Month: Aug 2020

Tomorrow I will be back at school. So, after almost six months of spending all day, every day, at home with Cat Daddy and Louis Catorze, it will once again be just evenings, weekends and school holidays. I am looking forward to some workplace normality, whatever that may look like. Online schooling was never going…

Oscar the dog’s human sister came over recently for some Louis Catorze time. They spent a lovely afternoon together, playing with cat toys and old cardboard boxes, and Catorze was on his best behaviour, the way he always is when guests come so that nobody believes us when we complain about what a psycho he…
-
A few days ago, I was woken by the sound of the council mowing the grass in the park at The Front. As I made my way downstairs the hum of the mower suddenly changed pitch, and my first thoughts were: “That mower must have just run over some rocks, or they need to oil…
-
Since we implemented Louis Catorze’s Front Curfew, he has been in on time every night without fail. Now, we know our boy and we knew something would go wrong. And we were right. Last night we’d had the window open for several hours and Catorze had been back and forth numerous times throughout the evening…
-
We had some sad news at Le Château during the week: Louis Catorze’s sparring partner Oscar the dog, aka the Flash Gordon to Catorze’s Ming the Merciless, is no longer with us, following a sudden inoperable illness. He was 13 and three-quarters, or in his 70s in dog years. Cat Daddy and I adored Oscar…

Good news: Cat Daddy has fixed the Sureflap, which is astounding as he is, shall we say, not a natural handyman. It turns out that the sensors just needed a good old clean. So we will not have to spend £150 on the snazzy space-age Sureflap with hub (although I was looking forward to the…
-
A few nights ago Louis Catorze somehow wasn’t able to come in through the Sureflap, and the little sod was stuck outside all night. If Catorze stops wanting to use the Sureflap and screams for the door to be opened for him instead – which he does from time to time – it’s hard to…

Today, 17th August, is Black Cat Appreciation Day. I know. Cats don’t quite have enough days in the year which are all about them, so what a splendid idea to make more. Anyway, the Special Day Makers of this world are way ahead of us. We missed Hug Your Cat Day on 4th June and…
-
A few nights ago, after I went to bed, I was kept awake by screaming, thumping, clattering up and down the stairs, all sorts. The next morning, when I found Catorze’s toy mouse on a string on the landing with the stick part broken, I had to ask Cat Daddy what the heck had gone…

When it’s this darned hot in the UK, two types of people emerge: 1. Those who stock up on Ambre Solaire and head straight for the beach, even if it’s a 14-hour drive and they have no air conditioning in their cars 2. Me It’s horrendous. Just foul beyond belief. Last night was so grim…

During my pre-Sureflap childhood, when any old random punter could – and did – wander into our home and wreak havoc, we would often find scraps of fur indicating that there had been an altercation between our cats and whoever. Our lovely tuxedo boy, Rambo, had a neighbourhood nemesis (evil Jasper – a black cat,…
-
Our road is being resurfaced at the moment, and Cat Daddy has had a good old moan about the fact that the trucks have been waking us up at 7am. Even though he is retired and doesn’t have to go to work. And even though 7am isn’t THAT early. If you have never had your…
-
Louis Catorze remains relentlessly and unnervingly punctual when it comes to his Front Curfew (10pm on weekdays and 10:30pm on weekends). He has never been late, not once, not even by a minute. It’s actually getting creepy now. On Tuesday night, when we were a little later than usual after watching Brentford play Fulham in…

After Louis Catorze’s biopsy confirmed that his skin problems are due to an external allergen, I decided that beeswax candles should become a permanent fixture here at Le Château. Have a look at this link if you fancy finding out more about their air-purifying qualities: https://candles.lovetoknow.com/Beeswax_Candle_Health_Benefits We usually get our beeswax candles from Cocoa the…
