The Goodbye Cat is absolutely beautiful, with seven different stories about different cats. All of them are written differently, with some being through the eyes of the cat and others being through the eyes of people. It’s such a wonderful book that reflects on how important pets (and especially cats) can be in one’s life. It’s such a beautiful portrayal of non-romantic love, altruism, and it’s a celebration of life — even those lives that are unextraordinary or shorter than most.
I only didn’t give it a 5-star rating because that would imply that I had enjoyed it as much as I did the Travelling Cat Chronicles, and in all honesty, that would, frankly, be impossible.
