A sweet little cosy short read. Love how all the cats were intertwined in all the humans stories and lives. Jon the dog was my favourite.

Book #7 of 2023.
What a delightful read!!
It did not pass my mind when picking this book up that it’s spun from the concept by the creator of anime such as Your Name and Weathering With You! Honestly this was a case of judging the book by its cover and being distracted by a cute cat on the cover…
She and Her Cat is a delight of a slice-of-life novel. Short and sweet and split up into smaller inter-connected parts, it’s a book that captured what is imagined to be the goings on in a cat’s head and the loneliness of people soon enhanced by the addition of pure love from their adopted pets.
There are no grand set-pieces, drama, arguments, gunfights, etc. Sometimes just like in the world of anime/manga, a cute chill slice-of-life than thrive in a book such as this.
Do I wish for more illustrations? Yes. Do I wish for more stories from this world? Potentially. But this short work fleshes out a neighbourhood and time and season simple yet effective.
Definitely something to curl up and read with a nice warm drink. There’s just something so comfortable of the unconditional care and love these cats have for their owners, the curiousity of the outside world, and how even the most isolated can still not be the most alone.

Den var cozy og alt, men eg falt litt ut noen ganger så den var ikkje så bra

Ayer terminé este pendiente que tenía en mi mesita de noche, siempre me ha encantado la literatura japonesa y al encontrarme con este libro en la librería me entró por los ojos, no lo voy a negar. Su autor es un prestigioso director de animación que hasta ahora había sido un desconocido para mí. La novela transcurre a través de cuatro relatos que están conectados o entrelazados por las vidas de los gatos, de los cuales el autor también nos mostrará su perspectiva (así como la de sus dueñas). Es una novela que no profundiza demasiado en los personajes sino que resulta más bien una lectura muy sencilla e incluso algo simple en determinados momentos. Me ha gustado leer sobre el paso de las estaciones a lo largo de los distintos relatos, aunque no he encontrado esa narrativa descriptiva tan característica que tanto me gusta de otros de mis autores japoneses favoritos. ¿Resulta entretenida? Sin lugar a dudas, pero los relatos se me han quedado cortos, cuando parecía que la narración iba cogiendo ritmo, comenzaba un relato distinto
