A couple of nights ago, when I was sitting in the living room with Louis Catorze on my lap, Cat Daddy walked into the room and said, “There’s a huge full moon outside.”

Not even a second after those words had left him, Catorze jumped off my lap, ran to the window and headbutted the shutters.

Cat Daddy: “He knows, doesn’t he?”

Before I could stop him, Cat Daddy had opened the window and let Catorze out at The Front. He disappeared for about twenty minutes but then returned to sit on the window sill and look out at his royaume, with the full moon shining down on him. Oui, Mesdames et Messieurs: HE WAS CHARGING UP. If you believe in the power of crystals and charging them up under a full moon, then why not cats (especially this one)?

However, if you think that full moon madness means we are spared from any nonsense at times of other moon phases, you would be mistaken. Here is an old photo of the little sod demonstrating that, moon or no moon, he is perfectly able to power up for mayhem and mischief anytime:

A charged-up Catorze is like when Banner transforms into the Incredible Hulk.

    I was in my Concrete Jungle last night, charging the new Corn Dolly and saying goodbye to the old one by reducing her to ashes.

    I didn’t want Ramses outside because he is SO attracted to flame, but he sat just inside the door watching me. A hummingbird, the last of the birds to visit before retiring for the night, was my only companion. He seemed very interested in what I was doing and buzzed around twice during the ceremony.

      I didn’t do anything much on this full moon, but I’m going to do a bunch of charging in the Blue Moon at the end of the month!

      Oh yes. He’s very moon-sensitive.

    You are luckier than us. The weather didn’t permit me to see the new full moon despite all my tries.

      Oh dear, what a shame! Maybe you will have more luck with the Blue Moon?

    You’re so right! I was just dozing off on the airbed in Alice’s sitting room and Theo came thundering down the stairs, did a couple of loops of the room and then went absolutely batshit crazy under my bed covers flipping his body back and forth doing back flips, rolling from side to side!! I quickly covered Merlot in case he got caught in the frenzy and Merlot quickly shoved the cover off his head he wasn’t frightened he just wanted to watch the display I think, he interspersed this frenzy with sticking all his claws in the carpet and literally lifting the tightly fitted carpet!! If only there was a webcam, I’m sure I could have sold the footage had I been brave enough to extent my bare arm out to grab my phone, but common sense told me I dare not move for fear of getting massacred!

    At least he doesn’t get overheated like cats who lie in the sun all the time.

      How is it that he doesn’t? It’s not normal.
