Mornings with My Cat Mii

Mornings with My Cat Mii by Mayumi Inaba is a heartfelt memoir about love, companionship, and the quiet beauty found in everyday life. The story centers on the author’s bond with her beloved cat, Mii, whom she rescues as a stray kitten from a Tokyo riverbank. What begins as an act of compassion evolves into a deeply meaningful relationship that shapes her life in profound and unexpected ways.

Through gentle and introspective prose, Inaba reflects on her quiet mornings spent with Mii, sharing tender moments of comfort, routine, and mutual understanding. As the seasons change, their bond deepens, offering solace during times of personal reflection and creative struggles.

Mornings with My Cat Mii is more than a memoir about pet ownership—it’s a poetic meditation on companionship, loneliness, and the power of unconditional love. With its beautifully contemplative style and universal themes of connection and loss, this modern Japanese classic is a moving tribute to the profound relationships we form with the animals that share our lives.
