Cat in the Rain A Short Story Set in Italy by Ernest Hemingway.

"Cat in the Rain" by Ernest Hemingway is a short story about an American couple vacationing in Italy. The wife sees a cat sheltering from the rain under a table outside their hotel room and expresses a desire to rescue it. When she goes outside to get the cat, it has disappeared, leading her to return to their room feeling dejected. The story highlights the wife's feelings of unfulfillment and her longing for care and attention, which she projects onto the cat. Her husband, indifferent to her needs, remains absorbed in his book, underscoring the emotional distance between them.

The woman sounds unreasonable and needy ... How can she say "if I can't have any fun ..."? She is traveling in Italy!! Isn't that great fun already?

This one reminds me of another Hemingway story, set in Italy, about a ghost nurse attending to soldiers... Anybody know it's title?

I think you’re referring to A Farewell to Arms. I hope that helps.

It's "its".

Most overrated writer of non-event stories in simple English. Nor sound nor fury, signifying nothing. Back to the evocative русские for me. :) Tolstoy methinks.

What a patently stupid story.
