We'll Prescribe You a Cat

wonderful read. comfort book!

Cat lovers will enjoy this charming collection of stories about how cats can change lives. It is translated from the original Japanese and I think some things may have been lost in translation because some details in the story were sometimes unclear. However, overall, I'm glad I read the book and would be interested in reading the next in the series when it comes out. There is a bit of magical realism to the book which becomes more evident in the last story.

Such a cute book, luv it! I luv kitties! Will pass on to others in my family who luv kitties too!

I purchased two of these. The book jackets on both were slightly damaged, one more than the other. Kind of a bummer because I am giving one as a gift.

Absolutely charming storyline! Can’t wait yo read the next one!

I bought this book for my daughter who likes to read and loves cats. This book is a bestseller in Japan but the writing is different from what my teen likes. The stories are heart warming and they do involve human-cat interactions but I do not believe my daughter finish the book

The story tells of how multiple different humans and those close to them become something more after being prescribed a cat from a mysterious shelter. There are some mystical elements about the cats and the shelter that were fascinating but overall I was here for the stories and watching the humans develop. The artistry of the cats helps allure you but I wouldn't say the focus is on the cats. I will say there are some emotional moments sprinkler throughout that surprised me and shook me (and made me hold my furry friends extra close too).

I was very skeptical when I first selected this book. I can say now after finishing it, I am happy I put in the time. I think most will like this book. To see the story come full circle has truly satisfied my mind. Thank you for this enjoyable read. And thank you to all the Cats.

Autorka wychodzi poza znany nam schemat, gdzie w literackich kołderkach z Japonii wałkowany jest temat straty, a krąży wokół zdrowia psychicznego. Ujętego w sposób, który tkwi na granicy bagatelizowania, a wszystko dlatego że lekarstwem na problemy dzisiejszego świata okazują się... koty. Kim jednak jestem, by to kwestionować, skoro i w mojej terapii miały one znaczące miejsce? Ważne, że w tych opowiadaniach się sprawdzają, a klinika doktora Suda Kokoro nie jest kliniką psychiatryczną, więc nie oczekujemy od niej fachowego podejścia. Pojawia się i znika, znacząco odchodzi od normy. To miejsce niezwykłe, a niezwykłość ta nie jest niejasny pomysłem autorki i jej koncept ogólnie mi się spodobał. Jak cała reszta. Była to jedna z ciekawszych powieści z tej półki. A wydanie w twardej oprawie? PIĘKNE.

This book is lovely. The people in the story all have A problem coping in society or sleep deprived. They visit a hidden clinic and are given a shelter cat for 7 days.and then told to return it . They all end up keeping the cats . Beautifully. Written Story .

Absolutely loved this book and bought again for a friends birthday.

Ein sehr schönes Buch. Ich hab es meiner Freundin für einen Krankenhaus Aufenthalt geholt und sie hat sich sehr gefreut.

Was given to me as a gift, and I absolutely love it. More "mystical" than I expected, but in a very good way. Author clearly understands cats and their varying moods and characters, and the possibilities of finding love, happiness and comfort within yourself, when given the right circumstances. A wonderful, heartwarming, comforting book. Will now buy the next book.
