I originally wanted to read the book version of The Travelling Cat Chronicles or Tabineko Ripoto, but when I found out Sota Fukushi is playing the lead in this movie adaptation, I thought it might be worth my while. And true enough, it was! The movie is narrated by a cat named Nana and he tells the story of his life with his human, Satoru. It starts out pretty light and funny, so I mistakenly thought it was one of those feel-good stories. Halfway through the movie, I already had an inkling that it's more than that. And boy, I ended up doing my ugly cry! I kept thinking about my dog and how he would feel if he had to sit and wait for me every single day and not see me or even hear my voice anymore. I wonder if he'd look for me. Those who have ever owned pets or loved animals like me have always dreaded the time when we have to say goodbye to our beloved best friends or children, but very few of us have ever thought how devastating it would be for them to not have us around anymore. This movie explores that and it's written from the point of view of the cat, making it all the more touching and emotional. I recommend this movie to all cat lovers or pet owners in general, provided of course that you're in the right mindset.
