Note:
"A city cat, twilight casting its shadow at the doorway of a stranger. I live in Hollywood, in a part of the city that used
to be residential but is now in a state of change. There are a lot of stray cats in this neighborhood. The cats are forced
to survive on their own. The cities are in the same state of plight. I have used the stray cat as a symbol of what happens
to a city in decline and to its inhabitants--an electric neon existence of surviving at any cost--casting an uncertain shadow
to its future." A. Alferov.
