Our narrator’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week . . .
Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself – and his beloved cat – to the brink. Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared from the World is a story of loss and reconciliation, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters in modern life.

I bought this book in Egland when I was on a trip. I'd picked it up just for the title, and the cute little black cat on the cover, but the synopsis seem so interesting that I bought it.
And here we end up, with me telling you that that was one of those times in which the "I'm going to buy it, I don't want to know any of the previous reviews" woked. I usually look up close every book I'm going to buy (They are not so cheap ya' know).
We follow the journey of a young man through death with the company of a little cat called Cabbage and the Devil.
The book is really short and easy-reading. Big reflexions and life changes surrounding an evil trap of the Devil fill up the pages. Movie references, cat cuteness, and Japanise culture, these are a few things that this book talks about, but also talks about love, grief, family, right and wrong,... so many things, that I don't know how to sum them up.
Made me cry, made me laugh and made me want to pet my cat even more than I usually do (that's all the time).
