Director Inudo Isshin sings praise for pets again after All About My Dog with his new film Gou Gou Datte Neko de Aru based on the autobiographic short story manga collection by Oshima Yumiko. This time, pride of place goes to the feline in this sensitive slice-of-life look at the relationship between a woman and her cat. Koizumi Kyoko (Yajikita Dochu Teresuko) plays manga artist Asako, who is thrown into depression when her cat of 13 years passes away. Assistant Naomi is extremely worried about Asako, as she is so upset that she can't even continue working. One day, Asako wanders into a pet shot and buys an American shorthair kitten which she names Gou Gou. Gou Gou Datte Neko de Aru co-stars popular actors Ueno Juri (Nodame Cantabile) and Kase Ryo (I Just Didn't Do It).
