Doubleday. Paperback. NEW. In the heartwarming and uplifting novel, "The Goodbye Cat," written by the internationally acclaimed author, Hiro Arikawa, readers are transported to the enchanting world of cats and their relationships with their human owners. This touching story takes place against the backdrop of changing seasons in Japan, where seven cats embark on a journey that weaves through the lives of their diverse and often eccentric owners. The first feline protagonist, a needy kitten, is rescued from the recycling bin by a compassionate individual. In a heartwarming twist, the kitten becomes a catalyst for change, teaching a new father valuable lessons on parenthood and nurturing. As the kitten bonds with its human family, it demonstrates the profound impact that the love and care of a well-loved cat can have in enriching and guiding our lives. Another cat featured in the novel is an elderly feline with a unique plan to ensure eternal companionship with its beloved owner. This wise and crafty cat seeks to pass into the next world as a spirit, hoping to remain by its owner's side forever. This touching storyline delves into the complexities of love and loyalty, exploring the lengths to which we would go to stay connected to those we cherish. The narrative also introduces readers to a colony of wild cats residing on a holiday island. Through their adventures and encounters with a young boy, these cats teach the importance of respecting and preserving the natural world. This particular storyline sheds light on the delicate balance between humans and nature, emphasizing the detrimental impact that human interference can have on the harmonious coexistence of all creatures. The dynamics of family and the complexities of human relationships come to the forefront in the tale of a family perplexed by their cat's unwavering devotion to their charismatic yet seemingly uncaring father. This thought-provoking subplot explores themes of perception, loyalty, and the unbreakable bond between animals and their human counterparts. Additionally, the novel delves into the experiences of a woman who curses her cat for constantly visiting her during the night. This storyline delves into the mysterious and sometimes inexplicable behavior of cats, highlighting the peculiar and often unexplainable ways in which these creatures make their presence known in our lives. Throughout the pages of "The Goodbye Cat," readers are immersed in a world bursting with empathy and love. With her masterful storytelling, Hiro Arikawa shines a light on the unstoppable cycle of life and the unwavering devotion that well-loved cats bring into our lives. This bestselling novel in Japan is a celebration of the deep bond between humans and their feline friends, leaving readers with a renewed appreciation for the joy and companionship that cats offer. Complementing the heartfelt narrative are seven beautiful cat drawings, further immersing readers in the enchanting world of the protagonists. These illustrations bring the feline characters to life, adding an extra layer of charm and visual delight to the story. Readers around the world have embraced "The Goodbye Cat," praising its wonderful storytelling and the endearing portrayal of the cats within its pages. One reader describes the cats as charming and truly alive, while another compares the emotional impact of the novel to the author's previous work, "The Travelling Cat Chronicles." The story's ability to evoke tears of both sadness and joy has been lauded as a testament to its life-enhancing nature. In conclusion, "The Goodbye Cat" is a must-read for cat lovers and anyone seeking an enchanting and heartwarming tale. Hiro Arikawa's masterpiece captures the profound connection between humans and cats, highlighting the ways in which these beloved creatures enrich our lives, teaching us valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and the beauty of the natural world.
