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!
