More about the book
It was the end of summer, 1977. I found a cat, a little ball of fluff. A teeny tiny baby kitten. The perfect gift for cat lovers: a beloved Japanese modern classic about our special connection with cats, and how they can change our lives over the course of a lifetime. For the last twenty years, Japanese readers have been falling in love with the late poet and prize-winning author Mayumi Inaba's story of life with her cat Mii, after she rescued her as a newborn kitten from a riverbank in Tokyo. 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. Mornings With My Cat Mii lovingly chronicles Mayumi and Mii's unshakeable twenty-year bond, meditating on solitude, companionship, the writing life, and how we care for our cats as they grow older. Translated into English for the first time by world-renowned translator Ginny Tapley Takemori, this beloved Japanese modern classic is a celebration of how a cat can change our lives forever.
