Reaction to The Big Cat

I thought Louise Erdrich's The Big Cat story was intense. It bothers me in one of the parts where the character describes his ex wife as something dark and negative. That means that he lost love for her and no matter how much he says that they divorced for many other reasons, I really feel that he divorced her because of the way she snored. And it bothers me more knowing that he was going back with his ex wife while still regretting leaving his current wife. That is some uncomfortable situation for someone to live in. I really liked how the author connected the daughter's situation with her parent's divorce. It really makes me feel that the divorce was really a purpose for the divorce and it links a connection to the daughter's very first loud snore because of her first boyfriend that left her.
