Monsieur Noir and the Red Teapots

From the "Monsieur Noirs Travels" series, a mysterious black cat appears in various spaces, filling them with a special mood. Belonging to no one, he somehow inexplicably becomes close to everyone he encounters.
He appeared in the kitchen at an hour when the house still retained its morning silence. Outside, the day was slowly dawning, the kettle began its soft hum, and the yellow walls seemed to be collecting sunlight for future use.
Monsieur Noir sat calmly and confidently by the stove, as if he always knew the way to the places where a person feels warmer.
He looked straight ahead, an attentive guardian of the small daily rituals that make up happiness.
Some homes only become real after his arrival.
