★ Life lessons taught to us by cats.
★ 12 unique stories and memories from different cat guardians.
★ A book that permits grief and fosters healing.
★ Essential reading for pet owners and animal lovers.

This is a non-fiction, illustrated collection of twelve stories. The protagonists are at different life stages, grappling with various troubles, yet they share one common thread: each has formed a bond with one or several cats and has experienced the final farewell of saying goodbye.

Life and death are unavoidable subjects for everyone. For the characters in these stories, it is their cats who initiated this profound life education. Avoiding forced happy endings or deliberately amplified pain, the authors simply face life head-on and allow space for sorrow. This act of acknowledgment and permission itself contains immense healing power.

Now, this book finally has the chance to reach your hands. The stories within, combined with the interactive section at the end, converge into a stream of warmth within our vast era.
