Last year Cat Daddy planted some tarragon in the garden, and it didn’t go well. Look here and here if you want to know the reason why, although I expect you can guess.

An actual photo of what happened, if you don’t feel like looking at the links.

Not wishing to go through the same pain this year, Cat Daddy just let low-risk, plain grass grow in what used to be herb troughs. The idea of cultivating special grass for Louis Catorze to sit on, when there is a WHOLE FIELD FULL OF GRASS in the Zone Libre, is ridiculous. But such is the Catorzian way of life; nothing about it ever makes sense.

As you can see, Catorze has not set paw in either grass trough, not once. The grass remains utterly perfect and untouched, just like the tarragon wasn’t.

Oh.

To say that Cat Daddy is raging is a massive understatement. And he was even more furious when he discovered that Catorze had gone gadding about in the longer grass in the Zone Libre (evidence captured below), chugged down however-much of it and then left a massive pile of puke on one of our ruinously-expensive hand-woven Harris Tweed cushions. Unrepeatable Expletives of the Worst Kind poured like summer rain. And not a shite was giv’n by Sa Maj about any of it.

Cats are bastards. But you already knew that, didn’t you?

    He’ll demand a jury trial, meaning a jury of peers – cats. You’ll never win. Sad.

      That doesn’t sound like a very diverse jury. There should be at least a few humans, non?

          I can see the headline now: “It took the all-cat jury 0.3 seconds to acquit this cat.”

        Why is it that cats always gravitate towards a rug or carpet when they puke? Ramses can LITERALLY be on linoleum when he starts the heaving process but then he keeps scooting towards the carpet. WTF? I have to be pretty quick to gently relocate him BACK to the floor – paper towel in hand in case we don’t make it that far.

          Oh yes, always the carpet. Always the last place you want.

    Do you mean Cat Daddy gave up growing some tarragon this year?

      Not so much gave up, as never even started!

    Of course he was framed. The dog did it.

    Next year if herbs are planted, which should include cat mint and valerian there will be utter carnage. So long as CD expects it then all will be right with the world.

      We did think about valerian but we don’t want all manner of neighbourhood randoms hanging out here. It’s enough trouble with just one!

    The answers are simple: Sa Maj likes to sleep in tarragon (a French herb used to make royal dishes) and not in plain grass, duh! AND he likes to puke on royal, ruinously-expensive hand-woven, cushions, he’s a king after all, duh! I’m surprised you two couldn’t figure this out 😉

    My cats were never a fan of herbs (except for catnip of course). A little mint in the box may keep him away. Then again he is a weird cat.

      No, he loves mint. He once puked up a whole sprig of it, completely with flowers. 🤷‍♀️

    Oh my whiskers Louis! Has Cat Daddy never heard of the sacred feline phrase, “If it fits I sits”? He can put his little posts all over that herb but you will still find a way. I would also like to suggest that if you become bored with vegetation, you might want to take up my habit-obsessive plastic eating. You can knock over trash cans in the middle of the night, force your humans to take all plastic items to the big garbage bin in the garage and you will still be able to yak up some disgusting items on any expensive carpets, pillows or upholstery you desire.
    In solidarity,
    Your Furiend Alberto

    He’s mocking you now. If it makes you feel any better, tarragon is a fussy plant to grow. Try planting something lemon scented and see if he leaves that alone.
