Japan, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Fiction in translation, Cats as pets
An enduring classic of the Japanese Cat Book genre, adapted for TV and available in English for the first time.
Is three days with a cat enough to change your life?
The troubled and anxious of Tokyo are desperate to find out. They all have their problems - and they all want to believe that a temporary feline companion from a unique pet shop can help them find a solution. Or at least provide a few days' relief and distraction.
But, like all their kind, the Blanket Cats are mysterious creatures with their own unknowable agendas, who delight in confounding expectations. And perhaps what their hosts are looking for isn't what they really need. Three days may not be enough to change your life. But it can be enough to change how you see it.
Translated from the Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood
