All My Cats by Bohumil Hrabal

A warm, eccentric first-person memoir that follows an aging narrator as he recalls a lifetime of companion cats and the people, places, and odd episodes they link together. Through humorous anecdotes and lyrical digressions he reflects on work, love, loss, and the small consolations of everyday life, with the cats serving as witnesses and metaphors for memory, solitude, and tenderness. The tone moves between wry comedy and gentle melancholy, offering intimate vignettes that evoke a particular Prague milieu and a singular, conversational voice.
