If cats disappeared from the world was not entirely what I expected. Then again I wasn't sure what I thought before picking this up lol. A lovely story based on a young man who gets an awful diagnosis and then that night visited by the devil himself. The man strikes a deal to extend his life by one day. This story has several moments of heart warming moments and then heart wrenching in places (tears were shed at the end). I found I started to reflect on my own life more after reading this, the journey, highs and lows and wondered if I would have made the deal or not.
