Fudoki by Kij Johnson

I read a story by Kij Johnson and wrote about it earlier - that one
was focusing on dogs and this one more with cats (and people)
There is an aged princess in Japan telling the story of a cat who is
traumatized by earthquake and loses her whole group and is in danger
of losing her fudoki, which is partially a history of all the cats in
the group but also "self and soul and home and shrine, all in one to a
cat.
I am not done with the book yet, but I like it so far.
