It's pretty cute. I wasn't aware it was a short story collection until I finished the first story, which the entire book is titled after, and at first I was a bit gutted because I was kinda of hoping for a story continuing off of that first one, but in the end I still enjoyed all this. Not all the stories are as good as each other, but they're still all good, and I really like that the last two are connected. I do wish I loved this book as much as I'd originally imagined I would, but it's okay, still very cute and I technically got what I asked for: a book about cats.
Moderate: Car accident, Death of parent, and Animal death
