If Cats Disappeared from the World by Genki Kawamura

3.0

A man finds out he has only a few days left to live, so he makes an impulsive pact with the devil to remove things from the world in exchange for extra time to live. This isn't actually about cats, or anything else, disappearing from the world. It's really an introspection into the quality of life and what truly matters in one's world. The story is mostly about the man remembering his past and reflecting on the relationships he has had with the people (and a couple of cats) in his life. The devil set-up was random and far-fetched. I found some of the memory parts mundane and boring, and struggled a bit with the middle of the story. I did like the ending.
