Reviewed by Jule 🐞Gedanken 💭: In 4 Kurzgeschichten wird abwechselnd aus Sicht der Katze und der Besitzerin auf so süße und melancholisch weiße das Leben erzählt. Man konnte sich in die Gedanken und Gefühlen der Charaktere hineinversetzen und auch das Leben der kleinen Vierbeiner aus ihrer Sicht zu sehen war echt schön. Dadurch das man hier auch eine andere Perspektive auf das Leben hat wird es mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen beschrieben. Sowohl Freundschaft, Liebe und Familie als auch Karriere spielen hier eine große Rolle und es wurden auch ein paar Lebensweisheiten mitgegeben 🤭🐈⬛ . Fazit ✨: Das Buch ist für jeden der Katzen mag perfekt. Dadurch dass es so süß und melancholisch war hat es sich wie ein Film in meinem Kopf abgespielt. Ein wirklich schönes Buch für einen regnerischen Tag mit der Katze 🌧️🐈⬛
