Comedian and actress touring all over France with her show One night promiseawakens the tender bonds sealed with her cat. History of the animal kingdom.
“I adopted Billy Jane from SPA three years ago thinking he was a male. But since I wasn’t 100% sure, I chose a mixed name. When I discovered a few weeks later that it was a female, I said to myself that this fictional name, a little nepo child would be perfect if he wanted a career. Billie Jane has the personality of a teenage Charlotte Gainsbourg: skin-deep sensitivity, strong emotions and a fierce little voice.
This cat’s love is quite hard to come by, he has a bit of an ungrateful side, so much so that when he purrs I feel a disproportionate amount of happiness. I feel like I live with and love a complex animal. Physically, she looks like a gentle middle-class girl (I think one of her parents was Norwegian), but when she gets to the garden, she becomes a real moth with a crazy hunting instinct.

I don’t know what he went through before he was admitted, but he kept some trauma. he always has a reflex to hide when he hears a noise, he is in constant survival mode but calms down over time. It’s extremely satisfying to see him gain trust in people, even if not all of them deserve it. I also discovered that he is possessive. when I met someone, they had a complete relapse and decided not to be clean anymore. So I started tracking the behavioral histories of felines, an extremely time-consuming activity. – and I finally beat him.
A love that comes from childhood
My love for cats dates back to childhood when my father came home with a kitten. His name was Amadeus, and I regret that I disguised him too much… Pets mark years and ages; i have a precise memory of ben the cat, jerry’s companion who disappeared, who sat on my computer keyboard while i was writing my college. dissertation… Cats are wonderful company, especially when you’re writing. I could have 8,000, but right now I don’t want my firstborn Billie Jane to suffer from jealousy.
