Book Shadow

Since its publication in 2022, the book has spread the idea that "cats have time for care, too," and has garnered a great response from owners who care for their elderly cats at home or at the end of life.

In addition, an increasing number of cat owners have picked up the book as a result of continuous information dissemination by supervisor Emoto on SNS and YouTube, and the book continues to provide society with an opportunity to think about home care and end-of-life care.

-- "The book is a valuable source of information on end-of-life care and nursing care at home.

Kohei Emoto (supervisor) comments

This book is more about "support" than "cure.

I hope that cats can live peacefully until their final moments, and that their owners can spend a "satisfying time," not with regrets.

We have compiled this report based on the experiences of many cats and their families we have met in the field.

Through SNS, we hope to provide more people who are suffering from the same problems with a place to turn to for comfort.

Publisher's Comment

Since its publication, we have received many responses not only from owners who are concerned about the care of their beloved cats and problematic behaviors of elderly cats, but also from those who want to be prepared even though it is still some time away, and from those who want to make use of this book for their next cat, even though they did not make it in time for their own cat.

We will continue to provide information on nursing care and palliative care to those who need it, as a book that supports them both mentally and in terms of knowledge and skills.
