If you want some help on the first sentence, I'd translate it as such:

"I feel that the method used to feel the change of seasons varies from person to person, but in the case of myself for the past half year, the tendencies of my three colored house cat named Shamisen are some of the easiest clues to understand."

hope that gives you some insight =p really complicated first sentence =/ maybe if i'm too far off i'll just quit(posting), but i'd like to try to aid in translation to further my japanese, as opposed to just trying to decipher it without writing anything down =p

the shamisen part is hard because you have to word it correctly or else it becomes too wordy and just doesn't read well. he says "ie de katteiru mikeneko shamisen" which literally translates to "the three colored cat that i'm raising at home named Shamisen", but it's best expressed as 'my three colored house cat named Shamisen' since it expresses the fact that it's his pet and is raised at home. perhaps "my calico house cat named Shamisen" or, "my calico house cat, Shamisen,". i'm not sure how you translators feel about freely adding commas.

the really complicated part comes after that. i'm done with the first clause, but the second says

"daga nekoijyou ni kisetsu ni binkan nano ha kankyou hendou he no taiou ni kanshin suru hodo seikaku ni jyunjiru shokubutsutachi darou to omoitsutsu,"
which I believe translates to
"however, I also think that which is more attuned to the seasons than a cat are probably the plants which follow environmental change so accurately that they can be praised for their relation to it,"

what a stupid, trite paragraph. even if that's not the correct translation i hope it helps someone understand it, because i think i probably look like the image on the top left of the screen(except dozens of times more manly, of course).
is there anyone who'd like to discuss this?

I think that currently,
"For all of you who want to be able to feel the seasons change, I have noticed, in this last half-year, that the tri-coloured cat Shamisen knew it best."

seems a little inaccurate, and should be:

"I feel that the method used to feel the change of seasons varies from person to person, but in the case of myself for the past half year, the tendencies of Shamisen, the three colored cat[maybe this should just be edited to "calico cat"] I've been raising at my house, are some of the easiest clues to understand."
