[Astarion] is a cat. He's a black cat. There's a stray that comes into my house called Red... and he's quite feral. It took me three years before I could pick him up and hold him. He's totally cool with me now. Three fucking years. He gave me a lot of inspiration about Astarion.

I don't understand ending 1 a bit. I understand that it will be if the Y/N refuses Mychael's requests as much as possible and returns back to those mushrooms and falls asleep. But where does Y/N go that there is a trace of Y/N's body on the grass, as well as a trace of the body of the cat that the Y/N was looking for? How does the forest affect this? Bodies just disappear? And what does Mychael mean in this ending when he says "There's no much I could do if the forest had staked it's claim on you"? 🤔
Oh!! I should change that last line actually. I've gotten a few more ideas since the demo release, and it completely changes the context for that Bad Ending (you'll see what I mean as the days progress and more lore is revealed) but for now I'll explain the original intent with that ending! Spoilers below:
To put simply, the purple influence from the mushrooms brought you back to that spot for you to sleep and basically pass away in the night to nourish the ground where it grows. The same fate happened to your cat; though I feel like a lot of people figured that out already haha. I should add in some text that indicates time passes a bit before Mychael finds you in that state to be a little realistic, otherwise it does feel like bodies just straight up disappear haha.
As for that particular line, it's a normal occurence for Mychael; he's seen it happen plenty of times. But he deeply regrets that he wasn't able to save you from that influence, hence the line "the forest had staked it's claim on you." But again, it'll be changed in the future!
Fun fact: Before I did the art for the cat outline, it was meant to be more of a bump; the art and script didn't exactly match but I didn't bother to fix it. The thing you accidentally kicked causing you to stumble into the ring of shrooms? That was your cat.

Just thinking about the fact that housecats don’t recognize other animals as different species, they just see them as…other cats

Nothing heals me more than Carol Danvers canonically being an 'old' cat lady. Like, she has loads of cat toys on her ship, has tubs labeled Carol's snacks and Goose's snacks, and carries Goose on her shoulder everywhere she goes. Miss "I don't want the Flerken" my ass. Ma'am you live for the Flerken. She's your emotional support cat and your mental health would spiral without her.
