Nooooooo. Oh. Mon. Dieu.

Wouldn’t you just know it: after the fur initially grew back to the point of almost being normal again, Louis Catorze’s evil eye bald patch is now returning. Just in time for the spooky season.

Black (white?) hole.

At the moment it just looks like a hole. But, no doubt, it will mutate and evolve during the next few weeks, drawing strength from the unseen dark forces of the season. And, by the time Hallowe’en arrives it will be a fully formed eye, following me creepily around the room even when Catorze is asleep.

I am not rushing him to the vet just yet because, at the moment, it doesn’t seem to be bothering the little sod. I hope it won’t get worse, though. The next month is such a busy one for me, and I really could do without having to daub medication onto a cat who doesn’t want to be daubed.

Please send thoughts and prayers. Please also send crucifixes and holy water, if you have them.

      One for each room plus spares for any that might burst into flames? 😬

    Hopefully, it’s just a passing aberration

      It won’t be. It’ll be here until Hallowe’en and El Día de Los Muertos, then it will vanish on 3rd November.

    I can’t do sanctified crosses or holy water. I can do a nice line in stakes though.

      That might be more effective for a vampire!

        With his fangs he does a good impression of being a vampire.

    Poor you. The cursed eye is back. Don’t you think it is high time to call in an exorcist rather than think of going to the vet?

      As soon as I mention the cat’s name, they hang up. 😐

    By the way, I’m cursed too, since I can’t « like » any answer of yours.

      What’s going on with WordPress? It went through a phase of not letting me reply to comments so I was very worried that everyone would think me rude.

    Darth Vader politely requests detailed instructions on how to acquire and/or summon the appearance of the Eye of Sauron on one’s pitch black coat.

      Absolutely nobody knows. But I’m sure Sa Maj will telepathically send the answer to his frère from another mère. 🐈‍⬛

    Where is that spot? Is he overgrooming?

      It’s kind of on his shoulder, and he’s deffo not overgrooming. There’s no sign of soreness, redness, broken skin, lumpiness, nothing. Just an evil eye!

    Is there some plant going to seed at the time ? Do you use one of those flea treatments that you put on the skin ? Sometimes those take the fur off. Otherwise – purrayers and Power of the Paw !

      I do use that flea treatment, but it doesn’t go anywhere near that part of his body. What a silly sod he is.
