Synopsis
La Chatte is a French novel by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. Released in 1933, the book tells of a love triangle involving Camille, her husband Alain and his Chartreux cat Saha. Camille loves Alain, but Alain loves his cat, whom he has had from childhood, more than he could love any woman. The book mainly focuses on Alain and his refusal to grow up; his cat is the embodiment of his childhood. In the story, Camille and Alain get married and temporarily move into one of Camille's friend's flats.
