Story in The King In Yellow by Robert W. Chambers. This tale concerns an artist called Severn, who lives alone in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the titular street. We are introduced to him as he welcomes a cat into his home, who he talks to and feeds, before returning her to her mistress, 'Sylvia Elven,' where he finds her in darkness, in her bed, and waits with the cat purring in his lap, the sky turning pale.
