We all know that Louis Catorze opens portals to hell and communes with evil spirits on a daily basis, not just in October but all year round. This isn’t great but there’s not much we can do about it, and the last thing we want to do is have him/them feed on our fear, so we largely ignore it and hope it will go away.

So what better way to show one’s devotion to the Sun King than to, erm, send him a gift that encourages him to do it even more? Lucky Catorze received this fabulous cushion a few months ago, but somehow it seems fitting to feature it now. LOOK AT IT:

He doesn’t need the board or the planchette: he just does this with his MIND.

Me: “Don’t you think this is SO him?”

Cat Daddy, without looking up from his laptop: “That cat’s better-looking.”

Anyway, Catorze absolutely loves his gift although, being the Sun King, he does insist on us gradually moving it across the sofa as the sun moves. And it seems to have become like a docking station from the Underworld, with Catorze sitting there to power up for his next bit of mischief. Not really what we need at the moment but we are powerless to stop it, and I suspect that, if we burned the cushion and buried the ashes in a faraway churchyard, it would only reappear on our sofa the next day, as pristine as the day it was made and with Sa Maj perched atop it.

Here are some pictures (below) of Catorze going from regal to oh-good-grief in a matter of seconds.

Thank you, Cathie, for this lovely gift!

Thou shalt adore the king …
Even when he washes his arse.

    Our human has that image on a sweatshirt she wears shopping. So far no djinns have followed her home.

        All of us know it’s thanks to you, but does Louis know it?
        I doubt his friends who live in the Underworld told it to him.

          His friends in the Underworld seem to communicate with him an awful lot …

    I am glad Sa Maj finally received the right kind of pillow for his delicate behind 😀

    I love that you move Louis’ cushion incrementally across the couch for him to catch the best sun beams. I thought I provided a luxurious life for my cats, but I am obviously falling short as a servant.

      If yours don’t know that they’re missing out on being a feline sundial, it’s maybe best you just don’t say anything. 🤣🤣🤣

        Too late for that. They all read le Blog. Darth also wants a special cushion like le roi’s upon which to catch sun rays and access the dark side.

          In that case, you’re doomed. And you have more of them, so you’re doomed x 6! 🤣🤣🤣

      Apparently the design is called His Master’s Voice! If you search for that name + “cat” you will find all manner of things!

    Love it (although the pillow cat is sadly lacking fangs) 🙂
