For fans of The Travelling Cat Chronicles, discover the award-winning Japanese sensation - a charming celebration of the healing power of cats.

A cat a day keeps the doctor away ...

On the top floor of an old building at the end of a cobbled alley in Kyoto lies the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul. Only a select few - those who feel genuine emotional pain - can find it.

The mysterious centre offers a unique treatment for its troubled patients - it prescribes cats as medication.

Get ready to fall in love:

• Bee, an eight-year-old female, mixed breed, helps a disheartened businessman as he finds unexpected joy in physical labour.
• Margot, muscly like a lightweight boxer, helps a middle-aged call centre worker stay relevant at work and at home.
• Koyuki, an exquisite white cat, brings closure to a young mother troubled by the memory of the rescue kitten she was forced to abandon.
• Tank and Tangerine bring peace to a hardened handbag designer, as she learns to be kinder to herself.
• Mimita, the Scottish Fold kitten, helps a broken-hearted Geisha to stop blaming herself for the cat she lost years ago.

As the clinic's patients navigate their inner turmoil and seek resolution, their feline companions lead them towards healing, self-discovery, and newfound hope.
