The Travelling Cat Chronicles

I've been reading many books with cats in them this past month or so. When I started this one with a cat as the protagonist, I wasn't aware of how it would affect me. It sounded all fluffy and light to me.

This book is perfectly poignant and beautifully written. The bond between a pet and its owner is so wonderfully described. Arikawa captures the love of a feline for its owner so masterfully that you're left ‘awwing' at all the cuteness and bawling at all the sadnesses, all the while gaining a perspective that you might not have had otherwise.

I would recommend this book to animal lovers (specifically cat) as I'm unsure if others would enjoy it just as much as I did.

p.s. This book also helps restore some faith in humanity
