It will lie the whole evening on your knee, purring and happy in your society, and leaving the company of creatures of its own society to be with you.”

Summary
"It is no easy matter to win a cat’s love, for cats are philosophical, sedate, quiet animals, fond of their own way, liking cleanliness and order, and not apt to bestow their affection hastily. They are quite willing to be friends, if you prove worthy of their friendship, but they decline to be slaves. They are affectionate, but they exercise free will, and will not do for you what they consider to be unreasonable."
-Théophile Gautier, Ménagerie intimeCombeferre sets himself to a seemingly impossible task.
