Since Brentford FC stormed into the Premier League, I have been furiously knitting away to create some scarves that match our new away kit. Yellow isn’t my favourite colour but, having seen some other clubs’ horror show kits – Spurs and Liverpool, I’m looking in your direction – I think we’ve got off quite lightly.
Naturellement, Louis Catorze is going through a phase of being a crud-magnet at the moment (see first photo below), and a light wool colour that shows every speck of crud has made my work utterly irresistible to him. He has interfered with this particular scarf at least 8,489 times, depositing various pieces of what I really hope is plant matter along the way, and now the wool is wound firmly around his foot and I can’t get it off (see second photo below). Any efforts to unravel it have been met with objections, and if I am too clumsy with any further efforts I will either snap the wool (not great) or push it towards his rear end (a cataclysmic disaster).
So I am just sitting here, not even daring to breathe in case of it ending up in that unmentionable location, and waiting until the little sod decides to move. And the fact that I want him to move is a sure sign that he will be here for the rest of the day.
Cats: just why?

Too bad Cat Daddy can’t lend a hand with “his boy” eh ?

I don’t think he could stomach picking out these bits from his tail!

I saw a genius idea yesterday, someone had wound their yarn onto a free standing toilet roll holder (they’d actually just put the center pole through the middle but it depends on how your yarn is wound tbh) so that it unwinds easily and stays out of the way.
Might help his highness to stay off it… But maybe not. 😅

Oh, he’d find a way of stuffing it up. He always does. I think locking him in a lead-lined underground vault is the only way forward. 🤣🤣🤣

He does this because he can and it amuses him. Annoying you is his life’s work!
