That's pretty much it.
Everyday we get treated to Li's quirky habits and interactions with her cat and boyfriend, usually involving cats in some way. It is pencil-drawn and very cute most of the time. Or always. It could be seen as a typical Slice of Life 4-panel comic, only sometimes it borders on the surreal.
