Now that Louis Catorze is officially a teenager, he is doing what teenagers do and spending most of his time out. I barely see him these days; although he’s beside me when I wake up, as soon as he’s had his breakfast he’s off out again.
Nobody knows where he goes or what he does … or, at least, we didn’t know until Mamma Next Door sent me this photo:
Catorze appears to be deeply involved in ICB* with Blue the Smoke Bengal. Relations between them have been, erm, somewhat mixed until now – and, naturellement, this was entirely Catorze’s fault for being a miserable sod – so I am delighted to see them getting along.
*Important Cat Business
I wish I knew what they were talking about. I like to think Catorze was giving Blue some fox-avoidance tips as poor Blue has been the victim of foxy bullying in the past, whereas foxes either ignore Catorze (not a worthwhile snack) or run away from him (no idea what he is).
However, it’s quite possible that Blue was the one passing on advice to Catorze. And, since Blue is a highly prolific hunter with some impressive kills on his rap sheet, this could have disastrous consequences …

They are going to form a gang; intimidate the fox, scare the birds and hangout getting high on catnip. (… the music from Westside Story is heard playing in the background…)

Maybe they were sharing tips on dealing with their humans. 🙂

Blue loves his mamma so he’s obviously getting something right! Catorze is the one who has … complaints.

ICB is very cryptic a business.
The day Mamma Next Door took the picture, Louis was the lookout. He obviously noticed her. Needing a watcher is not reassuring, but it is how ICB works.

Haha, Blue is much younger than Catorze. So plenty of potential for one to be a bad influence on the other! 😱😱😱

Well yeah, I’m sure they exchange some ICB! Maybe even preparing trouble ahead …

They seem to get along well but there’s still “un fossé” between them (literally), so maybe they are in the middle of diplomatic negotiations “pour construire une relation durable.”

Aww, I know it’s not really his fault. He’s just being a cat. I don’t want Catorze to copy him though!

Blue is boasting about his latest execution:“‘too-wit – coo’, a blundering pigeon who deigned to cross my garden of temptation was no match for me. Ha! Silly bird – a life cut short with a flick and a pounce. I dragged him through the private entrance to my home leaving a trail of blood and feathers. I presented said pigeon to my mama in her boudoir which I made sure to adorn with a cascade of feathers and festooned myself with same festering
