Back at it again with another Japanese short story collection about cats. This one was told through the eyes of the cats themselves. These stories have that iconic Japanese sadness to them. A mix of whimsy with depression. I thought the stories were entirely disconnected, but there were a couple that tied together. This was a good, short read. I enjoyed it!
