Synopsis:

A lady lives a quiet life with her two loves: alcohol, and her many cats. She’s had many of the latter over the years including an oft-grumpy Scottish Fold mix and Poko, an orange ball of energy who was abandoned as a kitten and saved to live another day. Whether the kitties are playing with cotton gloves, getting to know each other or causing mischief, they and the lady live happily together.

She and Her Cat and Kuruneko are lovely stories of a pet owner with her pet, though SaHC is quite a bit more melancholy while Kuruneko is lighthearted and comedic at times.

Both anime feel like they were made for each other. Similar animation, sweet, and serious at times. the only differece is that kuruneko is more about the human's life and her cats where she and her cat takes it the other way around telling the story from the cats point of view. check one out if you liked the other.

Though She and Her Cat has a much less comedic tone than Kuruneko, both anime are about the relationship between a woman and her pet cats. If you enjoy short anime about that and enjoyed one, then you may want to check out the other.

Egao and Kuruneko are short, touching tales of a woman and her pet/s. You'll definitely appreciate one if you liked the other.

If you enjoyed the comedy of the relationships between owners and their pet cats in either of these short anime, then you may want to consider watching the other. Both focus on the slightly bizarre behaviours of our feline friends and if you like the slice of life approach to this then you may well enjoy both of these series.

Cats! Who doesn't love them. Both Kuruneko and Chi's Sweet Home have adorable purrers getting into all kinds of funny situations with their owners. The episodes are very short on both shows, making for an easy watch and keeping things interesting. If you enjoyed one of these shows for being about cats, simple as that, I'd definitely recommend watching the other.

Cats doing adorable cute annoying cat like things with their humans along for the ride. Both have short episodes that make you want to marathon them as fast as you can. Chi's sweet home is slightly more light hearted than kuruneko. Check one out if you liked the other.
