Ever since MouseGate last week, eerie things have been afoot at Le Château.
Louis Catorze’s eating habits, which always shift a little during CST to account for the increased daylight hours, have gone completely haywire. In the mornings he still wakes me as if wanting food but, when we come downstairs and I plate up, he stares right through the food as if it’s not there. He is still fixated with the area under the sideboard where he caught that mouse, but I have also seen him on Rodent Duty by the cupboard under the sink.
Not only is the most expensive food on the planet failing to satisfy the little sod, but his latest victim-to-be is somewhere in our house. This is not great.
I imagine it’s only a matter of time before we discover a headless body. But where will it be? Will our cold-blooded killer display the trophy in his usual trophy cabinet of choice (the bottom of the stairs – spookily, exactly what his big brother Luther used to do)? Or will he deliver us a plot twist in the form of a surprise new location?
I was about to say “I can’t wait to find out” but I’m in no hurry.
