An autobiographical 4-koma about the cats Nobara Nonaka kept over the years and the way they influenced her life. The first two volumes focus on Chiko, her beloved Siamese cat, while the third focuses on her later trio of cats named Ryu, Yume and Jasu - each with wildly different stories as to how they found a home by the author's side. Occasional flashbacks detail the stories of cats her family had in the past.
