I can’t find the words, this book isn’t necessarily profound but the way it was written and the writing itself and how the message is told by this cat really makes this unique. This reminds me of Grendel but with more refined writing and more important and modern topics. This cat is so existential it’s sad, maybe even depressing, to make a cat so complicated and deep but vulgar, I don’t know this was a simple but great read.
