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.

this is PERFECTION. the cougar is so damn endearing and eloquent and believable as a storyteller despite being unable to express himself with words. I highlighted entire chapters at a time (granted the chapters were quite brief but still). also made me hate humans even more than usual but they for sure deserve it (in this book and irl tbh). long live big cats everywhere!
