I think it worked, but I felt a couple of things got in the way of the mood for me.
– it felt weird not being able to use my paws as a cat, especially as the monologue mentions ‘scratching’ ‘catching insects’ etc.
– the autonomous non-roomba vacuum cleaner was frankly bizarre.
– the splash screen after the ending was jarring.
Didn’t stop me from tearing up, though.
Heart-wrenching…
