The story is very interesting I like this dual point of view of the humans and cats. It's is a very inspirational book. And a very nice quick read. And I love that you can identify a lot with human problems. That normally as humans we can see.

4.0

Beautiful and austere, this book of four interconnected stories forms a whole novella. It’s about loneliness and grief, and about the joy we receive when we love a cat who loves us back. Each section is told in alternating voices, one human and one cat, and it’s a warm storytelling device, showing the cats’ lives to be as vibrant as those of the humans. Hard to read if you’re feeling melancholy but overall full of love and compassion.
