耍廢貓的日常快閃店 / A pop-up store all about lazy-cat daily life

在這個節奏越來越快的時代，人們都在追求效率、成就和速度，希望能用最少的時間，完成最多的任務，所以，下班後，大多精疲力竭，不少人會選擇躺在沙發上滑手機、追劇或發呆不想動，笑稱在「耍廢」，雖然帶著一點自嘲意味和負面情緒，但也是一種追求放鬆悠閒的生活態度。

耍廢貓的創作者，把人們喜愛的「貓咪」及「耍廢」結合起來，創作出這個讓人羨慕的角色，想一想，耍廢幾乎就是貓咪們的日常，每天早上，人們出門上學或上班時，貓窩在柔軟的貓窩裡睡覺，晚上回到家時，貓已經躺到沙發上，像一團柔軟毛球，偶爾翻個身，肚子朝上，四隻腳隨意伸展，等我們上床睡覺時，牠會靜靜地窩在床邊，看著我入睡，然後悄悄跟著閉上眼睛，貓的一天，好像就是睡覺、換地方、再睡覺，無所事事的過了一天，貓真是太爽了。

我認識耍廢貓，是從朋友使用的貼圖上認識的，有位朋友常常買貼圖，他幾乎可以用貼圖來完整表達心情，從早安到晚安，到喜怒哀樂或網路梗，什麼情境都有對應的圖，我還記得，他用耍廢貓的「我就廢」貼圖來回應別人的建議，讓人又好氣又好笑，也讓整個討論變得輕鬆起來，也認識了耍廢貓這個貓咪角色。

這個快閃店是以傳統廟口美食與攤位文化為靈感，把快閃店佈置成貓咪們經營的小攤市集，經營者真的是很會說故事，然而，還是賣文創小物，但是，人們只要認同耍廢貓表達的放鬆悠閒的生活態度，或許就想要買點喜歡的商品，那是一種「我懂你」的共鳴感覺，其實，我認為大部份的人都是喜歡悠閒度日的，耍廢不只是一種生活態度，更可以說是人性的一部分。

In today’s fast-paced world, everyone’s chasing efficiency, achievements, and speed. We all want to get as much done as possible in the shortest time. That’s why, after work, most people are completely drained. A lot of us just end up lying on the couch scrolling through our phones, binge-watching shows, or zoning out, jokingly calling it “being lazy”. Even though it sounds a little self-deprecating and carries some negative vibes, it’s actually a way of seeking relaxation and a laid-back lifestyle.

The creator of “Lazy Cat” combined people’s love for cats with the idea of “being lazy” and came up with this envy-worthy character. When you think about it, laziness pretty much is a cat’s daily routine. Every morning, when people head off to school or work, the cat is still curled up in its soft little bed, fast asleep. By the time we come home at night, it’s already sprawled out on the sofa like a fluffy furball. Sometimes it rolls over, belly up, with all four legs stretched out wherever they please. And when we finally go to bed, it quietly curls up at the edge of the bed, watching us fall asleep before gently closing its own eyes. A cat’s whole day is basically just: sleep, change spots, sleep again. Doing nothing all day… honestly, cats have it really good.

I first came across Lazy Cat through a friend’s stickers. This friend of mine buys stickers all the time. He can practically communicate his entire mood just through them. From “good morning” to “good night”, from joy and sadness to internet memes, he’s got a sticker for every situation. I still remember when he replied to someone’s suggestion with a Lazy Cat sticker that said, “I’m just lazy”. It was both irritating and hilarious, and it instantly lightened up the conversation. That was when I really got to know this Lazy Cat character.

There was even a pop-up shop inspired by traditional temple food stalls and night market vibes, decorated like a little street market run by cats. The organizers are great at storytelling, but of course, at the end of the day, they’re still selling cultural merchandise. Still, as long as people relate to the relaxed lifestyle Lazy Cat represents, they’ll want to pick up some merch. It creates that feeling of, “I get you”. Honestly, I think most people do prefer to live easy and carefree. Being lazy isn’t just a lifestyle—it might actually be part of human nature.
