i liked this book, it was short (only 140 pages) and sweet in its simplicity. she and her cat tells the story of four women who find themselves connected through their cats. we switch between the perspective of the cats and their owners.
she and her cats, tackles the themes of loss, death, s.a and depression so please be aware before you read this that whilst it for me was a warm a cosy read it may not be for you.
i gave it four stars because i didn't click with the third story where the woman falls into depression (in my opinion) but then the cat is what pulls her out of it, for me it kind of brushed over the a to b of overcoming depression in favour of showing the significance of the cat.
overall, a short and sweet read.

me parece genial que el autor haya querido tocar temas profundos e importantes como el duelo, la dificultad de expresar sentimientos, el deseo de vivir de tu arte, entre otros. también fue interesante poder ver tanto el punto de vista de las chicas, pasando y viviendo esas emociones, como de los gatos que lo describían de una manera más objetiva (aunque algo limitada, debido a su naturaleza animal). creo que el concepto del libro podría haber sido increíble e incluso desarrollarse más, hasta llegar a ser una buena novela.
sin embargo, todo hubiese sido mucho mejor si la historia no hubiese estado escrita por un hombre. es una pena porque podría haber sido una historia muy bonita, en la que partimos de un par de personajes y luego nos centramos en otros interrelacionados con ellos. pero, no sé, hubieron muchas cosas que me chirríaron... chobi refiriéndose a miyu como su novia, la relación de chobi y mimi y, en general, la representación femenina. se notaba bastante que los personajes femeninos están escritos por un hombre, que definitivamente debió haberse puesto en contacto con mujeres para que le revisaran ciertos aspectos de la historia.
