A Man and His Cat 01

very cute great book makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I read or even look at it

I downloaded the sample and was instantly hooked; As a cat lover who has only ever owned rescues, I instantly nearly broke down in tears as the cat got adopted after waiting for over a year, listening to jabs and insults all along to the point he gave up hope. It instantly made me want to snuggle my own cat—a rescue I adopted just before the shelter told me that if it had been any longer, she was going to be sent to a kill shelter to be put down. Why? She was an adult cat, had been there for months, adopted once—and RETURNED two months later, the family claiming she didn’t get along with other cats. They only told me this after I had decided that it was love at first sight—she hated me!—and I was adopting her. The shelter, like many in the US, is a no-kill shelter. . .but animals who go unadopted too long, or who are returned, are simply relocated to kill shelters, allowing the original shelter to maintain it’s no kill stance (All the while sending the animals off elsewhere to have their lives taken too soon.) That’s just my current cat; All the others, who sadly passed on, were also rescues, some young, some adults, and only once have I had a kitten. I think this manga does an AMAZING job of showing how the long wait for a home can take a toll on an animal, how adult cats are TOTALLY worth adopting, and how rewarding the relationship between pet and owner can be. For the record; The angry, hissing cat, who fought with all the others, I brought home and gave her space to adjust. Within a month, she had become an adorable, snuggly, warm, loving cat—who loved my other rescue cat! It’s worth noting that, like in the manga, you need to do research on cats, especially rescues you adopt, and especially if you have another cat at home. Like the cat in the series, another of my rescue cats has a funny face; Since she was a feral stray that we fed, who came to decide to live in my home by her own choosing, she’s not used enough to humans allow for much petting—but her disgruntled face is, beyond a doubt, entirely too cute, and in fact, is WHAT makes her so cute! I love that forever unimpressed expression her markings give her, even if, years later, she still won’t let me pet her more than once or twice so far—and my other cats adore playing with her! Just because a cat or dog is a little unusual looking, or isn’t so into being touched, doesn’t mean they still aren’t loving or able to bring you, your other pets, and others great joy! Not just touching, this series is informative, educational, and just cute beyond words! I’m buying volume two as soon as I finish this review—and I can’t wait to read volume 3! If you’re on the fence, try the sample, but trust me—you won’t regret supporting this title, considered one of the top titles of 2018!

If you've ever owned (been owned by) a cat, much of what's in this book will be very familiar. I found myself smiling because I could relate to the main character a lot. I have to admit, though, the first few pages were like a punch to the heart, and I was crying actual tears that the poor funny-looking cat got a loving home. This is a terrible review, but I really do recommend this little volume. I've already ordered the next two.

This was such a cute story. Fukumaru is such a cute kitty, and how he reacts when he first got adopted broke my heart 😭💖. I was constantly thinking how cute he was and how happy he was now that he is loved ;-;. I loved everything about this volume. I can't wait to get the second volume.

This was so cute! I got it for my husband, because he loves cats (especially goofy looking cats). He kept saying "It's so sad but so good."

THIS IS SO CUTE ITS MAKING ME CRY

why does this old ass man gotta be so hot?

This is the first anime book that I have ever read, much to the chagrin of my anime loving children. I enjoyed this so much, just such a sweet story with good characters that you want to know more about. Count me in as a fan!

I love cats because they are absolutely cute BUT independent, they know they were seen as Gods by ancient Egyptians and still feel like Gods.This "cat" is a pathetic moaning creature who can't resist to express how sad and pathetic he constantly is.If this wasn't enough to discourage a cat lover, almost every word he is supposed to say is written in that cat sounding way, like meowrvelous or meowracle, which is totally cute if occasionally and well placed, but extremely annoying if overused.I was expecting something cute and ligh, I got something annoying and boring instead.

From time to time you only want to read or see something sweet, comfy and surrounded in pink right? This manga is exactly that. It's sooooo sweet.I honestly did not expect these feelings reading this manga, it's intense. In a good way.The edition is quite good, I am impressed. Strong cover and chunky pages!

I love this book so much the guy is literally a dilf and also the cat and his relationship is so cute but I cried cos it was so sad lmao (also it came in great condition!!)

Our son loves Manga and his cat so this a perfect gift.

Loved this story. Actually almost made me cry in public. I feel like it's a bittersweet kind of story. Wholesome, but also painful.
