This is a hardcover book. My sister and brother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas 2018.
Before I became a dog person I was a cat person and I’ve always been a sucker for books about a cat (I still think fondly of Paul Gallico’s Thomasina). My sister knows this about me so this book was a Christmas present from her. And I found this book about a stray Japanese cat quite charming.
Nana (which is the Japanese word for seven) was living on his own in the city of Tokyo. He found a silver van on his travels one day and attracted the attention of the van’s owner who left bits of food for the cat. Occasionally Nana would let the man scratch him under his chin. The man who was called Satoru gave the cat the name of Nana because his tail had a kink at the end which made the tale look like the number seven. One night Nana was hit by a car and his leg was broken. He dragged himself back to Satoru’s place and yowled until Satoru came out. Satoru took Nana to the vet and had him recuperate at his apartment. Nana decided that he would continue to stay with Satoru even after he was healed. Nana could understand everything Satoru said and Satoru seemed to understand much of what Nana was feeling. Then one day Satoru took Nana for a drive to meet a childhood friend that he was hoping would agree to adopt Nana because Satoru found he had to give Nana up. When that didn’t work out Satoru took Nana to another friend and another but for various reasons the situations wouldn’t work But Nana does get quite a bit of travelling in while Satoru is pursuing this quest. Satoru never tells his friends why he has to give Nana up and he doesn’t explain it to Nana either. Nevertheless Nana knows the reason and he is determined to stay with Satoru. When the reader understands the reason time is drawing to a close for Nana and Satoru but their relationship is everlasting.
Sweet wise and a little sad.
