It is one of those books wherein I had to stop and take a pause from reading as I was doing my best to hold back my tears! I own several cats and I also used to own a dog (he already passed), and this book really hits home! I immediately purchased Goodbye Cat of Hiro Arikawa in the middle of reading this book. I love it very much. :")
