The million-copy bestseller, perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
What would you do if you were told you only had days left to live? And what would you give up for just one more day? Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared From The World is a tender, whimsical tale of love, loss, and the quiet miracles of everyday life.
A thirty-year-old postman lives a simple life, with only his cat, Cabbage, for company. But when an unexpected diagnosis turns his world upside down, he is faced with an impossible choice. The Devil appears to him, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, and makes an offer: if he makes one thing in the world disappear, he can have an extra day of life.
As the days tick by, and with Cabbage by his side, he begins a journey that might just lead him back to the people he thought he'd lost. Before it's too late . . .
If Cats Disappeared from the World is a life-affirming meditation on what we leave behind - and what we hold onto until the very end.

What are the things you would not want to live without?
A novel that gently guides you towards the answers about what actually matters in life. I like focusing on the little, everyday things that spark joy and this book did just that. The cover is so cute as well :) -

What is your life worth to you?
When the book’s narrator finds out that he will die tomorrow, he is distraught. But then the devil appears to him with an offer. He will be able to live longer, but every day one thing will have to disappear from the world forever. A philosophical and emotional book about life and fate and the choices we make. A wonderful read. -

What a gem!
I can't think of a book with a more horrific title - who would ever want to live in a world without cats? But if eliminating all cats could prolong your life, what would you do? A man in his early 30s is diagnosed with a stage-4 brain tumor and would die very shortly if the devil didn't offer him a deal. Every important item taken away from the world will give him an additional day. This leads to a whole series of different topics springing up. We are taken along for a ride through the man's history with the people and cats in his life, and every item taken away links him to a specific person. It is brilliant how Genki Kawamura manages to marry his philosophical ponderings with high levels of humor - rarely is an incarnation of the devil as charming and flawed as this one - the way he is not able to wink is wonderful. Still, this is also a book that is likely to make you cry for multiple reasons. I delayed reading the book again and again because I was afraid that it would destroy me emotionally, and it didn't - at least not in the way I feared - instead it is a lovely journey through all emotions imaginable. Loving cats helps, but it is not even a prerequisite. Being emotionally available to literature suffices. -

Would you make a deal with the devil to live another day?
Our protagonist is in such an situation. To live another day, he has to choose one thing that disappears from the world. One object, one day. But what is important and what is not? Its a short book that takes a philosophical take on how our decisions affect others and what truly matters in life -

If Cats Disappeared from the World
Would you bargain with the devil for your life? The story is fun to read and there are a few moments that will make you smile. A great story for in between and one that makes you think.
