Stupid Cat by Chuck Hawley

STUPID CAT - A Book That Will Wreck You (In the Best Way)

This book is going to change lives. It's raw, gut-wrenching, and uncomfortably honest. Stupid Cat isn't just about losing a pet-it's about losing yourself. It's about grief, depression, and that slow, stumbling crawl back toward hope. It's heavy and dark, but it's laced with the kind of humor only people who have truly suffered can understand.

Chuck Hawley doesn't hold back. He gives people permission to feel the things they might be afraid to say out loud. This book doesn't sugarcoat grief or wrap things up in a neat little bow. It wrecks you-and then, somehow, it puts you back together. Not in the way you were before, but in a way that makes you want to stay.

The title Stupid Cat is perfect. It lures you in with humor, with a wink and a nudge, and then punches you in the gut. Because grief is absurd. Depression is ridiculous. And the things that keep us here? Sometimes, they're as small and stupid as a cat, a sandwich, or a stranger in a craft store.

This isn't the kind of book people might expect from Chuck Hawley. It's not for kids. It's raw, real, and yes-there's strong language. But if you've ever been lost, if you've ever felt like you were standing on the tracks waiting for the train, this book is for you. Because maybe-just maybe-you don't have to get on.
