...5) 我是猫
《我是猫》的写作角度很新颖，从一只猫的视角来观察身边的人和事。这只猫生活在一个教师家中，见识了形形色色各种文人：没心没肺无厘头，唯恐天下不乱的迷亭；古板又一丝不苟，有点不知变通的寒月；理想主义，空有理论不实践的独仙......当然还有猫咪的主人，迂腐没耐心，做事三分钟热度，自命清高的苦沙弥。在猫的眼里，这些人聚在一起成天讨论些没意义的事情，不满现实，也就只会抱怨，像苦沙弥，被私塾的学生恶作剧整得苦不堪言，被邻居嘲笑，却都无可奈何。同时，猫咪也见识到了与苦沙弥不同阶级的另外一些人：一心想把女儿嫁出去，势利眼的"大鼻子"，资本家金田的老婆；跟老婆一个鼻孔出气，知道苦沙弥挖苦阻挠女儿的婚事后还派人陷害的资本家金田；还有一群穷苦出生，为金钱所动，帮助金田家嘲笑陷害苦沙弥的邻居......这些人在猫咪看来也是丑恶不堪的。
