Today is Dracula Day, which celebrates the anniversary of the publication of Bram Stoker’s iconic novel. I loved it when I read it years ago, and it remains my favourite book of all time.

Louis Catorze was perfectly placed for an Official Dracula Day Portrait – sitting beneath our Count Dracula decoration – when Cat Daddy tried to encourage him to scream, in an effort to capture the famous fangs. What better way to mark such an auspicious occasion? But the little sod wasn’t playing ball. Even with his mouth open, his jowls concealed the fangs.

(We have noticed that his jowls are less pert than they were when he was younger. In fact, one has sagged lower than the other, sometimes giving the optical illusion of just one fang.)

Monofang.

What are the chances of a black vampire cat, sitting next to a Dracula decoration, opening his mouth and NOT showing his fangs? Only Catorze could be so nonsensical.

Happy Dracula Day to you all. We will be cracking open the Prince of Darkness gin to celebrate.

No fangs.
Still no fangs.
STILL NO FANGS.

    Well, it appears to have been broad daylight when you took these photos..In the dark it might be different.

    Don’t worry, Louis just loves upsetting you.
    The next time, try to make him yawn rather than scream.

    The middle picture is reminiscent of Dracula, even with no fang.

    He might not have shown off his fangs, but he’s got the intense stare down!

    Happy belated Dracula Day (any day is as good as the other when you’re immortal)! 🧛‍♂️
