Netizen ‘Makanejim’ said: “I showed this to the cat in front of my house and it cried after reading one part, really touched his heart.”
The novel is described by online book vendor Book Depository as ‘a novel for cats written from the perspective of a cat’.
On the site, the book summary says: “Only one word can describe the wondrous adventures waiting inside the cover of Meow, it is also the only word you will find inside the cover of meow.”
Apparently, there is a similar book that can be purchased online titled ‘Woof’ by author W.O. Ffwoof.
