Louis Catorze has just tangled himself up in his new toy. (See photo below – and, yes, I did deliberately choose pink.)

Obviously we would have untangled him had he been in distress, but he wasn’t. In fact, he didn’t seem to notice that the cord was wrapped around him. Cat Daddy and I watched him at length, giggling a little and saying, “Any minute now he will realise.”

Nope.

The little sod took a break from play, went for a casual wander around the living room, then settled down on Cat Daddy’s lap, all the while remaining entangled and dragging the stick behind him. How on earth it could possibly have been comfortable is beyond me, but then we have never understood this beast and it’s unlikely that we will start now.

Here is Sa Maj, blissfully unaware of his entrapment:

Yes, that’s the wooden stick under his rump.

    Maybe that’s his new fashion statement. (And the pink offsets his fur color.)

    Well, this way it will be handy when he wants it again. He won’t have to go looking for it.

      Except he doesn’t know it’s there! So he WILL have to look for it!

    You have a very weird cat. My cat would have raced around the room until everything was off possibly knocking things over!

      Not this one. He didn’t have a clue it was there. 🤣

    Please, be cautious. Our poor Louis could tangle himself when nobody is there can help him.

      Oh, we don’t trust him one bit. That’s why we hide the toy when he’s unsupervised.

        This morning, I worried so much that I wrote « when nobody is there can help him. » instead of « when nobody is there to help him. ».

          Haha! Honestly, no need to worry, because we always plan for the worst when it comes to him.

    Admit it. You wouldn’t have him any other way.

      At times I yearn for a more straightforward cat, but I know I won’t get one.
