| Summary | "Le Chat du Neptune" by Ernest d'Hervilly is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book is a whimsical tale that centers around the adventures of a ship's cat named Tom, who is rescued from a shipwreck and finds his way aboard the steamer Neptune. The narrative explores themes of companionship, mischief, and the humorous interactions between Tom and the ship's crew, particularly Lieutenant Coquillard, who becomes deeply fond of the cat. The story begins with the discovery of Tom on a deserted ship, where he had been left behind. Once aboard the Neptune, Tom quickly adapts to ship life, delighting in the attention of the crew and causing mischief throughout the ship. His antics include playful destruction of the lieutenant's collection of taxidermied birds and a hilarious incident involving a parrot. As Tom navigates his new environment, he encounters various challenges that highlight his curious nature and tendency for trouble. Ultimately, the narrative provides a humorous and tender look at the bond between the lieutenant and Tom, as well as the delightful chaos a pet can bring into one's life.
