I picked this up right after finishing a really emotional read and wanted something lighter to balance things out. This book delivers exactly that — a collection of short stories about people who visit a mysterious clinic and are “prescribed” cats instead of medicine. Each story explores a different kind of struggle, but the tone stays gentle and soothing throughout.

The writing is simple and comforting without being too plain, and it makes the whole book feel like a quiet reset. While a few of the stories follow a similar rhythm, I found it easy to relax into and enjoy. If you’re looking for something heartwarming to read between heavier books, this one is a great choice.
