Summary "Barks and Purrs" by Colette is a charming collection of writings that captures the lives and thoughts of household pets, specifically a dog named Toby-Dog and a cat named Kiki-the-Demure, likely written in the early 20th century. Through whimsical dialogue and vivid characterizations, readers are introduced to the unique perspectives of these beloved pets as they reflect on their surroundings, experiences, and their relationships with their human companions. The opening of the collection sets a delightful tone, presenting Toby-Dog and Kiki-the-Demure in a relaxed afternoon ambiance as they engage in conversation. Toby laments his discomfort caused by flies and his busy mind, while Kiki exudes an air of indifference, attributing her apparent lethargy to the heat. Their exchanges are filled with humor and personality, giving insight into their individual characters as Toby's eager and naive demeanor contrasts sharply with Kiki's aloofness and complexity. This interplay of banter not only entertains but also lays a foundation for the thematic exploration of companionship, identity, and the often unspoken bond between humans and their pets throughout the collection.
