  As technology continues to advance, the interaction between humans and cats
is becoming more diverse. Our research introduces a new tool called the AI Cat
Narrator, which offers a unique perspective on the shared lives of humans and
cats. We combined the method of ethnography with fictional storytelling, using
a defamiliarization strategy to merge real-world data seen through the eyes of
cats with excerpts from cat literature. This combination serves as the
foundation for a database to instruct the AI Cat Narrator in crafting
alternative narrative. Our findings indicate that using defamiliarized data for
training purposes significantly contributes to the development of characters
that are both more empathetic and individualized. The contributions of our
study are twofold: 1) proposing an innovative approach to prompting a
reevaluation of living alongside cats; 2) establishing a collaborative,
exploratory tool developed by humans, cats, and AI together.
