  • 2018 vous dit adieu

    If cats could make New Year resolutions, they wouldn’t.  Resolutions are what we humans do to better ourselves, but cats think that they’re great as they are and that it’s the rest of the world who should change its pathetic, inadequate behaviour. We also make resolutions to improve our everyday lives and to make them…

  • Nos compagnons à quatre pattes

    Cat Daddy and I have just spent Christmas Day with Louis Catorze’s Cat Uncle and Cat-Cousin Alfie, and we also met up with Nala the dog and her mamma a few days previously. (Gosh, that was a lot of the word “cat” in one sentence.) Nala is lucky enough to live opposite a lovely dog…

    Cat Daddy: “Why don’t you give Louis his flea treatment now?” Me: “He’s moving around too much. It’ll be easier if I pounce when he’s asleep and unsuspecting.” Cat Daddy: “Just hold him down.” Me: “Trust me, he’ll holler and kick and the treatment will go all over me instead of on him.” Cat Daddy,…
