About the book: 
For fans of THE TRAVELLING CAT CHRONICLES, THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS  and SHE AND HER CAT,  discover the award-winning bestselling Japanese novel that has become an international sensation in this utterly charming celebration of the healing power of cats.
 
A cat a day keeps the doctor away ...
 
On the top floor of an old building at the end of a cobbled alley in Kyoto lies the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul. Only a select few - those who feel genuine emotional pain - can find it. The mysterious centre offers a unique treatment for its troubled patients: it prescribes cats as medication.
 
Get ready to fall in love:
  • Bee, an eight-year-old female, mixed breed helps a disheartened businessman as he finds unexpected joy in physical labour;
  • Margot, muscly like a lightweight boxer, helps a middle-aged callcentre worker stay relevant at work and at home;
  • Koyuki, an exquisite white cat brings closure to a young mother troubled by the memory of the rescue kitten she was forced to abandon;
  • Tank and Tangerine bring peace to a hardened handbag designer, as she learns to be kinder to herself;
  • Mimita, the Scottish Fold kitten helps a broken-hearted Geisha to stop blaming herself for the cat she lost years ago;
As the clinic's patients navigate their inner turmoil and seek resolution, their feline companions lead them towards healing, self-discovery and newfound hope.
 
Contains five exquisite cat line-drawings.
