We'll Prescribe You a Cat

I never really read books of this style, but ever since I adopted my first cat I was drawn to the book (especially by the title)! I completely resonate with the “patients” of the story. My cat feels like a prescription who healed me in many ways that are indescribable and unique to her. Just like this book: I can vividly picture the text and love the writing style. Everything about this was perfect. I loved it so much I preordered the second book right afterward. It’s an easy read that I didn’t want to put down :-). Good for cat lovers too!

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.

Enjoyable read. I loved seeing the cat owners grow and resolve issues in their lives. Still curious about the ending.

This is a magical realism book written very simplistically. Five different stories that somewhat intertwine about people with various issues that go to a very hard to find clinic that may or may not really exist. With each visit the doctor prescribes the person a cat to keep for a week or two. For the most part their issues resolve, thanks to now having had a cat in their lives. I liked the premise of the stories but never really connected or became invested in any of the characters, including the cats…and I like cats.

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….

Cat lovers will enjoy this book. Very unusual story line.

This is a very sweet book for adults; translated from Japanese. I've purchased several copies for friends. It's poignant and clever.

Lovely stories about individuals and how a cat may help them grow. I laughed. I cried. Best book I read this year.
