"Year of the Cat" is a captivating oil painting that invites the viewer to create their own story. The "female facets" lady with her two skintones stands for diversity and unity, she lives in every woman. The woman gazes into vastness, her expression imbued with a sense of contemplation and introspection. The letter and the rose might be from her distanced lover, next to her the cup of black coffee, tenderly stroking a black cat.
In the Chinese Zodiac people also often look to the zodiac year, hence the man in the song can not fight his urges for this women, because it's 'the year of the cat'. It's a metaphor for the time he was seduced by this women, the women being symbolized with the cat."
