| Summary |
"Bêtes et gens qui s'aimèrent" by Claude Farrère is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It focuses on the bond between humans and animals through the lens of a narrator’s experiences with a cat named "Chat-Comme-Ça." This charming narrative explores themes of companionship, loss, and the complexities of life from an animal's perspective. The opening of the novel introduces the narrator's sorrow after the death of his previous cats, leading him to adopt a new and unique kitten. This 'Chat-Comme-Ça' is described humorously as an unassuming and mismatched creature, yet it gradually captures the narrator's affection. The prose is rich with vivid imagery and playful observations as the narrator describes the kitten's early adventures, notable encounters with water, and the beginnings of its character formation. Through these initial experiences, the reader is left with an engaging promise of whimsical yet meaningful insights into the lives of both the narrator and the newfound companion.
