Solid 3 stars. This a cute book, about a clinic, well, you get the idea. The idea is what drew me to this book, as well as the book being set in Japan.
This is a quick read, and does not overload your brain.
The prose is quite cinematic and easy-to-follow. I highly recommend this book, although my preferences and expectations were towards a more magical realism and in-depth, complex, funny style and plot.

first things first, i am in love with the name of this book. that is what caught my attention. and the idea of having a cat prescribed to you sounds so good.

as for the plot, it was heart warming. the first and the last story were my favourite though. especially the last one where everything was explained. but i liked how each one of them had a lesson in it. cats can really help a person and they can be such great companions (i have 2 so i know 🧡🩶).

i think there is going to be a series. and that means more books in this world 🥹can’t wait to read them.

thanks to netgalley and the publishers for the copy!

I expected to love this book because I usually enjoy heartwarming and encouraging stories and even more so when they include animals. However, this book sort of fell flat for me. I found myself skimming pages after a while and frankly found it a bit boring. So it wasn’t my cup of tea but I‘m sure other will enjoy it more than I did.

I really thought I would love this book as a cat lover and someone who has 8 cats at home, but this was a bit boring to me and the dialogue felt odd; kind of stiff.

I appreciate the concept and I agree that this is very wholesome. It's a slice-of-life book about how cats are great and they help us or teach us things just by being cats. Every chapter focuses on a different character with a particular issue finding the clinic, and I like that. However, it just didn't hit for me.

I wasn't engaged and I didn't find the stories particularly interesting or funny or heartwarming. I loved the cats and their unique personalities, though. The illustrations were good too!

What a beautiful and heartwarming story! While the writing itself was a little unremarkable, the story was uplifting and hopeful. I really enjoyed the cats themselves as characters, although the ending left me a little confused. Still, a sweet and quick read that left me feeling happy.

Thank you NetGalley, Random House UK and Syou Ishida for providing this arc in exchange for a honest review.

‘Cats are more effective than any other medicine out there.’

This was such a cute book that is a must for any cat lover as this felt like a ode to cats everywhere. Every cat owner knows that when you feel down or tired or annoyed at the world the company of your cat helps you and this book puts to paper.

It’s a sweet, fast paced story with a strange mystical clinic that people find themself because they heard someone else talk about. They al start so skeptical but then they meet the cat…

I loved how this book felt like separate short stories that were still connected. A definitive must read for cat lovers everywhere.

I prescribe cats always so this book was perfect for me. Charming heartwarming stories with gorgeous pencil drawings of a mixture of beautiful cats. I love this book it was just what the doctor ordered. Would make a lovely cat for all the cat people in your life.
