This my first time reading the author's work despite him being super popular internationally. I was super excited when I first started reading this book.
She and Her Cat consisted of 4 interlinking short stories and all of them were told from the pets' perspectives set in a small neighbourhood on the outskirts of Tokyo. The setting was pretty chill and simple with slice of life plots that felt comfortably familiar to my own environments.
This was my first time reading from the pets's view about their companions and surroundings. It felt refreshing and unique to know how the author interpret their emotions and how ours impacted theirs. I was attracted to Chobi and his relationship to Miyu, his companion. Although there were some complexity when Chobi claimed that his human companion was his girlfriend, I do find his relationship with the other cat, Mimi cute and earnest.
All in all, She and Her Cat is a very calming and sentimental book with a few lessons to be learned. This book is very straight forward but has a very beautiful tone to it which I find could be accessible to younger readers as well.
Thank you Times Reads for the review copy!

I liked this book because it had the perspective of the cats' and their owners too. This book talks about their problems and also the mundane. I thought it was great that the author was able to get into the point of view of the different ages of cats and their living situations.
I felt that the owners were also going through struggles and their cats not only were trying to help them but also wanting to understand their human behaviors as well.
This book has a resolve for each story. It had no cliff hangers which is nice!
The spirit of Jon is awing!

A sweet and uncomplicated book that I read in 2 sittings. Loved the crossover of characters in each story and the changes in narrator between cat and human.
