Description
A whimsical and inventive debut, perfect for fans of The Guest Cat and If Cats Disappeared from the World. A young couple’s daily life is disrupted by their newly adopted cat, who soon initiates them into the wondrous world of felines.
Every cat contains multitudes…
When a young couple accidentally comes into possession of a playful kitten, their daily routine (and cramped apartment) is turned upside down. Soon they find their existence forever altered.
Charting the couple’s ever-evolving relationship with cats – some they live with, others who exist only in their imagination – Invisible Kitties is a meditation on the quiet moments of everyday life and a celebration of cats in all their many forms.
Review
Well, it's certainly different!
I found this book too surrealist for my taste. Of course as it is translated from the Japanese I was expecting it to be different to western writing. At times it is more whimsical and that I was okay with. I can relate to some of the descriptions of cat behaviour and those I enjoyed.
I think you need to be a cat lover to even pick up this book. For many cat lovers it would be the perfect gift. It's a short read with lots of drawings and paw prints on the pages.
I'm giving this book 3 out of 5 stars. My thanks to netgalley for the ARC to review.
