Aggressively heterosexual cats and cringefail humans combine in this chill collection of random life stories. I'd only recommend it if you're really bored.

Four stories of how cats and humans find each other when they most need it, written both from the cats’ and humans’ perspectives. These are also interlinked stories, forming a fully formed picture of a neighborhood. The writing isn’t anything spectacular, neither really are the stories plot wise, but they’re sweet in their simplicity and I like how the execution doesn’t distract from the cat - human relationships.
She and Her Cat is actually a collaboration between the filmmaker Makoto Shinkai and writer Naruki Nagakawa, each story having an illustration by Shinkai. These, I think, elevate the stories a notch.

This was...oddly mysoginistic?
The cats treat their female owners like their "girlfriends", even going as far as "rejecting" other female cats in order to prioritise their "girlfriend". They also make comments about their appearance, their lack of make up use and the story overall makes very pointed comments about women needing a man, needing to be saved, needing to be taken care of.
This might be a case of a style of writing that translates poorly into english, but I really didn't enjoy this at all. It really annoyed and angered me. I sincerely do not recommend it.

A slice-of-life story exploring loneliness, depression and anxiety. I enjoyed the tone and found myself underlining phrases - it's a comforting read!
However, the human POV felt a bit one-dimensional, like 'men writing women'... but the cat's POV slapped.
