This will be a short & sweet review because if I think about it too much I will start sobbing uncontrollably again.

Told through Nana the cat's eyes, this is a story of the depth and intensity of love between man & animal. As an animal lover & a cat fanatic, this story cut me to my core and reminded me just how important pets are to us & even more so how important we are to our pets.

Nana's perspective, tenacity, and confidence as the narrator is engaging, heart warming, funny, and pure. Satoro's determination to find the right place for Nana is informed by his past and by his unyielding love and respect for his cat.

Highly recommend, but if you're an animal lover bring the tissues with you.
