I'm just in love with this anime, I have no words.it is so simple and short that it makes me think more. I have seen alot of anime but this anime have a special place in my heart. It's called silent love. The only kind of love i could relate to, don't we all love that way without even using a word. That love is so big that we just simply be silent. I wish I had better way to express it but. I love this anime so much that's all I could say. Watch it! It's short and sweet. Someone like me from a corner of this world wants you to see this anime. Hope whatever I wrote makes sense because I'm bad at express.
I have always enjoyed watching films that are quite, soft and touching to the heart and in a way "old fashioned" to enjoy a Saturday afternoon and this film fits the bill exceptionally.
The use of classic black and white images to convey the mood and atmosphere of the story was wonderfully done and as short as the story was it wasn't necessary to go any further because it had already left a life long impression on me.
The woman referred to as only "she" by the cat wasn't always on screen but when she was you could see just how beautiful she was by the way her hair and and body was shown in each of the frames in the screen shots.
A very moving short film that is highly recommended for a lazy Saturday afternoon in the suburbs.

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).

SHE AND HER CAT is beautiful, sensitive and isolated, differ from the other Japanese animated short, it's more European.
Two lonely heart, few dialogs, and absolutely none-stop voice-over, the Wong Kar Wai style it is, e.g. Chungking Express. Obviously, Makoto Shinkai is more sentimental.
And sometimes the short subject feels like A MAN AND A WOMAN, directed by Claude Lelouch, tremendously moving, extraordinary deepening.
It seems that I should dislike the film. However, I still enjoy it. Because Makoto Shinkai show the honest feeling about love in a man's heart.
