Narrated by a mountain lion living in an LA park, this novella gives a fresh perspective to several issues, including the human impact on nature and, particularly poignantly, attitudes toward unhoused populations, among others.

This was a super quick audiobook.
I decided to read the book because I saw it recommended on book tok and I really thought the premise sounded really interesting.
It was at times funny and at times dark. I think that reading from the mountain lions perspective was kind of fresh and interesting.
The way the humans of LA were portrayed was funny and actually fairly honest. I think that the way homelessness in LA was explored was FASCINATING. It’s truly a story you could have only gotten from the mountain lion’s perspective, so I thought it was very clever to explore that storyline and piece together how truly horrible humans are toward each other.
The storyline with little slayer was a little fantastical, but I think the way that experience contrasted with the ending was a good touch. For such a short book, it’s a pretty powerful story with a REALLY powerful (suspenseful) ending.

Some parts of the mind of a wild cat felt too human I.e. how did it have a dream about Disney? Did it really learn all of those details from hikers? And how did it understand the inside of a car before ever seeing one? Nitpicks aside, it felt like a deeply insightful poem with plot.The ending made me want to reach into the cover to find out what happened next.
