When you write down someone else’s habits, you can’t help but notice your own. You might realize, “Wow, I narrate my grocery list out loud. That’s bizarre.” The observation log becomes a two-way mirror. It’s not about fixing them; it’s about cataloging the beautiful chaos of two humans co-existing.

Bottom: the one used for cat accidents.” People relate to that.
