Reminiscent of Johnathan Livingston Seagull, this was a quick read - it only took me a few hours - but it will stay with you long after you finish it. * The Skinny *Ī poignant, affecting story about facing up to one's mortality, taking responsibility for one's choices and deciding what truly holds value. This brief existential enquiry into life's priorities is gently charming. If you're a fan of The Guest Cat (or even just cats generally), you'll love this. Review: A warm, quirky novel on life, love, family estrangement and what remains when we are gone with a surprising emotional charge. 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.If Cats Disappeared from the World is a beautifully moving tale of loss and reconciliation, of one man's journey to discover what really matters in modern life. 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. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he is unprepared for the doctor's diagnosis that he has only months to live.
