I hadn't realized that he finished his catbook already! At first when they were talking about it I thought another author had the same idea and he was mad at that...but it was HIS book!

wow he writes fast.

No wonder he doesn't eat :(

I noticed this before, but why doesn't Subaru wear any socks?

And one would think cats were smart enough to hide in bushes or something like that when they face airborne predators.

And do crows really eat kittens?

I thought the story in this episode was pretty good, if a little generic, but I felt the animation quality really dropped in the cat sequence. Anyone else feel this way or was it just me?
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

This episode ripped out my cold, dead heart and tortured me! D:

How dare this episode make me tear up while eating spicy kimchi jjim!

I wonder if that one kitty cat is really dead? :( Did the birds eat his body? I know it's awful to think but it's nature.

Tora-chan is so cute. MIZ Tora-chan. I hope she's still alive and will get adopted along with Kurochan.

As you can see from my avatar, I wear glasses.
(Yes, that's actually me.)
It's very hard to type when the lenses are covered in tears.

I've been doing that a lot with this series.

To use the modern vernacular...
"The feels, man, the feels."
Um, OK, so maybe that's a blend of the lingo from my youth and the modern.

Anyway.
Yes, I do get rather emotional watching this series.
Sadness at their past, happiness at their present, and hopefulness for their future.

The editor's wife is clearly a nice person; he can't have cats due to her allergies, but recognizing how much he has fallen for Haru, she made him a key chain ornament likeness of Haru.
I know all about how allergies can mess up your life.
I've suffered from allergies all my life.
But it was in my late 30s that they really got out of hand; if I spent a weekend outside in pollen season, I'd be out sick on Monday.
My reactions are somewhat atypical; not only do I get hives, my brain shuts down. I stop being able to deal with anything.
I was on allergy shots for seven years until they were sufficiently under control.

So, I can understand someone who is allergic to cats not being able to have one around, no matter how much those they are close to would like to have one.
It says something about just how strong their relationship is, someone as cat crazy as editor-san being married to someone who can't be anywhere near a cat.
And it also explains why he would take such ruthless advantage of a situation where he can spend time around a cat and claim it as being work related.
Given that the novel being serialized appears to be very popular, I can also understand his superiors turning something of a blind eye upon this, so long as he does complete the duties required of him.

Man, what a harsh past Haru has... a very moving backstory indeed but I'm glad her and her siblings are all in good care now. It's very sad one of them had to die tho.

It was a very good episode overall. The ending scene with Haru resting in Subaru's arms was something really heartwarming to see as well.

Confused me on Hachi’s story. So they got separated while they were running away from crows on ep 5 after his little sister was already dead. BUT 6 says that he lost him prior to running away from crows that killed his little sister and that they weren’t running away together at all and that he ran off while the little sister was getting attacked???

Damn, the cat's also got a backstory.
