The Goodbye Cat

The titular “The Goodbye Cat” and “Cat Island” are my favorite stories, although all the stories are heart-warming and centered around cats.

If you've read the author's “The Travelling Cat Chronicles,” you'll recognize some of the characters in “Finding Hachi” and “Life is Not Always Kind.” It's nice to get another point of view on those stories.

A few of the stories weren't fleshed out as well as I expected after the carefully-crafted “The Travelling Cat Chronicles.” This little book is still worth a read and will probably lift your spirits.
