Summary "Les chats: Histoire; Moeurs; Observations; Anecdotes" by Champfleury is a historical and observational account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the history, habits, and characteristics of cats, exploring their significance across various cultures and eras. It presents a rich tapestry of anecdotes and insights into the feline world, examining their roles in society and the affection or disdain they invoke in humans. The opening of this work establishes Champfleury's personal connection to cats and highlights their dual nature as beloved companions and subjects of debate among intellectuals. The author reflects on the long-standing fascination with cats, mentioning notable thinkers like Descartes, Montaigne, and Audubon to position his discussion within a broader intellectual context. He begins to recount the historical significance of cats in ancient Egypt, discussing their revered status and utility, illustrated through various examples from art and literature, paving the way for a deeper exploration of their lives and roles in human society throughout history.
