She follows the sound to the banks of Tokyo’s Tamagawa River and finds a newborn kitten dangling from a fence, abandoned.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOvercome by tender affection, she takes the cat back to the small apartment she shares with her husband and christens her Mii: so begins an unshakeable bond. Over the next twenty years, we follow Inaba, a poet and novelist by moonlight, as she pursues quiet solitude and a room of her own. Through it all, Mii, a fiercely independent creature in her own right, is her confidante and muse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis beloved Japanese modern classic is not just a love letter to companionship: it’s a poignant, searching meditation on the forces that enable us to connect, to create and to build a life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mayumi Inaba","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56682548953475,"sku":"9781529922813","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/8600\/8738\/files\/SIMPLEWEBSITEPRODUCTIMAGE-2025-10-21T143436.919.png?v=1761053743","url":"https:\/\/rarebirdsbooks.live\/products\/mornings-with-my-cat-mii","provider":"Rare Birds Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
