We’ll Prescribe You a Cat (We’ll Prescribe You a Cat, #1) by Syou Ishida; translated by E. Madison Shimoda
US pub date - 9/3/24
Japanese fiction, kitties, improving mental health, and magical realism are all things I enjoy. Combined together in one book, and I’m ready to read it.
We’ll Prescribe You a Cat was exactly what I wanted - cozy, heartwarming, and a great reminder in the true healing power of animals (sciences shows that spending time with and petting your animals lowers stress, blood pressure, heart disease risk, etc. and, to boot, a cat’s purrs are literally healing).
During my reading of this, I felt even more appreciative of our extremely wonderful indoor senior rescue - she pulls double duty, sleeping as well as being an emotional support / healing kitty and she does both jobs admirably.
I read this over one day and really enjoyed it.
Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the DRC
