Matsumoto, Hidekichi

"Welcome to the Menagerie! With both a cat and a dog, there's double the antics, double the fun (and double the kibble!) but while Inu and Neko coexist peacefully, they have their own distinct personalities, which play out in unexpected, charming ways during these short-form stories. Whether you're a dog-person or a cat-person, there's plenty to love about these homegrown sketches of daily life shared with four-legged friends!" -- Back cover of volume 1.

"And suddenly, both Inu-kun and Neko-sama turned 10 years old! The clock of a pet's life ticks by quickly, and at some point they outpace their human's age and travel on ahead, but...right now they're at peak cuteness! Even cuter than when they were just a puppy and a kitten! Hidekichi shares more snapshots of life with the pets she dotes on, the pets who are so gosh darn cute even when they've grown up!"--Back cover.
