Felix by Felix the Saiz book is at the center of a paradox. Cats, so individualistic, cats we pretend to love for their independent nature, are suddenly so much missed .
Once gone missing, they cease to represent triumphant freedom, going about carefree from one block to another, from courtyards to gardens, each time a secret expedition.
