Cat Daddy and I have just come back from a weekend on the south coast, leaving Louis Catorze in the hands of Oscar the dog’s family. Whenever they take over Roi duties, we always return to find him glossier and more healthy-looking than he was when we left him, so clearly life under their care suits him. (And, yes, we have checked that it’s definitely him.)

In other news, Merci à Dieu et à tous ses anges (or perhaps, as we are leading up to Hallowe’en, it would be more appropriate to say “Merci au Diable et à tous ses démons”): Catorze’s ear fur is growing back.

Nobody knows why it’s coming back. In fact, nobody knows why it went away in the first place. BUT IT’S COMING BACK.

Obviously we would love Catorze whatever his physical appearance (Cat Daddy: “[Indiscernible muttering]”) but we couldn’t be happier that he looks set to be back to his beautiful velvety self (Cat Daddy: “[More indiscernible muttering]”) in time for his big day on 31st October.

Here is a photographic record of his, erm, earvolution (you’re welcome) since the summer:

22nd June: ugly piggy ears.
13th July: a slight improvement.
26th August: much better.
21st September: as normal as he’s ever going to be.

    Wow! What an amazing hirsute fur result! Hope it stays that way all through the winter at least.

      It’s very noticeable, isn’t it? Nobody can understand it but, hey, we’ll take it.

      Merci! We couldn’t have bald, piggy ears on Full Moon Hallowe’en, could we?

        But that would totally fit into him being a werecat for Halloween. Wouldn’t it?

    Looks like he had some crusty stuff going on. Nobody really knows what goes on with cats.

    Glad to see he’s… earproving (so sorry for that). Such a strange place to lose all his fur, though.

      A very strange place indeed! But then nothing he does even faintly resembles what should happen with normal cats.
