We'll Prescribe You a Cat

The story tells of how multiple different humans and those close to them become something more after being prescribed a cat from a mysterious shelter. There are some mystical elements about the cats and the shelter that were fascinating but overall I was here for the stories and watching the humans develop. The artistry of the cats helps allure you but I wouldn't say the focus is on the cats. I will say there are some emotional moments sprinkler throughout that surprised me and shook me (and made me hold my furry friends extra close too).

This is definitely an interesting story. I couldn’t put it down even though it’s not what I expected!! As a cat lover, I found it super intriguing and I loved the magical aspect to it!

Fun and easy reading. I use it in my English as a second language class. If you love cats, read this.

I purchased two of these. The book jackets on both were slightly damaged, one more than the other. Kind of a bummer because I am giving one as a gift.

I LOVE 💕🤩this book! I’m a cat lover. It’s fun for any animal lover. It’s composed of 4-5 short heartfelt and fun stories! I don’t know the author but I wanted to encourage her to write more of these books! I also thoroughly enjoyed book 2- “We’ll prescribe you another cat”. Please please write a third and fourth book….

I purchased this to have something to read on a plane. I believe I heard about it from a program on NPR and it sounded cute. Easy read and cute concept

I already want to hold my cat close, but this book makes me want to hold her tighter. One of the most wholesome reads. very funny, got a tear out of me. can’t wait for the third.

Cat lovers will enjoy this charming collection of stories about how cats can change lives. It is translated from the original Japanese and I think some things may have been lost in translation because some details in the story were sometimes unclear. However, overall, I'm glad I read the book and would be interested in reading the next in the series when it comes out. There is a bit of magical realism to the book which becomes more evident in the last story.

Autorka wychodzi poza znany nam schemat, gdzie w literackich kołderkach z Japonii wałkowany jest temat straty, a krąży wokół zdrowia psychicznego. Ujętego w sposób, który tkwi na granicy bagatelizowania, a wszystko dlatego że lekarstwem na problemy dzisiejszego świata okazują się... koty. Kim jednak jestem, by to kwestionować, skoro i w mojej terapii miały one znaczące miejsce? Ważne, że w tych opowiadaniach się sprawdzają, a klinika doktora Suda Kokoro nie jest kliniką psychiatryczną, więc nie oczekujemy od niej fachowego podejścia. Pojawia się i znika, znacząco odchodzi od normy. To miejsce niezwykłe, a niezwykłość ta nie jest niejasny pomysłem autorki i jej koncept ogólnie mi się spodobał. Jak cała reszta. Była to jedna z ciekawszych powieści z tej półki. A wydanie w twardej oprawie? PIĘKNE.

Ein sehr schönes Buch. Ich hab es meiner Freundin für einen Krankenhaus Aufenthalt geholt und sie hat sich sehr gefreut.

Was given to me as a gift, and I absolutely love it. More "mystical" than I expected, but in a very good way. Author clearly understands cats and their varying moods and characters, and the possibilities of finding love, happiness and comfort within yourself, when given the right circumstances. A wonderful, heartwarming, comforting book. Will now buy the next book.

An enjoyable book now passed throughout the family

I bought this book a while ago and finally got to read it. What great stories there are to read. You don't have to be a cat person to enjoy. I found myself learning some life lessons as I read the stories. I have enjoyed it so much that I am buying the 2nd book.
