“And love, this magical thing that’s unique to human beings and can sometimes make us absolutely miserable, is also the thing that buoys the human spirit. Like time, color, temperature, and loneliness, love is one of those things that only humans experience. These things can rule over or control us, but they also allow us to live more fully. They are precisely what make us human.”
Ugh my heart. This was such a sweet, funny, and beautiful story. Maybe the translation is a little clunky but I also don’t care. I loved it.

Easy, quick read that has digestible messages about life. There are a variety of different messages to take away from this book, and it seems like it is all dependent on the reader’s point of view. Live life in the moment and don’t take anything for granted — everyday is a gift.
“It doesn’t take much time to realize that all life’s experiences eventually add up to one big inevitability.”
“Just being alive doesn’t mean all that much on its own. How you live is more important.”
“No one knows how much time they have on this earth. It could be a few days or it could be a few months. It’s the same for everyone…so there’s really no such thing as too late or too soon. Things happen when they’re meant to happen.”

A man finds out he has only a few days left to live, so he makes an impulsive pact with the devil to remove things from the world in exchange for extra time to live. This isn't actually about cats, or anything else, disappearing from the world. It's really an introspection into the quality of life and what truly matters in one's world. The story is mostly about the man remembering his past and reflecting on the relationships he has had with the people (and a couple of cats) in his life. The devil set-up was random and far-fetched. I found some of the memory parts mundane and boring, and struggled a bit with the middle of the story. I did like the ending.

- Diverse cast of characters? No

Boa premissa mas acho que fica um pouco a desejar. Queria mais. Meio aborrecido. As últimas páginas do penúltimo capítulo são muito cute
