I have to start by saying I don't like cats in general. In fact, I don't like animals in general. I know - I'm a monster! Actually, I'm not. I'm allergic to cats and cockroaches and dogs. I have a phobia of birds. I have horrible memories of the smell of horse poop in the NYC summers around Central Park. Etc. I have my reasons to prefer admiring, respecting, and fearing animals from a distance. I also will defend animal rights. I detest furs. I am saddened by zoos. I am angered by animal shows where bird wings are clipped or elephants are shackled. (See? I'm not a monster!)
This book is about the 20 years of love the author has for her cat from the time she finds it as a kitten to the time the cat takes its last breath. While I cannot imagine caring for a cat to the extent she did, I certainly can imagine doing that for someone I love (because I did - for my mom while she was receiving hospice care). In comparison to pet owners in the US, I think most of us would view her choices as cruel, but culturally speaking euthanizing pets is less common than in the US. So I urge US readers to refrain from judging the author but rather, reading the book with a heavy dose of compassion.
It's a beautiful story. I could never do it for a pet, but that's because of all the reasons stated above. However, I think pet owners, especially those who love their cats, will have a great appreciation for this book.

Mornings Without Mii is beautifully heartbreaking and intimate. It reminds me of how much I love my own cats!
I loved how to author incorporated poems at the end of each chapter. She really taps into how pets can stay through so many different chapters of your life. Its so bittersweet.
I DID cry at the end when Mii passed away, even though I knew it was coming all along……
