Cat Daddy and I went to the bulk store the other day to stock up on a few bits. The bulk store is one of my favourite places in the world but it’s very dangerous; it SOUNDS healthy and wholesome but, if you want to buy 934kg of sugary junk, you can. Nobody says anything or tries to stop you. Puppy Mamma and I once bought our weight in Turkish delights and chocolate-coated coconut things, then congratulated ourselves for being so earth-motherly and disciplined.
One of the things that I bought this time was a kilo of roasted macadamias, and part of the ritual of shopping at the bulk store is decanting our goods into jars when we get home. It’s messy but very satisfying. However, during the decanting process, I spilled macadamias all over the kitchen worktop and some of them rolled onto the floor.
Louis Catorze, who was hovering nearby when the incident took place, gave chase to one stray macadamia and sniffed it quizzically. Then he ran for the hills as if he’d just been poked in the eye with a sharp stick.
I can’t imagine what narrative must have been going on his head to make him think, “Sight of a macadamia: interesting and worthy of further investigation. Smell of a macadamia: MERDE, GET ME OUT OF HERE.” Or perhaps The Mothership beamed him a message to say, “Sniff it and run away, just to see what she does. Go on, it’ll be funny!”
For the non-believers among you, here is the little sod fleeing from the offending macadamia. And, yes, I needed a little help from my good friend the black markup pen, on Catorze’s rear view:

On some other cat log I read about a cat whose favorite toy is an almond. He bats it all over, chases it etc. It’s his favorite toy, Unfortunately I can’t remember which blog. But it is an earth friendly toy, you must admit.

Maybe I should try him with all nuts to see if he has a favourite?

With his tail up, Louis doesn’t look anxious at all. Did he start to flee up-tailed or did he raise his tail when being far enough of the nut?

I would have done the same, and then Louis and I would have gone for a big cuddle while eating cheese or smoked salmon or ice cream together 😀

Poor Louis! Let’s hope word doesn’t get out that he was traumatized by a nut. His reputation will be ruined. 🙂

Traumatised by the SMELL of one. Not the sight. Just the smell.

Tail up is a signal of dominance OR welcome if the tail tip is curved forward. So… The Nut is either a shuttle from the Mothership containing minions for Louis’ private army, a shuttle with genetic material to construct and/or clone toothy, diminutive black cat rivals, or maybe just a nut decoy.

Good grief, imagine cloning him!

Didn’t one of your classes already consider cloning since a black cat is good but a black Vampire cat is better?

That was breeding, not cloning, although I don’t know if baby Catorzes would be better or worse than cloned ones!
