This looked like a really random story, but it was one of the few available on my library app, so I thought I'd give it a go. It tells the story of an artist, Ameya, who is grieving his dead cat when he finds a new cat to care for. He considers his cats as basically human and the art style reflects this, morphing them into human form in some scenes as we see them from Ameya's point of view.

This is very much a slice-of-life type of story. Very little actually happens, but it is a nice enough read. Watching Ameya drive his agent, Ms Chacha, mad reminds me of Shigure from Fruits Basket. I liked seeing his old students pop into the story briefly, they were funny.

The art style is pretty nice, although not one that I favour. This wasn't the best story ever, but I liked it enough to continue with the series for now.
