I loved the first Cat's Cafe collection so much that I downloaded this the second I saw it on Netgalley， and was so excited to read it。 I loved it just as much as the first one， if not more！ The soft， sweet themes of self-care， friendship， healing， taking space and time for yourself when you need it， and valuing the good things in life while acknowledging the bad days， too — it was all incredibly wholesome and comforting， while also being funny and adorable。 I can't recommend this collection hig I loved the first Cat's Cafe collection so much that I downloaded this the second I saw it on Netgalley， and was so excited to read it。 I loved it just as much as the first one， if not more！ The soft， sweet themes of self-care， friendship， healing， taking space and time for yourself when you need it， and valuing the good things in life while acknowledging the bad days， too — it was all incredibly wholesome and comforting， while also being funny and adorable。 I can't recommend this collection highly enough！Thank you to the publisher for the review copy！ All thoughts are honest and my own。✨ Representation: Fox is deaf/HoH and uses sign language; multiple characters have mental illnesses✨ Content warnings for: mentions of depression， anxiety， loneliness， self-disappointment———twitter | booktok | bookstagram | blog 。。。more

This volume of cat’s cafe definitely hits home for me because I too deal with anxiety which is a big part of this comic and how asking for help is really important。 Making friends helps you feel not alone。 When you have friends you feel better knowing that you have people who love and care about you and that makes all the difference。 This is a very important book for people who need to know their not alone in their feelings。

It is usually really hard for me to get into early graphic novels， but I didn't struggle with this at all。 In one way， it is simple and easy。 In another， it's complex。 It's not all rainbows and sunshine。 The comics tackle tough subjects like mental health。 The characters are really cute and diverse。 Overall this is just really wholesome and uplifting。 I think the series is also on Webtoons so I'm definitely gonna have to go subscribe。 It is usually really hard for me to get into early graphic novels， but I didn't struggle with this at all。 In one way， it is simple and easy。 In another， it's complex。 It's not all rainbows and sunshine。 The comics tackle tough subjects like mental health。 The characters are really cute and diverse。 Overall this is just really wholesome and uplifting。 I think the series is also on Webtoons so I'm definitely gonna have to go subscribe。 。。。more

This is the most lovely set of comics I have read。 They are so uplifting while being engaging， colorful， and cute。 The comics cover some deep topics， but they are still appropriate for all ages。 Each character is cuter than the next and they show what it means to be a good friend， and to be there for one another。 They are so wholesome and I will absolutely be coming back to the book when I need a pick me up。 （Kiwi with a knife is the best character）

I adore Cat's Cafe comics。 Each of the characters are distinct and while they look like silly cartoon comics they are both real and heartwarming。 My favorites， and likely many people's favorites， are Toad， Penguin， Goose， and Kiwi， but really they're all great。 This collection features some feel-good comics like enjoying the little things， some advice for when life gets you down， and silly unexpected comics which boils down to a good recipe for a comfort read。 Wouldn't it be so lovely to have su I adore Cat's Cafe comics。 Each of the characters are distinct and while they look like silly cartoon comics they are both real and heartwarming。 My favorites， and likely many people's favorites， are Toad， Penguin， Goose， and Kiwi， but really they're all great。 This collection features some feel-good comics like enjoying the little things， some advice for when life gets you down， and silly unexpected comics which boils down to a good recipe for a comfort read。 Wouldn't it be so lovely to have such a diverse community of supportive friends？Received ARC from Netgalley for review。 。。。more

Where do I start？ These short stories were everything。 The illustrations are amazing and the dialogue is funny and heartwarming。 As someone who suffers from anxiety， I felt seen and understood。 Seeing the different scenarios and the adorable characters definitely gave me a boost of serotonin。 My favorite adventure was "Far from home" ， I could relate to Rat so much。 In my opinion， both children and adults will love this graphic novel。 I can't wait to read /show this to my former host kids。 I kno Where do I start？ These short stories were everything。 The illustrations are amazing and the dialogue is funny and heartwarming。 As someone who suffers from anxiety， I felt seen and understood。 Seeing the different scenarios and the adorable characters definitely gave me a boost of serotonin。 My favorite adventure was "Far from home" ， I could relate to Rat so much。 In my opinion， both children and adults will love this graphic novel。 I can't wait to read /show this to my former host kids。 I know they are going to love it。 I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review 。。。more

These comics are downright adorable。 Extremely sweet and wholesome。 Many of the comics also deal with anxiety and how to cope with it， so if you struggle with anxiety you might find extra comfort from this book。 Really cute， relaxing read that will probably cheer you up if you need it！Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC。

This was a funny albeit sometimes overly cutesy comic strip。 It had some relatable moments about anxiety and mental health， and others that were a bit cuter。The illustrations were quite bright and colourful。This ARC copy was provided by Netgalley and this is my honest review。

Cute and relatable 4-panel cartoons that run the gamut from emotional to inspirational to LOL funny。 A few of the gags get a bit repetitive， but they're distributed far enough away from each other in the page count that it's not that big a deal unless you binge-read the entire book in one sitting as I did。 Happy thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the very charming read！ Cute and relatable 4-panel cartoons that run the gamut from emotional to inspirational to LOL funny。 A few of the gags get a bit repetitive， but they're distributed far enough away from each other in the page count that it's not that big a deal unless you binge-read the entire book in one sitting as I did。 Happy thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the very charming read！ 。。。more

Heartwarming， adorable， and just the thing to cheer you up when you’re feeling down！ These animals all have their own mental health issues （anxiety， depression， etc。）， but they show each other and themselves love and support throughout a series of short comics。 The art is simple and colorful， showing emotions well。 This collection is perfect for dipping in an out when you need a smile or reading straight through to help getting out of a reading slump。 Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy！
