Louis Catorze really is determined to try my patience at the moment.
Here he is, happily settled on my new jeans, so new that I had only unwrapped them from their packaging a few seconds beforehand. The piece of paper behind him is the invoice that came in the parcel with the jeans. I hadn’t even had the chance to cut off the tags. Yes, they are THAT new.
Here he is again, with the situation having remedied itself:
In actual fact Catorze chose to get up, at which point Cat Daddy was able to safely retrieve the jeans before claws – or, worse, cat arse – could do their damage. However, I prefer to think that Cat Daddy whipped away the jeans in one deft movement, the way old school magicians used to whip away tablecloths leaving crockery and glasses intact. (Younger followers: ask your parents.)
Had these been my old jeans destined for the clothes recycling bin at Waitrose, I’m fairly sure the little sod would have given them a wide berth. But that’s Catorze for you. Why we continue to be surprised by his behaviour is, perhaps, the biggest surprise of them all.

Boo went to sleep in my Next carrier bag with my new boots in it this morning. Oh well. Old boots it was today. Git.

Very discerning. My cats prefer theones I’ve worn for awhile – with some bits of cat (and human) food spilled on them – especially if they’ve been having Extra Gravy,

Aww, they obviously like the smell of you. And the food! 🤣🤣🤣

Currently, Xenia is enamored of one of my old wool sweaters. You can never tell with them what they’ll go for next.

Actually, Poor Louis needs to put his smell on your new clothes to recognize you when you wear them later.

Oh, he recognises me all right. He just pretends he doesn’t.

Hahaha… I will send you my new jeans. I always hate wearing new jeans. Maybe Louis can help to make them more comfortable…

He looks really good on those jeans, and the jeans look really good under him, that picture would work great as an ad for the jeans, I’d definitely buy them (and the gorgeous cat, too) 😀

At least he didn’t break them in by barfing on them. This happens (a friend told me….)

He’s actually not THAT much of a barfer, luckily. Although I did once hear him puke in about May 2018 and I still haven’t found it.
