Field notes
The page traces the project from observations of cats at friends’ homes and a stray-cat rescue to sketches for toys and structures. When some gathered materials were removed as waste during setup, Zheng continued with remaining supplies rather than deliberately buying replacements; children passing by joined the making and contributed drawings. The exhibition used stands, seating, floor, and walls, with nearby residents helping arrange it. One described object, a scratching board, uses old corrugated packaging.
