As someone who is nearly first and foremost a cat person and look at my cat and I as our own little family of two, I was very excited to read this book.
She and Her Cat is divided up into four short stories that all intertwine, told from the perspectives of the cats and the women and that come to be their owners. It does a great job showcasing the relationship that people have with their cats and the way that even though we don't /really/ know what our cats are saying to us, we know that they're talking to us in their own way. The way that they greet you at your front door and know just when you need their love and attention.
Chobi, Mimi, Cooki, and Kuro all bring a unique look at being a cat and how their lives and our own change when we take on caring for a cat and I will admit to tearing up a few times. The parts that really got me were right off with Chobi's introduction and then, of course, the end with Jon.
