A triangle with a cat, we are who we are and a love story. The Cat was first published in 1933 as a serial in the magazine Marianne and subsequently as a short novel by a Parisian publishing house.

Colette wrote it because she loved cats, so much so that she even dedicated the title of one of her books to them. The novel reads as if it were written for the theatre and shares many characteristics of a play: evocative language, engaging dialogue, few settings.
