The author actually fulfilled one of my wishes for this manga series. It's so good!
I really liked how much more of a focus the relationship between Cocchi and Chi was and how it developed even more. Their yearning showed how much they enjoy each other's company. Can't wait to see more of them, now that Cocchi's life circumstances changed!

This volume was cute as usual but also one of the most emotional volumes to date. Not sad, just a lot of empathy for the characters, especially the animal ones. Starts off with Chi mastering her cone and then getting it removed. But then the Yamadas decide she should be a house cat for her own safety. Chi is confused, why can't she leave? This is sad and frustrating for Chi and yet we also feel for the owners. (My personal opinion is that cats should be house cats). But Cocchi has been waiting for her since the last visit. Cocchi is expectantly waiting for his new found friend and the stray becomes lonely, hostile and lonely as time goes by and Chi doesn't return. But after Mr. Yamada's brilliant idea to take Chi for a walk on leash blows up in his face Chi is free and rushes off to find her friend. Can Chi ever go home again? Will they now lock her up and not let her out? She decides to spend the night with Cocchi and try the "free-living life" and emotions are tugged throughout until the heartwarming, and a bit surprising, ending. A nice change of pace from the other volumes, gives a bit of new life to the series.

Pese a que hace ya un tiempo que no leo éste manga, recuerdo, y especialmente al compararlo con otros acerca de felinos y de la autora (como ‘Plum, historias gatunas’ y ‘La abuela y su gato gordo’), que ha bajado mi criterio de estimación; pese a ser un poco el originario o el que abrió la veda sobre la temática gatuna y su ínter actuación con los de su especie y humanos.
Pero en éste volumen y para mi sorpresa, ha vuelto a recuperar la chispa de sus primeras entregas. Aquí, y muy lúcidamente, la autora nos adentra en la relación de amistad entre Chi, la dulce gatita hogareña y desprovista de toda picardía, con Kocchi, un gatito callejero. Con ello, se da una muy lógica, graciosa, y consecuente buena radiografía de las diferencias entre los felinos que no saben lo que es pasar por dificultades ni tener suspicacias, a los que, y desgraciadamente, las padecen diariamente; si bien siempre hay corazones cálidos que atienden sus necesidades. Hasta me cayó bien Kocchi y todo!...lo comprendí al fin.
¡Por cierto, el gato negro sale en tres viñetas!...algo es algo, no?;)

Cute, but the baby talk was a bit much.

Another fantastic volume, this time with more Chi and Cocchi adventures! The chapter with Chi in an Elizabeth's collar is hilarious, and I loved the part where Daddy hooks Chi up to a leash. As always, the cat behaviour is spot-on, and I was happy to see it feature Cocchi so much if only to see cute kitten behaviour times two! I can't wait to see what happens next!

This might well be my favorite book in the series so far. Chi struggles with her family's decision to make her an indoor cat. When she finally escapes and meets up with Cocchi he introduces her to his life as a stray. By book's end though, Cocchi finally gets to experience what a "home" feels like.
A great series for all ages, especially pet lovers.

Chi finally gets better! But she made a promise to Cocchi that she would meet him at the park. So Cocchi waits, and waits, and waits, until he can't wait anymore! He decides to go looking for Chi and ends up finding a kitten that looks just like Chi, but isn't her! So Cocchi decides to follow this kitten.
While Cocchi is following this mystery kitten, Chi decides to go to the park to look for Cocchi! But Cocchi isn't there, so Chi waits, and waits, and waits. Until Auntie Calico tells Chi to go home. That's when Chi finds out that Cocchi is a stray, and doesn't have a home. At the same time Yohei, mommy and daddy are looking for Chi. Well Chi and Cocchi end up finding each other at the park!
Chi spends the night with Cocchi finding food, until Chi falls asleep. Which makes Cocchi fall asleep. But they end up waking up in Chi's home, because daddy, mommy and Yohei found Chi and Cocchi. Cocchi is in the shock of his life when he sees how Chi lives! But Cocchi is an outside cat and can't stand to stay inside, while Chi's family wants Chi to become an indoor cat. What will happen?!
Will Chi end up reuniting with his cat family? Will his human family figure out that Chi belongs to the cat family nearby?

I truly love these books. They have a very special place in my heart as an animal lover and as a cat owner. I still love them as much as when I started them and I give all the credit due to the story being told from the cats perspective!
This story is too adorable NOT to love! Because the story is written from the cats perspective, readers see Chi’s life from the eyes of Chi! And I can’t say it enough how the author truly captures the behavior, attitude, and mindset of a cat. That’s why this series is so successful and internationally known!
This particular volume focuses on Chi wanting to be able go outside to play with Cocchi, and her frustration of not being able to go outside because Chi’s family wanting to keep her safe.
The end result is an adorable story about how the two kittens long for each other’s friendship and how once they meet up, they teach each other to live in the other’s shoes for a day! Like country mouse (Cocchi) meets city mouse (Chi)!

Das ist Band 09 von der "Kleine Katze Chi" Reihe von Konami Kanata
Cocchie ist so mega süß. Chi sieht immer wieder seine Mama und seine Geschwister, ob sie sich irgendwann wieder begegnen werden? Was ich auch ganz süß fand, das Chis FAmilie Cocchie kurzzeitig aufnimmt, doch die ist das Freigang Leben ohne FAmilie gewohnt und weiß es leider nur bedingt zu schätzen.
Ich bin wirklich gespannt wie es weitergeht.

This volume is mostly about Chi wanting freedom and then following the lead of Kocchi, who's a street cat. So there are shenanigans, yes. But mostly it's just very cute. I love the family aspect more than the cat adventures but it was still pretty fun and light-hearted. Kocchi deserves some looooovvveeee.

Ce neuvième tome a été une succession de rebondissement pour cette petite chatte ! Ce neuvième tome, comme les autres, a encore une fois très bien représenté les chats. Par exemple, comme mon chat, Chi tire la gueule quand elle a une collerette ! J'ai aussi adoré les aventures de Chi avec Minou ! En bref, vous aimez les chats ? Foncez lire Chi !

A more enjoyable instalment than previous volumes, this one follows Chi as she apprentices with Cocchi the stray kitten, living the street life. It also looks like a reunion with her cat family might be on the cards for the final volume. Lots of little moments of cuteness in this volume.

У цьому томі Чі дізнається більше про життя на вулиці, а от я встиг поспівчувати її другові Коччі, у якого свого дому немає, тож він ночує у коробці в парку - це вже мій біас котофіла, що бажає рятувати усіх пухнастиків

4.25/5
This was a cute one! I liked the progression of the story and that it was an entire story for the whole volume.
Happy that Cocchi has seemingly joined the family at the end of the volume! Eager to see how he acclimatizes to the indoor cat life!
