Às vezes é preciso fazer uma longa viagem para descobrir aquilo que está perto de você. O gato Nana está viajando pelo Japão. Ele não sabe muito bem para onde está indo ou por quê, mas ele está sentado no banco da van prata de Satoru, seu dono. Lado a lado, eles cruzam o país para visitar velhos amigos. O fazendeiro durão que acredita que gatos só servem para caçar ratos, o simpático casal dono de uma pousada que aceita animais, e o marido abandonado pela esposa que ama animais.

Seit Jahrzehnten bringt die Hankyu-Bahn, ein weinroter Regionalzug zwischen Kyoto und Osaka, ihre Passagiere sicher ans Ziel. Während sich die Jahreszeiten vor dem Fenster ändern, kommen die Menschen einander näher: von dem jungen Mann, der sich in eine Mitreisende verliebt, über die Frau, die den Mut fasst, sich aus ihrer Beziehung zu lösen, bis hin zur Witwe, die ein neues Leben beginnt. In diesem sanft durch die Landschaft fahrenden Zug begibt sich jeder von ihnen auf eine Reise, um der Mensch zu werden, der er wirklich sein möchte.

Nesta multifacetada coletânea de contos, os leitores serão transportados para o Japão moderno e o tradicional, um mundo onde as relações, como as entre gatos e seus donos, são construídas com afeto, cumplicidade e compreensão.

Hachi e Nana, dois gatos com caudas tortas, compartilham mais do que a característica física: ambos foram abandonados por pessoas cruéis que se livram dos filhotes como se fossem objetos descartáveis.

Against changing seasons in Japan, seven cats weave their way through their owners' lives. We meet Spin, a kitten rescued from the recycling bin, whose simple needs teach an anxious father how to parent his own human baby; a colony of wild cats on a holiday island shows a young boy not to stand in nature's way; a family is perplexed by their cat's devotion to their charismatic but uncaring father; a woman curses how her cat constantly visits her at night; and an elderly cat, Kota, hatches a plan to pass into the next world as a spirit so that he and his owner may be together for ever.
