Change arrives on velvet paws. In an old building at the end of a small alley in Kyoto lies the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul. Directions are given only upon personal recommendation and only when conventional medications and therapies have proven ineffective. Instead, they offer a unique treatment: cats as medicine! For a few days, sometimes even weeks, patients are given a fluffy companion. Like the businessman Shſta, whose life is completely turned upside down by the cat Bee. Or the girl Aoba, whose cat Koyuki helps her cope with the pressures of school. And the geisha Abino, who rediscovers a long-lost happiness in Mimita. Charming and heartfelt, Syou Ishida tells the story of how we can find happiness in the everyday things in life.
