No! But I only had the time to read ch96 and half of ch97 this week 
I promise I’ll catch up today!

Ok, 6 chapters at once, let’s do this!
Ch96
The eternal quest for a good sleeping spot ^^
Hopefully, she won’t get lost again
ええ！
Not only Chi doesn’t recognize her family but the mother doesn’t see her. Doesn’t she look around? oO
Ch97
「オレ様」, really?
Why does he use kanjis? He doesn’t seem much older than Chi… Is it because she was not taught by her mother? (Or maybe he is older than he looks)
I feel like the new cat didn’t know what playing is but doesn’t want to admit it (nor admit that it was fun and that he wants to continue 
)
Do you mean “チーと新しい猫は友達になりますか？”? (“Will Chi and the new cat be friends?” if I’m not wrong; DeepL agrees)
If so: yes, they will (it the power of the MC in a cute manga )
And if the question was “Do you want them to be friend”, I don’t know… He seems like a bad influence but she might make him go to the bright side of the Force 
Ch98
She did not get lost!
And the dog is rude! He could slow down to let her keep up!
So hard, yes: play and sleep
Ch99
Haha, too bad they did not already have a ビデオカメラ to record Chi playing while they get this one out of the boy
Also, why put the camera in front of Chi? She’ll either don’t care or break it :’)
Earlier today, I had one (not mine, a lot of cats come to my garden) play with a bit of string to distract him and prevent him from attacking our chicks (as in baby chicken, they should have been in my mom’s classroom but with the lockdown…)
Ch100
They are leaving a cake and a box on the table with a kitten in the room… are they crazy? oO
She could have done way more damage than that.
Poor Youhei 
Yeah but it was his job to mess everything up, not her
Ch101
That moment Youhei catch Chi’s paw in the box x)
P71, Chi seems to feel betrayed and alone
That case on the lower right of p73 :3
Cute end of chapter <3
Yes =)
For anyone wondering: yes, it is the same day as my previous message here, I even have 4 hours to spare

That means we are in the same time zone =D
Maybe I knew already… I lose track 
I read all 6 chapters today too!
I’ll just put one box for my thought, not separate by chapters:
96-101
She was so close to her family! But they didn’t see each other.
I think the other kitten might be slightly older, or just “more mature” (in a “hardened by life” type of wait, he does act bratty enough 
)
Leaving food out expecting the cat not to touch it?
But, how old is he anyway? They didn’t say… First volume he seemed so young, with toilet issues and everything.
Then they leave him alone? I think he is too young to be left alone… 10 minute, sure, but not THIS long… They make it seem like hours. But at the same time they left a note, so he must be old enough to read =P

Well, I think I said once or twice in this book club that my timezone is CET (or CEST if it was summer at the time) ^^
96-101
Maybe it’s because he has siblings?
They are 4 candles so I assume he is now 4 years old 
I agree.
That should not be the case if he really is only 4. Either the number of candles has nothing to do with his age or the author doesn’t have any 4 y.o. kid on hand to know what it is like

We don’t use that term, so would have assumed America
GMT+ 1
The world can never agree on anything, including what to call time zones
Time right now is 20:30 though, so when you posted I too had 4 hour left till the day ends, so sounds like we are in same zone, but different countries using different terms =P (Norway her by the way =P )
hm
4 candles! Of cause! And I did assume either 3 or 4 as the most likely.
And yeah, I assume it is the creator who is used to one very brilliant child, or just over assume

I don’t even know what normal people use here
I’m used to using UTC±X and forgot about GMT while taping ^^’ (And I know a lot of people don’t know about UTC so didn’t use it)
Also, it is CEST since last week, I forgot u_u’ (It was “fun” to wake up and see that all my reviews where early…)
(And it will be “fun” in a couple years, since the UE said no more time changing and every country chooses which hour to keep…)
I know, I looked at your profile (nice Deviantart btw :3) and also read you say it elsewhere, including in this message (to which I answered, talking about my country. Can you see it? It’s the second word To be fair, I didn’t write that it is where I am)
hm
On the other paw, seeing how human-like cats are in this manga, maybe the humans are all super-humans

I had a feeling we had talked about it before! =D
We are not IN the EU, but surrounded by it. So we are all begging to follow! If everyone else stops changing the time, we should too. I hate it XD
I woke up all confused, I slept THAT long?!!! I didn’t know we were turning the clock!
I know we do it around this time, but no one had talked about it so completely slipped my mind =P

