What happens when you keep a goldfish in a bowl!? Do rabbits only eat the ○○○ of a carrot!? New book 'The Animals' Say: That Love is Honestly Annoying' comically depicts the misunderstandings between pets and humans

KADOKAWA Corporation published 'The Animals' Say: That Love is Honestly Annoying' (Supervised by Kenichi Tamukai / Written by Yu Kozaki) on May 27, 2026. The book uses a comical approach, with pets speaking for themselves, to offer advice and warnings about how owners' assumptions and misunderstandings—born from deep love—can sometimes shorten their pets' lives. One of its key features is that it covers not only dogs and cats but also rare creatures like reptiles, birds, monkeys, and insects. Veterinarian Kenichi Tamukai is an expert who pioneered the field of exotic pet medicine in Japan, where cases were previously rare. Through his practice, he has witnessed many instances where pets suffer because owners impose their own ideas out of love. This book allows readers to learn about these sad disconnects from the animals' point of view. Dr. Tamukai states his desire to 'deliver correct information based on scientific knowledge and experience.'
