Strayed

At one point during my writer-aspirational days I thought I had an innovative idea of talking cats in the future. Now that's been disproven multiple times, but I still like the premise (love the Saga lying-cat) and there's one in this story, with psychic powers to boot. The cat and the rest of the book is gorgeously illustrated, but the story is just OK, obviously preachy on themes of colonialism and resource exploitation, which can work, but the dialogue is stilted and the whole work feels lengthy, like I had to slog through it (or skim through it), and the only sympathetic character is the cat ("Bad owner! Bad owner!")
