FREAKY FLASH FRIDAY: Planet of Cats by Mu Hai

If there is love, they multiply infinitely. They need no air, no sunlight, not even rain or dew. Just pour affection on them, and the number of pet cats will explode.

In this year's Cat Census, Mr. Kino, who works at the space station, proudly took first place. Countless cats float around him, forming what looks like a small galaxy. The scene makes it seem as though the space station itself has transformed into a new planet of cats.

The cats dance lightly through the zero gravity of space, occasionally gazing down at Earth with a calm that seems to say, This is our new world now.

The universe, it seems, no longer belongs to human alone.
