Illustrated by Antoine Guilloppe Mephisto, a black cat, lives apart from other cats.
Still, nothing is as important to Mephisto as his freedom..
He decides to leave behind the world of humans for a peaceful life in the country, but once winter comes and he returns to the city, the townspeople find that they need him after all.
Instead he dodges constant insults and abuse.
Shunned by the townspeople for being a harbinger of bad luck, he never gets to sit inside by the fireplace like the tomcats do.