Oh! right! I already have a hard time with France’s geography, I don’t really remember who is part of the EU or not ^^’ (I mean… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Supranational_European_Bodies-en.svg so simple, right? 
)
But will you keep the summer time or winter time?
Yeah, same here x) except I was really tired so did not find it too strange.
I didn’t even thought of checking when it was supposed to happen after hearing that the US had theirs the week before or something like that u_u’

I don’t care as long as we pick one and keep it!
They call summer time standard though, and winter is “daylight saving time”, so I am guessing summer would be kept.
I had to have a friend remind we that we set the clock when I commented how long I had slept =P

It’s the opposite here ^^ (if not for political/economical reasons, we should be on GMT, not GMT+1… (+1 again in summer))
I do hope we keep the winter time* but I don’t think that we will u_u
* There is no more “saving” during the summer nowadays and we are right below the UK so why not have the same TZ? It will be closer to the “sun time” so better for the body.
My mom told me after hers told her she didn’t realize either as she check the time on her phone x)
Oh! I just saw that I did not change the time on my (not-smart-)watch (which also is 2 days late because I forgot to change the date after Feb 29th :’))
Well, that was definitively on topic cough

Well, at least you tried ^^ Not like others… looks in the mirror… u_u
While I knew they were other french people here, what were the odds of having two of the three active people of the book club from the same country? x) (or four people if you count 2OC3aOdKgwSGlxfz but they only likes messages now )

Damn, I let a whole week fly by without reading x_x
@2OC3aOdKgwSGlxfz was the only one to post, only to make my previous message lie
Anyway, 6 chapters at once, again:
Ch 102
Wow, they have a very silent vacuum cleaner or the author never paid attention to their cat when cleaning because I only ever seen cats flee from the noise x) Well, I guess this chapters wouldn’t exist if it was accurate (or this whole manga for that matter xD)
She is doing it on purpose, right? Why put Chi where she will obstruct her later on? u_u
Chi likes being vacuum cleaned? oO
Well, that backfired quickly 
Ch 103
Putting stuff at the stop of the stairs, what could go wrong? (Even without Chi, that would be risky)
Nobody heard the noise?
That face on the top-left of p87 x)
Oh! Headphones… お父さん, you do know you can lower the sound to hear the house’s sounds while still hearing the music, right?
Since when does a kitten roll that way? oO
Poor お父さん ^^
Ch 104
P95: with this face, you know she is up to no good.
But nothing happened… yet?!
Ch 105
Is it just me or does Alice seems more of a child than Chi in this chapter?
Ch 106
Chi was panicking so much x)
Ch 107
Ow, a collar 
this won’t go well
Of course, she doesn’t like it x)
Wut? How could she be distracted that easily? Oh!, right… it’s Chi u_u
Well, I don’t believe the collar will last until the end of the volume ^^

Me three!
Looking for an absolute beginner book and my kids love Chi! Did I miss out or is the club about to start a new block?

We still have 3 chapters to read starting “tomorrow” (midnight japanese time, so 16h today here; damn I got the dates wrong on the schedule ^^’) and we’ll start volume 7 next week.
You are welcome to start at anytime; I’m watching all the treads (including of the first volume from the absolute beginner club book) so if you have a question about a chapter or volume, you can post in the corresponding thread and I’ll do my best to help

I’m probably over ambitious anyway. I shall wait for volume 7! Thanks.

You can try and come back later if it’s too hard for you at the moment but the first volumes have a lot of sentences breakdown (especially when Chi talks because of the baby talk). We stopped doing that for volume 4 because there was close to no difficult sentences (+ it really is boring and time consuming to do…)
Even without these breakdowns, it is easy to understand most of what is said from the images (except from some conversations between the adults) so I think it is a good first book* if you don’t run away from Chi’s baby talk although I would recommend knowing some grammar beforehand to ease the reading (I didn’t, it was hard ^^’ but the breakdowns and people answering my questions helped a lot.)
I guess you can catch up on the story in French or English but I would still recommend reading from volume 1 in Japanese to make use of the existing breakdowns. Of course, we’ll still help if you decide to start at volume 7 anyway 
(and that way you would have to do the breakdowns and try harder to understand ) Your call 🤷
* I still haven’t read any other book u_u (I have some waiting right next to Chi on the bookshelf, I’ll have to find the motivation one day… I’m learning Japanese specifically to be able to read Japanese books but I am afraid to open them, that’s stupid 🤦)
Edit: @Radish8 I see you liking the messages, come read with us
