Le royal wine glass is no more. Cat Daddy kicked it over last week, smashing it to pieces and dismissing his accident with the words, “Well, we’ve all done it.” (No, we have not. Absolutely nobody else has done it, ever. Only Cat Daddy.)
Anyway, this left us with the onerous task of finding an appropriate replacement, which is not as straightforward as it sounds because Le Roi will not drink from any old glass. So Cat Daddy grumpily put down an old Bodum storage jar thing (minus the stopper) as an interim measure until we found something which Sa Majesté would deem acceptable.
Cat Daddy returned from the kitchen with an assortment of glasses in his hands, ready to try them out one by one. However, to his delight, he was met by the sight of Louis Catorze’s silly snout deep in the Bodum jar as he slurped away.
And that was that; as far as Cat Daddy is concerned, we don’t need to bother looking for a new drinking vessel. I, however, miss the elegance of the wine glass; it was just so much more fitting for a Sun King. I’m sorely tempted to try him out with a few glasses from our collection and, if none of them meet with royal approval, buy him a new one.
So … opinions on this one? Too much?

Not too much! Just right! The Sun King deserves the best. Purrs, Quicksilver et al

Well, if Catorze is actually the reincarnation of the Dux Bellorum instead of some fancy French king, then the San Graal would be perfectly appropriate.

Perfect. Except, of course he probably wouldn’t use it.

Of course he wouldn’t. You know him well!

It is appropriate for votre majesté. Of course he wouldn’t use it. Perhaps CD should be looking for a refined crystal goblet as a replacement.

No, he probably wouldn’t use it! We all know that he favours the grimmest & foulest things: a bucket of dirty stagnant water full of pond skaters and flies, versus a goblet of fresh water; a dusty sports bag under the bed versus a super-king-sized anti-allergy duvet etc.

In my mind – The Sun King as Indiana Jones selecting the Holy Grail with attend Grail Knight and Cat Daddy entourage …

A pity of the royal wineglass… I really liked it and agree it was stylish and classy. But, this is absolutely fitting for LeRoi!
