It blends elements of comedy and drama while addressing themes of loyalty, betrayal, and companionship amid a charming storytelling format. The
story begins with the sorrowful plight of Mère Michel, who, after the death of her husband, adopts a cat to lift her spirits. However, her new pet soon becomes the target of jealousy from Lustucru, the house steward, leading to a series of comedic and dramatic events that include attempts to harm Moumouth. As Mère Michel searches for her lost kitty, numerous escapades unfold, ultimately culminating in a miraculous return. The book concludes with Mère Michel inheriting a cottage, and with Moumouth living happily alongside a new feline friend, echoing the bonds of affection and loyalty that prevail despite adversity.
