New Cat helps contain a fire in Mr. Kim's factory one night when she knocks over a bucket of tofu while chasing a mouse. Characterized by rounded shapes and solid black outlines, the illustrations of Mr. Kim's cat (and best friend) include one that slyly mimics Asian cat statues believed to bring their owners luck by inviting in new customers and friends. In both business and friendship, Mr. Kim's luck couldn't possibly be better.
