Every now and again, Catorze does something to demonstrate that he can behave himself for a short while. That black mass on the left, on the sofa, is him napping in the living room. And that plate on top of the blue blanket contains sausages which are defrosting in the sun.

Now, with most normal cats, it simply wouldn’t be possible to leave the cat and the sausages in such close proximity. However, this is not the case here at Le Château. Not only can we trust Catorze to leave the sausages alone but, in the event of flies attempting to land on them, we can trust him to catch the flies AND to alert us to their presence with his bird-chatter noise. (Yes, he does the bird-chatter at FLIES. Yes, we know it’s weird.)

No doubt he will be back to his usual self (hunting, screaming, generally being a shite) by the time I finish writing this. So, please, just humour me on this one and allow me these precious few moments of believing that my boy is a good boy.

Guardian of the sausages.

    Ok, Louis is a nice sausage guardian, but what about other kinds of food?

      Ha, he would be a terrible guardian of jambon de Bayonne but ok with most things!

            I would have liked to tell you I liked your reply, but as usual, I didn’t succeed in doing it.

    Of course he’s a good boy! I still don’t understand why you keep criticising this sweet boy… Please keep in mind I’m wearing my Magneto helmet while writhing this comment… 😉

    Are you sure that that is Catorze?

    You have left something that he should not touch in close proximity.

      I doubt they (whoever “they” may be) could find a doppelgänger as small as Catorze!

      Once or twice a year, he can be a good boy.
