The Lost Cat

by Glen Johnson

Sophia Moss is a twenty-four-year-old English national living in Tokyo Japan. She adopts a stray cat when it intrudes into her life to make amends for something unforgivable she did as a teenager. Just as she gets used to the cat’s presence, he disappears.

A Japanese legend states that if your cat is lost or runs away from home and has gone missing, you need to go out onto the streets in your neighbourhood, find a stray street cat and talk to it as you would a human. Describe your cat, explaining that it is lost, how much you love it, how it is truly missed, and how you hope it returns home safely. The stray will pass the message on to all the other cats it meets until it reaches the lost animal so it can find its way home.

Hopefully, the message reaches the right feline ears and isn’t intercepted by something far more sinister – a vengeful spirit seeking retribution.

Karma never forgets, it finds a way to exact revenge.

“Cats choose we don’t own them.” – Kristin Cast

[任煦涵 · Rating 1 out of 5]

This might be the worst book I’ve read this year. The main character, an English girl, is racist, complains constantly, and judges people nonstop. “Oh Japanese people are so annoying about their superstitions” “Japanese people this Japanese people that” and then even when an American is introduced they’re just calling them fat and loud and annoying?? It’s suppose to be a horror book not a constant monologue about how annoying everyone but English people are.

Karma is a bitch

Cats have feelings, too, and Glen gets this over strongly in this novella. What sits deep in the mind locked away so you think can be drawn out! MEOW
