I watched the movie in end 2022 ! It's hard to believe that the movie was made in 1999 ! If I would've seen the movie in 1999 i would've 100% said the this is the best movie I've ever seen. I can definitely relate to this movie as I have lost many cats and dogs in my life ! As an animal lover i always admire the animation which includes animals ! This anime portraits the cat in a most perfect way ! Although I watched this in Hindi dubbed , i still loved it ! Amazing details and makoto Shinkai is always a treat to watch ! Will definitely watch his other movies and work soon ! The your name movie is simply outstanding.
A beautiful short film that is an extra on the Voices of a Distant Star DVD. In a mere five minutes, you are taken into the world of the cat, Chobi, and his life with his beautiful owner, known to him as "She". I can't really say too much without ruining the experience. There are 3 different options to watch it in (digest, 3 min or 5 min), I advise watching the 5 minute version, you'd be surprised at how much more detail is in it. The only minor problem I had is that there is no dub. Normally I dislike dubs, but I feel if they had done a good dub it would have given me more time to admire the imagery.
Words really can't do this justice. See it for yourself.

As i said i like cats. But i must write something to publish this review. NYAN NYAN NYAN
Three seasons of this cats life is summed up in five minutes by the cat himself. He goes dating with Mimi in summer and she wants to marry him, but seeing as they are both kittens and he has an affair with an adult woman he cant do anything but make empty promises to her.
Its a pleasant short with lots of detail. The drawings are wonderful all made in black and white depicting the city realistically. The story is likewise interesting from the perspective of the cat. You can really tell a story in five minutes, thats remarkable.
If this is made by a débutant it looks very promising for hers/his carrier.

It's crazy that even when he's making a film that's just a few minutes long, Makoto Shinkai can't help but start strong and then lose the plot at a certain point. He's such a frustrating filmmaker.
This looks striking and it has a neat mix of cuteness and sadness early on. It's a novel approach to exploring the bond between a pet and their owner, though I swear I've seen this story - or a very similar one - adapted into a piece of animation before, and done better.
She and Her Cat doesn't really know how to end. It just sort of peters out at a point. I also think some of the sound effects were too loud and the narrator's voice became grating after a while (the last of those complaints are purely subjective though, and I won't let that affect what I score the short overall).
