I read a different author's cat memoir earlier in the year, and was upset by that writer's focus on her pets' ill-health and deaths, frequently caused by her own neglect.
This book is somewhat more balanced in following Mii's life from kittenhood, through 20 years of companionship, inevitably dealing with illness and death, so not for anybody likely to be distressed by such detailed descriptions.
What really distinguishes it from that other ⬇️

Bookwomble ... book is Inaba's ability to more clearly centre her cat's needs as distinct from her own, though I would have made different choices on several occasions.
Inaba also shares something of her own life, including the breakdown of her marriage, so it's a more rounded book, and is a bittersweet description of a life spent together.

Having just bailed on a self-help book, let's see how I get on with (yet another) author's cat memoir! 😸
