I’ve honestly thought a lot about it and it would be soooooo useful if they could create something that small for pets (not humans). They do have tracking collars but those are thick and bulky and I bet very heavy so I don’t think most pets could use it. I do hope they eventually make something that small but I also hope people like ML don’t get their hands on it. It’s one thing to put it into a pet who can be harmed outside and lost (especially domesticated animals) but an entirely other thing to put it into a human with free will of movement. I do understand his concerns and his fears and insecurities because MC did run off and disappear while pregnant but I think that’s something you discuss and let your partner know. It just takes a simple “I’m still really concerned whenever you don’t reply fast enough and coming home to a completely empty house reminded me of when you disappeared and that terrified me. Please can we set up something so that I can feel assured that you won’t just up and disappear? It’s not that I don’t trust you not to, but I’m still scared of the possibility.” BTW the car tracker won’t do jack shit if he’s walking somewhere and forgets his phone.
I think an AirTag is still pretty big for most smaller breeds of animals like rabbits and cats and small dogs. It would be really uncomfortable for them. But I’m glad that’s an option for the bigger breeds! I think it’s important to make sure you take all safety precautions to make sure your beloved pet doesn’t get hurt! Thanks for letting me know!
Is adorable in theory but I had a bf like him and after a while it gets really frustrating that you have to explain everything including things that are embarrassing or frustrating and trying to leave to cool down gets challenged because they can’t understand why you need to calm down after a “discussion” that was actually an argument. They also tend to ask for really specific and unrealistic things since to them, they think it’s doable but for most people it’s not. I say this as a neurodivergent myself. It’s adorable and sweet how straightforward he is and how prepared he likes to be beforehand but it can always flip into he won’t do anything without being properly prepared first and that he says things that are horrific to hear just because he doesn’t understand that the context sounds bad… like the divorce thing he said. To him, that was a valid point of discussion and something they should probably discuss as a “just in case” in order to have less issues later when they have kids. However, to everyone else, he answered a rhetorical sarcastic remark positively saying that he would consider divorce should it come up. That’s a horrifying thing to say while on the flight to your honeymoon destination. It actually jinxes your whole marriage. It doesn’t seem like a huge deal right now but when it’s happening every single day and you can’t get mad at it because it’s a mental condition that makes them like that and they aren’t doing it to be a mean person, it’s exhausting and not many people can put up with that type of stuff. If he can learn and implement what he learns and if he can understand that an angry and frustrated partner shouldn’t be questioned so matter-of-factly and the first order of business should be to deescalate the situation, they can have a really productive marriage. Unfortunately, my ex did not learn and would poke the already sore spot to get more answers. My point is, don’t rush into a relationship without fully understanding what your limits are and what you can and cannot handle. It will just breed resentment if you can’t be honest with yourself about what you’re capable of and what you’re not.

1. It’s seriously just not that deep.
2. 21 in human years is like 1.5-2 years in cat years so yes, he is an adult.
3. Cats are fickle and naive creatures. My cats believe im God just because I control the rain (shower and faucet) and that I control fire (stove) and wind (fan). They even believe I control the day/night cycle (curtains). Cats are smart but they aren’t THAT smart. The vast majority of them are survivalists and have intelligence surrounding survival. They can be trained so they do have other intelligence and they can learn to communicate with humans no matter what style of communication is used. Some cats even learnt to sign food so that deaf owners can understand what they need. Cats, by nature, look cute and naive and soft and small. The world’s greatest predator is the world smallest and cutest little cat and it’s got a 90 something % kill rate. The lion by comparison only has a 60% kill rate. Small and cute and deadly is a package deal. They use their cute and soft nature to seem harmless. It’s something the evolved to have.
Dogs by comparison were born to complete certain jobs. The fighting dog was created LITERALLY and selectively bred to be aggressive and serious and to go for the kill every time. It was created for such a reason for human enjoyment and although they no longer serve that function, they STILL hold that function which is why small dogs are so aggressive and hostile. They also age differently to cats. Dogs have their own age scale.
Nurture is also brought into this. A young domestic long haired cat who has always lived their life pampered until they hit a rough patch is very different from what is essentially a stray mutt fighting for its life from day one. My cats are exceptional at hunting but they are indoor cats and do not know what outside is like. If you find that type of cat naive… it is. It literally doesn’t know the outside world.
Please stop fighting against the fact that every animal is different with different skills and that this is a CAT book so the focus should be on a CAT and not some dog from an entirely other story. We read this for comfort and if that’s not for you, it’s absolutely within your right to stop reading. Let’s give this book the attention and focus it deserves.
It would be so much better if there wasn’t casual SA and it was actually addressed and stopped. Everyone just accepts it as a thing that constantly happens and no one does anything about it. It’s honestly really sad. No one put it as a tag or a comment so I went in completely blind and ended up reading something that triggered me but I was too far in to drop. I hoped it would be a one or two time thing but nope. All 5 volumes had it. Just a warning in case anyone else is triggered by SA and wanted to read it.











Babe? That’s his sister… they have the same eyes and eyelashes… they’re totally siblings and if she said “other half” it could be twins. Honestly before immediately jumping to infidelity, it’s always good to at least CHECK if they could be related by blood because I have read wayyyy too many Reddit stories of a jealous possessive girlfriend pissing on her territory to the SISTER or COUSIN of her partner and it’s honestly really really sad cause they literally always end the same. I’ve been cheated on before but if it’s a woman I don’t know and we just started dating, I’d be stalking my SOs page and entire internet life to see who is their family and who is their close friends or exes. It’s a bit crazy but it’s nowhere near the psychosis of pissing to mark your territory.
