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** Japanese bestseller, October 2023
