Obviously cats aren’t burdened with having to remember their keys, phone and debit card every time they leave the house. They just go, knowing that they can come back and let themselves in whenever they want, in some cases having access via a security door that doesn’t allow interlopers through. Alternatively, in the absence of such a door, some human chump will let them in if they scream loudly enough, whatever time of the day or night.

I know. They have quite the cushy deal, don’t they?

So, when Louis Catorze leaves Le Château on ICB, he doesn’t have to remember anything other than his regular feline sass, which he has by the bucketload. Despite the fact that he’s easily the smallest cat on the block, predators and competitors keep their distance. Even when he goes into the Zone Libre, which is Foxy Loxy’s territory, we trust him to look after himself, and we have been more reassured than ever since the day that Cat Daddy saw three foxes take one look at Catorze and run away.

Catorze has never been bullied by another animal, nor has he been hurt in a fight (apart from that one time when he took a fight wound to the forehead and the vet told us that CATORZE WAS THE AGGRESSOR). We don’t know whether it’s confidence, a total lack of a sense of danger or some sort of creepy Chat Noir magic thing but, whatever he’s doing to keep himself safe, it’s serving him well.

How wonderful to have such an easy existence that the most taxing part is thinking of new and inventive ways to annoy people. If reincarnation is a thing, I want to come back as my own cat.
