A cat reborn 1 million times

I bought a book for my kids. But it is not just for a kids, it is quite interesting story even for adults.

Let me introduce briefly the story.

The cat reborn 1 million times. He is beautiful striped cat.

One time he was a cat of the king. The cat don't like the king. The king loved the cat very much and he gave the cat anything he want.  When the cat died, the king cried but the cat don't care about it.

One time he was a cat of the magician. He don't like the magician. The magician loved him and acted magic with him. When the cat died, the magician cried, but the cat don't care about it.

One time he was a cat of the thief. He don't like the thief. The thief loved him and took him any time he break into the house. When the cat died, the thief cried, but the cat don't care about it.

Every time, everyone loved the cat. But the cat don't care at all.

One day, he met a white lady cat who don't care about the cat. The cat loved her. He show offed how much popular he is. However, She don't care about the cat. He finally said, "Can I sit close to you?" The lady cat just said "OK".

 The couple married and had some kids. The kids cats grown up and go away from the couple. The couple got old.

  One day the lady cat did't move at all. She was dead. The striped cat  cried. Cried for days. In the sadness, he was also dead.

  Since then, he have never reborned.

 

  What do you think the story? Do you got what it implies.

  See you.

 I think there is no correct answer for my question. Everybody feel each way from the books.

 My opinion is, in your life, to love someone is more important than to be loved.  

 True love and happiness is not be given, but give to somone else, then you'll be happy.

 It is just my opinion.

The cat had learned that power and money were not the most important things in life.  Also, magic and falseness were useless.   Even worse - dishonesty should be avoided.  The cat finally learned that true friendship, love and respect must be earned and not bought.  After the cat had experienced real love and made a family he felt life had been fulfilled and he could finally die in peace.  So, here is a question for you, if you don't mind.  What is your interpretation of the story?  Just curious

My opinion, the writer would like to say the cats never love and care of people who feed them and stay with them. But I don't agree with the writer. I have cats. I know they love me.

Just my opinion, I may misunderstand Laughing
