In this week’s bonus episode, we dive into the tender and tear-jerking pages of The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa (translated by Philip Gabriel).
Join us as we talk about loyal pets, lifelong friendships, and the kind of emotional gut-punch only a cat’s perspective can deliver. Tissues advised.
Note: there is some background noise from about 30 minutes until the end of the episode, as one of the hubbies was making dinner. Sorry about that!
