It's time to visit the Nakagyo Kokoro Clinic for the Soul.

Though it's a mysteriously located clinic with an uncertain address, it can always be found by those who need it. And the clinic has proven time after time that a prescribed cat has the power to heal the emotional wounds of its patient. This charming novel introduces a lovable cast of healing cats, from Kotetsu, a four-month-old Bengal who unleashes his boundless energy by demolishing bed linens and curtains, to tenacious and curious Shasha, who doesn't let her small size stop her from anything, to the sweet yet lazy Ms. Michiko, who is as soft and comforting as mochi.

As characters from one chapter appear as side characters in the next, we follow a young woman who cannot help pushing away the man who loves her, a recently widowed grandfather whose grandson refuses to leave his room, the family of a young woman struggling to understand one another, and an anxious man who works at a cat shelter seeking to show that the most difficult cats can be the most rewarding companions. This moving, magical novel proves the strength of the unfathomable bond between cats and people.
