A beautifully moving tale of loss and reaching out to the ones we love.
Our narrator’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week . . .
Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself – and his beloved cat – to the brink.
Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared from the World is a story of loss and reconciliation, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters in modern life.
This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. Fans of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles will also love If Cats Disappeared from the World.

Jeg var vild med den. En lille hyggelig og tankevækkende historie. Den kan måske være lidt kedelig for nogen men ikke for mig. Det var lige det jeg havde brug for.Kan anbefales til folk der gerne vil havde en lille fin historie😊 så kan man sidde og filosofere med bogen

En virkelig fin lille fortælling om alt det, der gør livet værd at leve

I had high expectations and was definitely let down. It’s a good story, but it’s painfully drawn out and boring at times. The narrator makes some very weird voices as well 😳
