“He can’t be that unwell if he’s managing to do THAT” is set to become the third most common refrain here at Le Château, after “What the hell is WRONG with him?” and “If any neighbours ask, just say it must have been some other cat.”

My sister and her daughter came to visit at the weekend and, as you know, Louis Catorze loves kids. However, rather than showing affection to my niece (aged 4) when she was awake, he decided to visit her after she had been put to bed to stir up trouble.

The grown-ups’ chosen horror film for the evening (which was unbelievably rubbish, but that’s not the point) was repeatedly interrupted by “Loooouis!”, then giggling and thumping, then feline screaming, then more “Loooouis!”, more giggling and so on.

After around 90 minutes of this sleep deprivation torture, my niece was so over-tired that she lost her rag and bawled. Catorze’s work here was done, so he left my sister to mop up the carnage and pitter-pattered out to join Storm Dennis in wreaking neighbourhood havoc.

If you have sent him get-well vibes, merci. We could, however, use a few more behave-yourself vibes.

Party all night!

        I think it goes with the color. My old back cat was a character too.

          “A character” = cat owner language for “psychopath”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

            Yes. It’s short hand. Agitator, instigator and all around pain in the a$$ but very much loved.

    Oh dear… We have been sending “get well” vibes. We’re happy to send “good behavior” vibes, as well, but we are not sure what that looks like in the context of the Sun King.

    Oh dear „shakes her head“ … In this case I do not only send „Louis Catorze, get well and … Behave yourself!“ vibes but also „my sympathy to all in Le Chateau“ vibes as well.

      Probably yes and yes. I must add that he wasn’t distressed or in need when he kept my niece awake. It was just for fun. (His, not ours.)

      He isn’t. Trust me, he’s a psychopath.
