Merci à Dieu: it’s half term. And what better way to round off the last week at school than with the second attempt at the French speaking tests that I’d had to discard the first time around because Louis Catorze did not respect the test conditions.
This time it was the kids who stuffed up the task for various reasons, so I ended up having to ditch these, too, and mark the previous test pieces containing the Catorze screaming as they were actually better. As I was playing them back, Catorze strolled in and meowed every time he heard his voice on the recording. YES, HE WAS REPLYING TO HIS OWN SCREAMS.
In other news, someone has been digging up Cat Daddy’s onion plants, and he’s not too happy about it. Unrepeatable Expletives of the Worst Kind have been used, multiple times.
Can you guess the identity of the number one suspect? I’ll give you a bit of time to think about it, as this is quite a tricky one.
Me: “Maybe it wasn’t him.” (I know, I know. As soon as the words were out of my mouth I knew how stupid this sounded.)
Cat Daddy: “Go and look at the hole.”
It was too small to have been the work of the foxes, and too neat to have been the squirrels.
Cat Daddy: “And before you blame the foxes or the squirrels, can you explain how they might have also dug up the chard that I was propagating INDOORS? Did they sneak in, dig around and then sneak out completely unnoticed?”
Oh dear.
Anyway, Catorze is the picture of innocence and says we can’t prove anything. What is your verdict?
Onions are4 not good for cats but I suppose he doesn’t have designs on eating them. He isn’t adding any fertilizer is he ? That’s usually why a cat digs…

Unless you can find matching paw prints or DNA, I think he won.

Onions? Vraiment? Cats don’t like onions and shouldn’t consume them. What on earth is Cat Daddy planting onions for?

I can’t imagine why a cat would be interested in an onion plant but some cats are just a mystery.

I have netting on hoops all around my raised veg beds, mainly to prevent badgers tunnelling and also to prevent them being cat toilets. But this would also work for digging prevention. Companies like Harrod Gardening or Gardening Naturally sell the supplies online.
