I have always enjoyed Junji's odd but detailed style and solid storytelling. Being a cat lover I was excited ( and worried at first ) to find out about this manga. Junji does show certain sense of humor in his horror comics but I didn't expect what he did here. The way he draws the cats is wonderful and astute, and his over-the-top portrayal of himself is great.
A person who doesn't care for cats most likely won't find the manga very entertaining but cat-lovers ought to enjoy it a lot.

Rather than a slice of life manga, this is really a gag manga where the jokes come from Ito subverting a stereotypical slice of life premise with his own special brand of absurd horror stylings.

It's an inspired idea.
Yet another victory for Junji Ito

I've always wondered how it would be if Itou would draw a non-horror manga...
The mix of his unique horror drawing style and comedy/slice of life plot is wonderful.

Probably a stupid question and I feel really foolish for bothering to ask but as someone who is sensitive to harm to animals/animal deaths (particularly with dogs) in horror manga... Is there anything I should look out for?
