CRIED

Edit: okay here is my more coherent review. The first two stories I absolutely adored, but the sleep deprivation made it to where I didn't really feel for the other two parts. I plan to go back and reread them so I can properly rate this but overall the writing was great and the stories were sweet even in their sad moments.

thought it was cute but a bit too cluttered for my liking, would have loved it if the story focused on Chobi tbh

I usually love stories about cats and they work very well for me. However this one was meh, I didn’t connect much with any of the character. Still a cute, quick read

Since i officially consider myself a cat lady now - or at least a cat appreciating person lol - i had to grab this when i saw it in the bookstore. Finde die Rückseite noch cuter als das Cover. 

It‘s really short but really simple-cute and i liked that. What you see is what you get: a calming, cute little cat-cat-owner story bzw. a few of these which intertwine, that‘s cute. 

Ich fand‘s immer wieder cute die Wahrnehmung der jeweiligen Katze von ihrer Besitzerin zu hören und wie appreciative sie oft waren. Und der Wechsel hin zur Erzählung aus der Sicht des Menschen hat das immer schön ergänzt. 


„She spent almost all the time in bed with her eyes closed and slept as much as we cats do. Where she was different to a cat was that she often wept. …I didn‘t even know why Aoi was so sad. I sometimes cried because I missed Mama, but I wasn‘t sad all the time like she was. It was depressing to see her like that. I spent the first winter of my life mostly holding my breath in that room.“

This book is extremely wholesome. It is 4 short stories of cats that live in the same town and how they become friends and how through their cat antics their owners all meet and become friends and develop relationships. Each story is written in both perspectives of each cat and their owners. I really enjoyed the addition of the dog being the wise overseer of all of the town cats and how his character helped to intertwine all of their stories.
