I agree all questions should be answered pertaining to the main characters. <br /><br />If you have secondary characters who will show up in another book (like a series) then it's okay to leave a question hanging.

If I could remember the title of that one book where the author never mentioned what happened to the cat, I'd find the author's website and ask her.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-21858042517045726662014-09-24T15:00:56.975-04:002014-09-24T15:00:56.975-04:00I believe you have to have tie up the loose ends a...I believe you have to have tie up the loose ends and had closure. What did happen to the cat? Occasionally, I've been satisfied with an ambiguous ending (did they get together or not?) but not usually. I agree with Jean. Gotta have closure!!!

We all know that cat owners do not forget their pets (nor do dog owners). I would never believe that.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430750954598484156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-52039880030813366952014-09-24T11:24:37.779-04:002014-09-24T11:24:37.779-04:00Thanks, Judy, I have put cats in many of my short ...Thanks, Judy, I have put cats in many of my short stories and books, but nothing bad ever happens to them.

I don't even think I would read a book about Hilter winning WW2. Ick. <br /><br />Looks like someone spammed too.

I'm glad I'm not the only inquiring mind who wants to know what about the cat.<br /><br />Thanks, Tina. I know what you mean. As much as I wanted closure on the WW2 suspense book, I kept thinking about the book and the characters long after I finished it because I didn't know what happened to the hero.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-80294349008243850542014-09-24T09:24:14.013-04:002014-09-24T09:24:14.013-04:00I like closure in stories.

That said, some are so memorable (for example, the Millennium Trilogy by Larsson), I keep thinking about the characters and what they're doing after the book(s) end. :) Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-1901783436308961622014-09-24T09:10:51.002-04:002014-09-24T09:10:51.002-04:00lol what ABOUT that cat?
