It was going to be fun, they said. I should read it, they said. Somehow I came in expecting a light Japanese novel from a cat's perspective, but I ended up sniffling back snot and tears in the middle of the night. I don't want to spoil anything because it's truly an experience getting into this blind. What a fascinating perspective on how life is short, from a creature that lives an even shorter life.
