The Cat of Oblivion

Don't look into the eyes of a white cat. You only have to look at those saucer-like eyes for ten seconds - and your own will forget you and strangers will stop noticing you! You will disappear from social networks, from school lists, from the memory of your own parents - and become an invisible person.
Gosha didn't believe in this urban legend until a white cat crossed his path. The boy looked into the cat's bottomless eyes - and lost everything: friends, school, home. But it turns out that he is not the only one in such trouble - the unfortunate have already united into a large community and are looking for a way out of the situation together. But one of them has been living in the House of the Forgotten for fifteen years...
The collection called "The Cat of Oblivion" also includes the story "Strawberries for the Mermaid" - a poignant tale, or maybe a realistic story about a boy named Venka. He was taken from an orphanage to a new family - and one that resembles pictures from a collection of fairy tales rather than real people. But a fairy-tale life does not mean a fairy-tale life...
The story of "The Cat of Oblivion" is unusual: the story was born thanks to a game that children's writers organized in a group on a social network. The authors came up with and gave each other absurd titles for which they had to write a text - and Antonina Malysheva (born in 1990) derived an interesting philosophical plot from the ridiculous title she received. As a result, the manuscript made it to the finals of the "Kniguru" award and found many fans!
