The perfect Christmas gift for cat lovers.
It was the end of summer, 1977. I found a cat, a little ball of fluff. A teeny tiny baby kitten.
A beloved Japanese modern classic about our special connection with cats, and how they can change our lives over the course of a lifetime.
For the last twenty years, Japanese readers have been falling in love with Mayumi Inaba’s story of life with her cat Mii, after she rescued her as a newborn kitten from a riverbank in Tokyo.
We follow their everyday joys through the seasons, as Mayumi develops her career as a writer and finds her feet in life, with her small feline always at her side.
Mornings With My Cat Mii lovingly chronicles Mayumi and Mii’s unshakeable twenty-year bond, meditating on solitude, companionship, the writing life, and how we care for our cats as they grow older.
Translated into English for the first time by world-renowned translator Ginny Tapley Takemori, this beloved Japanese modern classic is a celebration of how a cat can change our lives forever.
'Gentle, meditative... Cat lovers, prepare to weep' The Times, Book of the Month
