"Essays in Idleness" by Agnes Repplier is a compilation of late 19th-century essays featuring the author's thoughts and observations on existence, books, and her own adventures, beginning with the introduction of her fascinating cat, Agrippina. The author uses Agrippina as a way to examine the personalities of cats, specifically their independence and the special relationships they have with people. Repplier paints a picture of Agrippina's dignified conduct and the loving, but also slightly disrespectful, connection they have. Through her cat, she talks about what it's like to have a relationship with such a self-reliant pet, and she touches on themes of friendship, freedom, and noticing the beauty that's all around us every day.
