The perfect gift for cat lovers, now in paperback: a beloved Japanese modern classic about our special connection with cats, and how they can change our lives over the course of a lifetime
'Heartwarming...a beautiful read for cat lovers everywhere' My Weekly
'A great love story... reveals the profound respect, and compassion, that a friendship with an animal can inspire in a human being' Sigrid Nunez, New Yorker
It was the end of summer, 1977. I found a cat, a little ball of fluff. A teeny tiny baby kitten.
The Japanese poet Mayumi Inaba first encountered her adorable cat Mii when she rescued her as a kitten from a riverbank in Tokyo. Mornings With My Cat Mii is the story of their cherished life together. 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.
Mayumi lovingly chronicles their unshakeable bond, meditating on companionship, how we care for our cats as they grow older and how they care for us in return. This beloved modern classic is a celebration of our special connection with cats, and how a cat can change our lives forever.
'Beautiful... Inaba is writing about love, the sort of love one could equally have for a human companion' Nicky Harman, Books on Asia
