The Library Weekly Book Recommendations - KS5/Adult - The Goodbye Cat by Hiro Arikawa

Image
  Against changing seasons in Japan, seven cats weave their way through their owners' lives ... A needy kitten rescued from the recycling bin teaches a new father how to parent his own human baby; a colony of wild cats on a holiday island shows a young boy not to stand in nature's way; a family is perplexed by their cat's devotion to their charismatic but uncaring father; a woman curses how her cat constantly visits her at night; and an elderly cat, Kota, hatches a plan to pass into the next world as a spirit so that he and his owner may be together for ever. Bursting with empathy and love,  The Goodbye Cat  explores the unstoppable cycle of life as we see how the steadiness and devotion of a well-loved cat never lets us down. A huge bestseller in Japan, every page is a joyous celebration of cats and how we cannot resist sharing our lives with them. Includes seven beautiful cat-drawings.
