Abstract

It is Francisco Umbral’s admiration for the life and works of Charles Baudelaire is well known, and we can see it in countless texts, columns, interviews and poems. In this article we establish the relationship between the poets through the figure of the cat and what this animal means in their respective works. For both writers the cat was more than an animal, symbolising the feminine, the divine, wisdom and time.
