The year is 1814. On the windswept, rugged shores of St. Helena, a stark orange cat stands in sharp contrast to the grey landscape. Surrounded by indifferent British feline officials, the small creature is led away in solemn exile. A muffled, frustrated French murmur escapes its lips—*“Pourquoi ai-je perdu?”*—a comical yet poignant sound that highlights the absurdity of a cat burdened by the weight of historical defeat.
