It’s time to look at the book I read in November! I received an advanced copy of this book to review. It will be available to purchase/download on February 25, 2025. This is all in my own words and my own opinions.
The Blanket Cats by Kiyoshi Shigematsu
★★★★
A unique pet shop in Tokyo offers a special opportunity for customers to take home “blanket cats”, but only for three days. Seven customers, with different situations, take home seven special cats, whose “magic” isn’t promised, but seems always to be received. When each cat is taken home, there are rules: they must always have their distinct blanket, they can only eat the food provided by the pet shop, and they can only stay for three days.
These seven customers hope a temporary feline companion can bring them some joy. The different situations range from infertility to running from the police, and other difficult life circumstances. But like all cats, these blanket cats are mysterious and have their own agenda and expectations. Is three days enough to change a life or how these customers see life?
