Last week, my hubby had his 36th birthday. I am so honored I have got to celebrate 18 birthdays with him now. ^_^ Every year, I try to do a special post for him on here, GeekyKool, and my social medias. My husband is fantastic with animals; it is astounding! And we have a darling family of three: the two of us and our precious fur baby, our girl Socks. We have had her for over eight years now and she brings so much to our lives. Now, we both liked cats before this and grew up with them and dogs (our duplex does not allow dogs sadly,) but now that we are fur parents, we are cat obsessed and show our kitty pride (HA! X-men joke hidden in there! 😉 )
To celebrate, I shared my Top Five Favorite Anime or Manga About Cats. And happy birthday angel; your girls love you! ^-^
Top Five Anime and Manga about Cats:
- My Roommate is a Cat– “If you LOVE cats, this one is PURR-FECT! The main human character is an author, so it counts here too. 😉 Our protagonist is antisocial to the max, obsessed with reading and writing. After the death of his parents, he is fine with no one…until he meets a stray cat and his world turns upside down and expands. And so does our kitty, Haru! The first half of every episode is first the human and the second is our same story, but from the CAT’S perspective and HER voice! And it is flawless! Adorable, sweet, hilarious, and heartwarming, this is a MUST! And there are some scenes with him doing a book signing that touched me and shows the impact author has on their fans. Derrick and I adored it to pieces!”
- The Cat Returns “This is such a fun Studio Ghibli film, a prequel to “Whisper of the Heart,” this time staring The Baron (voiced by Westley himself from “The Princess Bride.” There is also Anne Hathaway, Tim Curry, and many other more fabulous American actors in the English dub.) A high school girl recuses a cat from getting hit, finding out he was the prince of the Cat Kingdom! Now, as a ‘reward,’ she is forced to marry the prince! Then she hears about a special place where the Baron and his friends run to help protect the girl, Haru. Again, this movie is a blast!”
- She and Her Cat: Everything Flows “Now, this 18 minutes OVA special is a tear-jerker! It documents the life of a girl and her cat together through his eyes and what they mean to each other. Ah! It will make your heart ache in the best and shattering ways, but I highly recommend this beautiful piece for any cat owner.”
- The White Cat Plotting Revenge on the Dragon King’s Lap (manga-) “This is an isaki (other world traveling/reincarnation story) about a kind and lovely blonde girl who hides her looks due to her family’s status. One day, she and her cute, but needy for attention best friend are whisked away to another world with magic. Everyone worships the cute friend, making her their queen, booting our heroine to find for herself in a dangerous forest where she discovers she has an ample amount of magic, attracting fairies. On accident, she turns into a white cat and ends up in the castle of the dreaded dragon king. Yet as a kitty, she discovers how lonely, kind, and handsome he is.”
- A Whisker Away “This movie on Netflix is about a girl who finds her life boring. One day, a cat mask is dropped in front of her. She puts it on and it turns her into a cat! At first, she enjoys it, switching back and forth whenever she wants, this easier to get close to her crush. Yet, the rules of magic are starting at work…and there is a price to pay. The pacing and story are not smooth, but I like the world, especially at the end. Wish we could have spent more time there. But definitely worth a watch!”
- I also got a manga called Cat Massage Therapist. I have not read it yet, but I look forward to it. 🙂
