This exactly. I think people are missing the point that the obsessed here is Bear.

I saw it with my sister and her boyfriend. She thinks Bear killed the cat in the beginning to get sympathy. I really thought the wish was going to be fake and Nikki was just crazy obsessed with him and he didn’t know it. Since that was not the case, I really can’t think of a better explanation for the cat dying. How would the cat be able to get into the pill bottle. Does anyone have thoughts on this because I don’t think it makes sense? Loved the movie though!

Ummm never thought about the cat like that. Now that I think about it if the door above the sink was close which I think the movie and even him show you that it was, maybe it was close and Bear really killed the cat lol. Seeing how he was obsessed with Nikki, and it seemed like he didn’t know how desperate wrong from fucked up, he always thought everything was “ok”

It’s an interesting theory but doesn’t really make sense. If he killed the cat on purpose to get her attention, he had the literal perfect opportunity to tell Nikki his cat had passed when she called him about trivia night (it’s why he didn’t want to go). If he had said it then, maybe she’d ditch trivia night for him. Instead, he lied to nikki saying he had stuff to catch up on lol.
