Illustration: In the entrance of a Japanese house, a trail of muddy cat pawprints crosses the clean wooden floor from the open garden door to a low cupboard. Each print is distinct, with a damp clump of soil beside the first one. The cat is now perched on the cupboard, calmly licking a spotless front paw.
