It made me smile, wish I could be owned by a kitten too, and loved it. It's a series of sweet short stories, perfect for cat lovers.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Sue-Chan is a 17 year old tiger cat, happy to sleep most of the day away, until her owner is forced to take in a kitten, Tai-Chan, who doesn't want to sleep all day. What kitten would want to do that? She wants to play and play and play.

So this volume is about that. Really, the whole book is ways that Tai-Chan tries to get Sue-chan to play when she wants to sleep.

It is cute, and very much keeping cat light, though we can read their thoughts. If you have ever had an older cat with a kitten, the antics are very familiar.

Very cute book.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This was a cute and short read about and older cat Sue being introduced to Tai-chan, the kitten Sue's owner is taking care of. Sue has to put up with Tai's relentless energy while also reluctantly teaching him basic skills all cats need to know, like cleaning one's face. This is great for a fluffy light-hearted read. I'm not sure if I'll continue on with the series since I picked it up on a whim but it was cute.

Newcomer kitten Tai-chan is a ball of energy while Sue is a 17-year-old senior cat. What happens when they end up living together under one roof?

Gosh, this was sooo freaking cute and adorable! I dare you to read it and not feel happy. Both cats are so precious. I really enjoyed seeing all the mischief and mayhem that ensued

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.


When I saw this one pop up on Netgalley it was an instant click to request! I have heard tons about this series + I also love the other works by Kanata Konami (Chiiiiiiiii), so I just had to read this one~

In this one we meet an old cat named Sue and a young cat named Tai. Sue’s owner was “forced” to take upon a new kitty and well, what will the older cat think of it? It sounded adorable as heck, and I just loved their first meeting. Sue very much unsure about the little ball of fuzz suddenly making his way into her quiet life, but she is also curious and interested which I quite loved. Though if only Sue knew what the kitty would really mean, haha but she finds that out immediately in the first chapter! Sue just wants to sleep, but Tai is a tiny kitten and wants to PLAY! Energy levels over 9000! I just felt for poor Sue and was happy that the owner decided to pick up Tai so Sue could have some rest, good job!

And the following chapters are Sue realising that this tiny little kitten isn’t leaving any time soon and that she has to live with it during her precious old days of rest and quiet. I did love that she was meowing to it to teach it how to do things or to tell it not to do things. She was like a mom, or well, grandmom. XD I loved how she took Tai under her wing despite how much it tired her. She was so sweet for the little kitten and I loved it. She even does some naughty/agile things that even she wasn’t expecting to do.

It was just the cutest and most hilarious to see Tai discover the world and all that is in there. And as you can guess, it didn’t always go so well. XD From getting stuck in the curtains to balancing and rolling away on a watermelon. It was just adorable!

But dear owners, never give your cat milk! Give it special cat milk!!! Also I would definitely recommend that the owner keeps an eye on the food and who gets what. Maybe separate them during feeding so you know both get the right food. Also who leaves their bath filled with water when you have a kitten/cat? It was that Sue was there, but I wonder if Tai would have gotten out safely if Sue wasn’t there.

I also had to get used to the way of reading. Normally I am used to right > left for manga, but here it was the normal way aka left > right. Which confused me greatly as this is a manga.

The art was, just like the other manga by this artist, superdupermega adorable and I was constantly awww-ing and ohhh-ing.

All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this fun manga to all! It is cute, it makes you laugh, and the cats are great~ I cannot wait for the next volume!
