The article discusses the issue of living and thinking with pets. The author analyzes examples of popular literature, particularly books addressed to families and women, in order to seek for animal agency in the plot. The thesis is based on an assumption about the special bond between pets and female characters in such novels. Verifying the theory of Yi-Fu Tuan from his book Dominance and Affection. Making of Pets, the article questions pets as an effect of the human tendency to domination over nature and taking comfort in a coherent view of animals. Pets, according to Tuan’s theory, ought to be reflections of human desires and needs. The domination in its roots is male, but its repressive demands involve pets as well as women. This is the premise whereby the special relation between pets and female owners has evolved. That is the reason why it is important to examine the meaning of human-animal relations by considering gender. The space where the bond between women and their pets starts and develops is also significant. The home is the third main character of each novel, and maintains an actually dynamic relation with others.

Wybrane prace Chrisa Markera będą interpretowane w odniesieniu do obecności zwierząt w jego projektach. Idiosynkratyczne bestiarium, które może być widoczne w wielu pracach Markera - od jego filmów dokumentalnych i filmowych haiku z lat sześćdziesiątych po koty zamieszkujące Second Life i przestrzeń publiczną - skłania do refleksji nad jego relacjami ze zwierzętami w ogóle, a z kotami w szczególności. Prace Markera analizowane są z trzech różnych perspektyw: relacji technologii do zwierząt, relacji między ludźmi a zwierzętami oraz własnego stosunku autora do bestiarium. Interpretacja wszechstronnych prac Markera prowadzi do wniosku, że obecność kota, który pojawia się w różnych formach w zależności od technologii i rodzaju medium zastosowanego w filmie do pewnego stopnia warunkuje artystyczne kontinuum twórcy. Stając się alter ego autora, kot pozwala mu zgłębiać kwestie politycznie i społecznie wrażliwe oraz pojawiać się bez ograniczeń zarówno w Second Life, jak i na platformach Poptronic.

Selected works of Chris Marker will be interpreted with respect to the presence of animals in his projects. An idiosyncratic bestiary, which may be visible in a number of Marker’s works – from his 1960s documentaries and filmic haiku, to cats inhabiting Second Life and public spaces – triggers reflection on his relationship with animals in general, and cats in particular. Marker’s works are analyzed from three different perspectives: the relation of technology to animals, the relationship between humans and animals, and the author’s own attitude towards the bestiary. The interpretation of Marker’s versatile works leads to the conclusion that his artistic continuum is to some extent guaranteed by the presence of a cat, which appears in different forms depending on the technology and type of medium used in a film. By becoming the author’s alter ego, the cat allows him to explore politically and socially sensitive issues and to appear without restraint in Second Life as well as on Poptronic platforms.
