This one wasn't for me. I've read several Japanese books in this sort of genre: One new main character per chapter with a huge problem that is fixed by the end of the chapter. Cats can be wonderful companions, but it's irresponsible to say that "prescribing" a cat for a certain number of days will solve deep psychological problems. It's also insanely irresponsible to just hand a cat in a carrier to someone and expect the cat to be ok.  
The explanation of the mysterious doctor and receptionist at the end were completely disappointing to me.
