My summer holiday, so far, has been all about Louis Catorze: organising his vet appointment, his chat-sitteur and his play dates with the little girl next door, and trying (and failing) to stop his ear-bleedingly noisy altercations with the parakeets. It’s like having an especially high-maintenance and troublesome toddler.
In better news, after what feels like an age, Catorze’s bald patch finally appears to be growing back. Obviously this is a relief. But how annoying that it will be looking comparatively normal for his chat-sitteur, whilst we have had to put up with it looking more like an eye than ever before, following us creepily wherever we go.
A couple of my friends have seen it face to face. One of them stopped laughing for long enough to say “I can’t believe it even has a … PUPIL!” before laughing again.
This is what it looks like now:
And this (below) is what we have had to endure over the last however-many weeks. The last one is the most scary, in my opinion:
By the time the chat-sitteur arrives, I imagine it will have vanished entirely and that Le Roi will have morphed from this:
To this:
It’s not really fair, is it? But this perfectly sums up life with the little sod.

The invisible editor did it again. This last incarnation didn’t involve a vet visit did it.

Don’t worry, I deleted the Invisible Editor’s handiwork! We did ask at the vet about this, when it was still quite small, but they said that since it wasn’t sore and wasn’t bothering him, we should just leave it.

Who knows? The cute eye we can see in the pictures can have turned into an inner eye as high-performance as the outward one was.
Have a nice holiday all the same.

From here, this eye looked like an attribute fit for a king.

This post sounds so dramatical that I begin to doubt about Louis’ eye… It looks a lot like the Evil Eye of Sauron. I think you should be worried about your future…

It did look like an eye. It doesn’t anymore. It’s almost gone. 🤷♀️

It is very creepy. Darth Vader wants to know how his royal cousin acquired his Eye of Sauron and if it has sped up food delivery. If so, Darth wants one, too.

Le Roi has been very secretive indeed about how he acquired it! 😱

Three eyes watching me at all times, not just at mealtimes! When his back was turned, he was still watching.

Well, he’s now back to his “normal” self. Whether he’s beautiful is anyone’s guess.
