Welcome Back, Galaxy Geek.
So I recently picked up A Man and His Cat by Umi Sakurai. It's basically a slice of life manga about a cat who, while in the pet store, was passed over for younger, cuter kittens. One day he is adopted by Fuyuki Kanda, a widower and former concert pianist, who gives him the name Fukumaru. It's mostly slice of life stories about Fukumaru and Kanda that are by turns sad, heartwarming, and funny.

I actually read the first book though one of my library's digital services. I liked it so much that I bought the three volumes that are currently available.

Here are some pictures from the first chapter.






You can no doubt find it on amazon, but I like to by my anime/manga from Right Stuf. A good choice if you live in the US or Canada

Glad to hear that you liked it! Volume four will be released this September. A live-action TV series was also made based on the manga. Fukumaru and other cats are played by puppets.
