Before we get to the manga recs themselves, allow me to tell you a little bit about my childhood cat, Ziggy. He was a stray, found alone in a parking garage by my dad’s coworker, and somehow found a home with us despite my mother’s long-standing fear of cats and my long-standing desire for a dog for god’s sake! And thus began our eventful, worthy-of-a-yonkoma-manga life with Ziggy. From that time he fell into the toilet, to the time he tore into and ate an entire unopened box of donuts, to the way he bullied our dogs on a daily basis (yes, my wish did eventually come true), Ziggy was quite the character. And much like Ziggy, the cats featured in the manga here have unique, irresistible personalities, and you’ll be sure to have a ball reading about each of them. Enjoy!
