The work reflects on the author's profound affection for animals, particularly cats, and recounts cherished memories and anecdotes about the various pets that have graced his life. Gautier offers an intimate glimpse into the bond he shares with these creatures, highlighting the unique personalities and quirks of each animal. The opening of "Ménagerie intime" presents a nostalgic tone as the author reminisces about his childhood and the early companionship he found in a dog named Cagnotte. His love for animals is evident, as he illustrates the deep emotional connections he forms with his pets, transitioning from the heartache of losing Cagnotte to the joy of welcoming new furry friends into his life. The text blends humor and pathos as it details the quirks of his cats, such as Madame-Théophile, who expresses curiosity and disdain towards a family friend's parrot. This vivid storytelling invites readers to enjoy a journey through the author's heartfelt reflections on his "intimate menagerie."
