Quelle joie: the Forbidden Greenhouse is no more! As you may be aware, this was Louis Catorze’s go-to place during heatwaves, so we were just in time before he could cook himself during Saturday’s 33-degree scorcher. (And, yes, we know perfectly well that, if it’s hotter than the depths of hell and you’re a black animal covered in fur, basking in a greenhouse like one of those desert lizards isn’t a very good idea, but this is Catorze we’re talking about.) Anyway, what a relief to no longer have to worry about a potential “Cat dies in hot greenhouse” shocker, with me protesting, “But he CHOSE to go in there, and he kicked me in the face when I tried to pull him out!” as the baying mob come for me with their flaming torches and pitchforks.
The crumbling shed has also gone and Cat Daddy has treated himself to a whizzy new one with a sedum roof, despite the obvious risk of Catorze finding some way to ruin it. We are very pleased with it and we are now taking bets on which of the following scenarios we will see first:
- Sa Maj sunbathing up there
- Sa Maj and a friend (Cat Daddy: “He’s going to have to find one first …”) sunbathing up there together
- Sa Maj hunched creepily over a row of drying-out-in-the-sun mouse corpses, cackling to himself as he decides which one to lick first
- Some other bizarre and abnormal “You couldn’t make this up” type of incident that I haven’t thought of
All suggestions are most welcome, Mesdames et Messieurs.

Nothing at all until you let your guard down, then nothing until you let your guard further down, then nothing until you are nearing complacency, then SOMETHING de vraiment TERRIBLE.

Oh dear. That is not what we want. But I expect it’s what will happen. 😳

The tabby I lived with used to love sunning herself in my flatmate’s tiny greenhouse. We decided she was just soaking up nutrients, although hopefully she didn’t do it over the weekend!

WHAT IS IT with cats and heat? Warmth, I get. But searing heat? Nope.

He will manage to get himself magically in there (the same way he magics himself out the front) and you will have to try to figure out THAT mystery.

Oh dear. I really hope he doesn’t do that. Or, if he teleports in, I hope he teleports out again and doesn’t just get stuck.
