It's been said that government is like fire; too much and you burn everything down, too little and you might freeze to death. With Prince Shotoku's passing, the imperial court in Japan has started to get a little fire-y, so it's up to some determined cats to reign it in with the Taika reform.
Sometimes even cats have trouble 
landing on their feet.
Los gatos no siempre caen de pie.
Às vezes acontece de
gatos não caírem de pé.
