The travelling cat chronicles

The travelling cat chronicles / Hiro Arikawa, translated by Philip Gabriel, read by George Blagden, 277 pgs.

Satoru is a single guy who adopts an injured stray cat that he had been feeding.  The cat looks a lot like one he had as a child.  Nana (as the cat is dubbed) is precocious and independent.  He narrates a large part of the book telling of his owner and their travels together.  Satoru is looking for a new home for Nana and visits a slew of friends to see if any will be a good fit.  The adventures they have together are sweet and heart warming.  We learn a lot about Satoru and his friends.  I found this quirky little book to be a real treasure.  George Blagden does a convincing job with a cat's voice.
