We'll Prescribe You a Cat
by Syou Ishida
Cats for the cure (6/9/2024)
This is a delightful book and an easy read. I initially though the chapters, which are the prescribed cats' names, were going to be individual stories but they are chapters that build into one overarching story. It's clear the author knows and loves cats and, as a recent and accidental convert from a dog owner to a cat owner, I smiled at the characteristics these cats share with mine, for instance, the zoomies, furniture clawing and, of course, purring. A cat's ability to insinuate herself into our lives and hearts is clearly depicted; they aren't pets, they are family. The cat's purr is known to be therapeutic (see the Oryx and Crake trilogy by Margaret Atwood), so prescribing a cat is a medically sound decision!
