Cat Daddy just called the patio “the catio” by accident. He claims that he yawned in the middle of saying the word, which caused it to come out the way it did. Whatever.

The thing is, I don’t think he knows what a catio is or is even aware that it’s an actual thing. (For others like him: a catio is a kind of wire mesh outdoor conservatory attached to one’s house, so that cats think they’re outside but remain secured and out of mischief.) My belief is that, rather than having this particular structure in mind, Cat Daddy’s subconscious intention was to rename our outside space as something that belongs, and has always belonged, to Louis Catorze.

I think his version is better.

Here is Catorze, relaxing in/on his catio, and he certainly looks as if he owns the place:

He loves his space almost as much as he loves himself.

    Catorze pretty much owns Cat Daddy too doesn’t he ?

      He does indeed. In fact, the little sod owns everyone and everything.

    I love this. And I really love the image, a work of art. Of course it features the beautiful boy.

    And I love the CL+CD narrative dialogs.

      Thank you! I’ve managed to catch him looking super-glossy. 😊

      Good idea! It’ll be the only great portrait he’s ever taken …

      This is true. They are all rois in their fiefdoms. 🤣

    Perhaps Catio was a simple Freudian slip: Put into his sub-conscience by his Royal Majesty?

    He is so regal. Be careful or he will rename your house Versailles

      He probably already has! In fact, that’s most likely what all the screaming is about: the fact that he’s renamed it and we still don’t know.
