The Kokoro Clinic for the Soul is open once again—and this time, there are even more cats ready to change people's lives.
In this delightful follow-up to We’ll Prescribe You a Cat, the mysterious clinic continues its unusual treatment: prescribing cats to people who need emotional healing.
Meet a new group of unforgettable feline companions, including Kotetsu, an energetic Bengal kitten, Shasha, a tiny but fearless cat, and Ms. Michiko, a wonderfully soft and lazy cat. Their human patients include people struggling with love, grief, family relationships, loneliness and difficult life choices.
As characters from one story reappear in another, these interconnected tales reveal how the bond between humans and cats can bring comfort, perspective and unexpected change.
We’ll Prescribe You Another Cat is a warm and magical Japanese novel about healing, human connection, family, loneliness and the mysterious ways cats can transform our lives. It is the second internationally published book in the Kokoro Cat Clinic series.
