The autumn chaos has started, and Louis Catorze is in big trouble.
First of all, when Cat Daddy was organising some important papers, Sa Maj decided that a paperweight was required, and that he was it:
Secondly, on the day of the autumn equinox, Catorze shamed us beyond words by attacking another cat who passed through the garden. Despite being much larger than Catorze (and, let’s face it, who isn’t?), this poor cat was terrified and desperate to get away; Cat Daddy even intervened to try to help him but, somehow, in doing so, only succeeded in blocking off his escape routes and making him an easier target for evil Catorze.
The little sod eventually emerged from the skirmish as the victor, utterly unscathed and ACTUALLY SPITTING OUT LUMPS OF THE INTERLOPER’S FUR.
And we have just discovered that, as well as rubbing his Gabapentin onto his new bed (which isn’t the end of the world since it’s only for his use), he has rubbed it off onto our sofa (which absolutely IS the end of the world since it’s for everyone’s use). It has discoloured the leather, and Cat Daddy is absolutely enraged.
We didn’t see Catorze do it but, before you all start sticking up for him, there is nothing else whatsoever that this could be. We do eat and drink on the sofa, but we always do so on the seat bits in the middle, never whilst leaning over the arms.
Luckily we took out additional five-year insurance cover when we purchased the sofa, and this entitles us to a replacement in the event of damage, including cat damage. But, no doubt, if we go ahead with that now, the little sod will only do something else to the next one, and I fear that the cover only allows replacement of the original sofa and not every subsequent one cat-damaged.
Cat Daddy: “Getting rid is going to be such a pain in the arse.”
I think he was still talking about the sofa.

Leather usually discolors as it gains a patina from use. Best idea is to hold off until near the very end of the warranty and then replace it, instead of trying to keep up. It’ll look like normal use. (That’s what antimacassars were invented for.)

You don’t have to feel ashamed. All the other cats should know there is a king living with you and avoid your garden.

You should be grateful that Sa Maj keeps intruders away! And buy a couch that is cat-proof, which means that when the cat “damages it,” it actually looks better 😉

Hahaha! 🤣🤣🤣 Sadly I don’t think anything is Roi-proof. He is the feline version of an atomic bomb.

Poor traveling kitty! I hope he escaped more frightened than injured…🤕 What with scrapping with Blue, Donnie, & others, It seems that Sa Maj is earning a reputation: Catorze, The Brentford Bruiser! As for the sofa, can the stains perhaps be hidden with a furniture marker pen or powder matching the color? It may still show but perhaps not as much.

I’d say it is most likely Louis. In our house, it is much harder to identify the culprit. There is safety or plausible deniability in numbers.
