Sa Majesté Louis Catorze, Le Roi Soleil, supreme ruler of Le Château, sworn enemy of canine foe and scourge of Ocado delivery drivers.

Suis-moi, tout va bien

In the U.K. last week, a person (who remains unknown, but I would bet Le Château on them being male) called the police to report that they were being followed by a cat. The story went viral in the media, leading the police to remind us, “Think before you dial”.

Despite being a nation of animal lovers, we Brits were quick to laugh at the story and/or condemn the caller. We may well live in a strange age of Amazon orders and takeaways arriving long before the police ever would but, even so, we don’t like the idea of anyone wasting their time.

But what if YOU were that hapless man? And what if the cat looked like this (below)?

You see? It’s not so funny now, is it?

“I’m sorry, caller, you want to report WHAT?”
“Please secure your doors and windows. Uniformed officers will be with you soon.”

      Or maybe the cat just wanted a cuddle!

    Did the caller happen to mention the size of the cat ? People jogging in the foothills have been stalked and attacked by mountain lions driven down closer to civilization by the drought and loss of game habitat from the wild fires. On the other hand, given how many people claim they are allergic to cats maybe it was somekitty like Louis.

      No report has been given about the appearance of the cat. But it happened in North London so, unless Catorze teleported, I’m guessing it wasn’t him?

    I hate to ask, but do we know which neighborhood the caller called from?

    Personally, if a cat had followed me, I would have been afraid of the cat getting lost and rather than call the police, I would have told the cat to go back to its place.

    Seriously…??? Hahaha… what a great story! I would be happy if a cat was following me but yes, I would call the police too if it was a dog following me… 🙂

      I might have done, too, depending on the type of dog! Friendly labrador: ok. Chihuahua: HELL, NO.

    Are you sure it wasn’t Catorze? He may have worked out how to use the tube by now.

    What if it was the giant “Choupette” that recently attended the Met Ball in New York?

    Thank you for mentioning Choupette! I somehow missed that critical piece of Feline News. A quick Google search truly made my morning.
