 吾輩は猫である, Hepburn: Wagahai wa Neko de Aru) is a satirical novel written in 1905-1906 by Natsume Sōseki about Japanese society during the Meiji period (1868-1912); particularly, the uneasy mix of Western culture and Japanese traditions.
Sōseki's title, Wagahai wa Neko de Aru, uses a very high-register phrasing more appropriate to a nobleman, conveying grandiloquence and self-importance. This is somewhat ironic, since the speaker, an anthropomorphized domestic cat, is a regular house cat of a teacher, and not of a high-ranking noble as the manner of speech suggests.

This video is the first chapter. Originally, Souseki wrote this as a complete story. His editor, however, convinced him to continue the story. We may record future chapters if there is demand for it.
