I love a fantastical, intersecting collection of vignettes. My main issue is that all these stories with female human protagonists is written by a man.

Though I suppose the primary perspectives are all cats.

Four intertwined short stories about women who adopt cats. I enjoyed the different points of view, including the cats' own lives. The first 2 stories were not too interesting, but the last 2 made up for it, and the ending tied everything together well. Overall, an enjoyable slice-of-life story with many moments of reflection.

5.0

A lovely small book with great short stories.

I really enjoyed the mix of human and cat point of views. I also loved how

each story was connected

which made the epilogue all the more cuter.

While some of the content was heavy (e.g. death and mental health), it is written with such compassion.

A must read, especially for cat lovers.
