Cat Daddy and I are spending a few days in an isolated cottage in North Wales. When we made ourselves a cup of tea on arrival we were met with this, but it did get better from then onwards:
We now know the wonder of waking up to silence every morning. No screaming felines, no parakeets screeching at screaming felines, no planes, no shouty kid* in the park over the road … just silence. It has been some years since we last experienced the joy of waking up to pure, blissful peace.
*The same one turns up every morning with one of his oblivious/unconcerned parents, week days and weekends, from 6:45am onwards, bellowing himself senseless and waking us up. If you mention “the shouty kid” to anyone who lives in our street, most people will know exactly who you mean.
That said, I do miss Louis Catorze. Cat Daddy, however, says he doesn’t.
Catorze is, apparently, doing fine, and has not killed and eaten his chat-sitteur as yet. There was, however, a minor incident during which she heard his screaming and, believing him to be trapped somewhere, was opening doors and cupboards in an effort to locate him, but to no avail. Eventually she saw two creepy eyes staring down at her from the roof. Yes, the little sod had decided to climb up there and scream at her through the open skylight. No, we don’t know why.
We have been told that he has not ruined any work Zoom calls so far, which is somewhat surprising. But there’s still time.

Glad you are enjoying your break from Catorze and – apparently -vice versa.

Enjoy your interlude. The Gray Menace always plotted not-so-nice revenge for when we returned. Almost always this included hairballs on the pillows.

It’s been a while since we last went away but I don’t recall ever being punished upon returning!

Cat Daddy is a wise man. Louis is being looked after by a reliable person. Don’t worry about him and enjoy your stay in in North Wales.

Thank you! I know he will be fine but I worry that his chat-sitteur might not be!

So glad to hear that you are having a peaceful time, bar the stress of the dog mug (!)
How many times a day are you phoning home to check on Louis???

We are assuming that no news is good news with him! Is the shouty kid still coming to the park?

May your well deserved and long put off holiday be blissful. Your new cushions compliment your garden quite well. I think Catorze may try to pass off future infractions as “quality inspections – I’m just checking to see if they’re rugged enough” 🙄

Thank you! And if the cushions weren’t rugged enough before, they most likely are now! 😐
