Set in a newly developed residential area for families called Kohoku New Town, the story revolves around a young couple. When their community holds a special campaign to find foster parents for abandoned pets, the couple take a fancy to a cute cat. After much consideration, they decide against adopting the cat in the end, for they have just found out that the wife is pregnant. The play sheds light on the mixed feelings of joy and fear that the husband and the wife each experience. The pregnant wife wonders who has taken the cat under his/her wing.
This was the first work to be produced after Okada won the Kishida award.
