The Cattery by K.A. Merikan
2.0
i am very confused.
i think that ka merikan’s books aren’t for me.
i had high expectations for this one, because i love weird things and people pretending to be cats for six months???? sign me the fuck up.
i have to say that the kitty play was so interesting and fun but the rest was a big mess.
they didn’t pretend to be cats for six months.
they were isolated in a mansion and they were cats very rarely to be honest.
the owner, louis, isn’t as involved as an owner should be. he has sex with his cats and that’s it. i honestly don’t understand why. he was the most useless character ever.
but let’s see those cats:
-ollie: i’m the best cat
-cinnamon: no i’m the best cat
-smokey: i could be the best cat if i wanted
-bounce: i don’t even know why i’m here but i have a bubbly personality
-clove: i don’t even have a personality.
picture this but for a whole book.
but the thing that shocked me the most is that they were fighting for louis????? THAT man???? why? he’s hot, sure but he doesn’t have an ounce of charisma, half a brain or a personality. i don’t think he even has feelings.
now about the “love story”. i honestly missed the whole falling in love because their interactions were: attraction, fight, ignore, fight, fight, ignore, hang out for 4 hours, fight, ignore, love ?????
how did you fall in love. HOW.
and ollie is the biggest piece of shit that ever shitted. he sucks as a person. sure, he’s pretty, but honestly that’s just not enough. he had a personality transplant at the end though. fun times.
the epilogue was SO random. we don’t know what louis did after, what did he say about ollie going away, cinnamon didn’t got what he deserved.
it left me with more questions than i would like. because ideally i wouldn’t think about this at all.
one star for the book and one extra star because i actually enjoyed the play.
this being said, i’ll keep on looking for a kitty play book that i actually enjoy.
