Merci à Dieu et à tous ses anges! We have renewed our subscription to the Cool Cat Club, and our order has arrived:

“Finalement!”

We had a brief fallow period of a day and a half before its arrival, after Louis Catorze had finished the last pack in the taster hamper. I had nothing to give him on Monday morning, and Pets at Home didn’t open until 9am. I thought I could stand strong for those couple of hours but little sod was an absolute hell-beast, creepy-staring, screaming, demanding play, thrashing around in the plastics recycling and generally scaring me witless, so I had to hold him off with some Reflets de France tuna rillettes. Obviously, at £3.70 a pop, this was never going to be a permanent solution. But you, too, would do anything to make it stop if you were faced with this look:

Saint Jésus.

I think back to all those cartoons I used to watch as a child, when the pursued would throw a string of sausages at the pack of pursuing beasts to keep them at bay, and now I know that it wasn’t just a dramatic effect for entertainment.

Anyway, having been successfully tided over with a combination of tuna rillettes, dampened Orijen and the ONE grain-free, fish-only wet food I could lay my desperate hands on at Pets at Home (which, luckily, he ate), Catorze now has his first choice food, in the following variants:

⁃ Deluxe tuna with shrimp

⁃ Deluxe fish medley

⁃ Ocean fish

⁃ Cod and salmon pâté

The little sod has his mojo back. Let’s hope he will snap back from his dental procedure just as quickly.

    Dinner or breakfast can never be late. It’s written in the book!

    So, not motivated by food then.

    Having now set up the subscription he’ll decide it is absolute poison.

    Just be careful that at the next Boys Night CatDaddy doesn’t open a tin and serce it up with fancy crackers for the humans to enjoy.

    Congratulations for achieving to feed your little Louis before he dies of starvation.
    Your life is far from resembling a long quiet river, doesn’t it?
    By the way, I love Catladymac’s comment and your answer to it.

      A long, quiet river? More like a raging tsunami.

    I always have a bag of Stella and Chewy’s freeze dried cat food. I will give the cats a few morsels to hold them over sometimes. They love it.

      Well, hopefully there will be no more running out emergencies now that Catorze eats Cool Cat Club food. 🤞

    Catorze est un siamois habillé de noir. Mes chats siamois avaient le même comportement et le même regard. De vraies majestés !
