18 “I must immediately make it clear, the cat I am talking about is a real cat, truly, believe me, a little cat. It isn’t the figure of a cat,” Derrida claims, a bit too defensively in The Animal (6). Compare, for instance, Derrida’s engagement with his cat with that of Jeffrey Bussolini in “Toward Cat Phenomenology.”
