Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I thought the author showed love in a really layered way through loyalty, friendship, and even tough love within the clowder. You could really feel how the bonds between the characters shaped their choices, especially when they had to put the others’ needs above their own personal feelings.

I know it wouldn't have been much of a story without this, but I really like that Bushytail does not effortlessly fall into his role. The Idea that love is something worth working at is a big thing for me and I always enjoy a book that demonstrates that.

The bonds between the characters is the definition of love in this book. The friendship and loyalty shared between them is the form of love in this book.

Hi!

The author presents the theme of love in the book High Clowder Cats through teamwork while hunting for prey, the different forms of friendships among the Clowder Cats. The forgiving nature of Bushytail, who gave Brokenear a second chance after Bushytail won leadership over the Clowder Cats. Bushytail's love for the she-cat, Stealth. Mentorship among the Clowder cats is essential as well.
