It’s a Hallowe’en miracle! (Yes, I know that it’s July, and only JUST July, at that. But it’s never too early to dream of Hallowe’en.)
Just as I thought that our one and only pumpkin plant had been suffocated by Cat Daddy’s murderous potato plants, it turns out that IT LIVES. You can just about see its orangey-yellow, pointy-petalled flower peeking out from behind that big leaf (below). It could be that, far from smothering the life out of it, the potato plants have actually protected it from the likes of the squirrels and Foxy Loxy and, with any luck, they will continue to keep it safe from harm until it’s ready to harvest in October.
Perhaps this is a good omen. After many attempts over the years at Louis Catorze’s Official Hallowe’en Portraits, which have almost all been dismal failures, maybe this is an indication that, this year, it will go according to plan?
I am excited beyond measure at the thought of little sod posing alongside a home-grown pumpkin. However, I hope he will adopt a prettier facial expression than this one:

It’s looking very lush at the moment. So many plants that we can’t see the soil!

Don’t blame poor Louis. I’m sure Cat Daddy took several pictures and YOU chose this one.

But he’ll have a homegrown pumpkin! (Don’t worry if it doesn’t get too big–it will be a proportional pumpkin.) Et comme ça, les jeux sont fait! Purrs, DV

It will be proportional! A teeny pumpkin for a teeny cat.
