"It doesn't matter whether a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice" is a quote attributed to Deng Xiaoping, the target of countless interpretations, all related to attributes of pragmatism and effectiveness.
In “As long it catches mice” the cat decorations on the characters mock the fact that today's humans are not very dynamic cats given the technological facilities that surround them.
