Title: If Cats Disappeared from the World
Author: Genki Kawamura
Translator: Eric Selland
The title “If Cats Disappeared from the World” and the black cat cover instantly grabbed my attention and will surely melt anyone’s heart! Reading its title deeply saddens me and truly touches my heart. The thought of all cats, even my own, vanishing from the world is heartbreaking.
“I guess it’s the same with life. We all know it has to end someday, but even so, we act as if we will live forever. Like love, life is beautiful because it has to end.” – Genki Kawamura.
Kawamura thoroughly explores our fear of death in a captivating manner, discussing the lengths we go to prolong our lives, even if just for a brief moment, an hour, or a day. He encourages us to ponder whether our lives hold greater worth than other facets of the world. This deep reflection leads us to assess our past and future life decisions, particularly as many of us are oblivious to our mortality. In the end, the author will make you ask yourself – what is important in life.

This is a gentle reminder that amidst the complexities and challenges within families, there is also beauty in them. Love remains constant, even in the face of our differences and misunderstandings. This book has truly resonated with me on a soulful level, and I hope others will also find meaning in its message and feel deeply connected and understood.
In the end, this story is deeply insightful. Despite its somber and reflective atmosphere, it provides deep contemplation and comfort. Be prepared for tears, yet this captivating story, accompanied by the lovable cat Cabbage, will undoubtedly touch and steal your heart. <3
