Our Cat-Disliking Friend came for dinner again at the weekend. And, since he has just moved to the area permanently, I expect we will be seeing more of him.

When I told him about Le Blog, and about the fact that refer to him as Cat-Disliking Friend, he revealed that he does actually like individual cats, and finds them “soothing” company, but just doesn’t like it when they shit in his garden. When I reminded him that at least cats have the grace to bury it, and that not only do we have to pick up after dogs but they roll around in fox shit*, he agreed that maybe cats weren’t so bad after all. Although he wasn’t able to explain exactly who these soothing cats were, and where I might find them. I think there might have been a sighting of one somewhere in 2018 but … does anyone know for sure?

*When Catorze’s sparring partner Oscar the dog was around, Dog Mamma would tell us the most awful fox shit stories. If you don’t know about dogs and the things they get up to with fox shit, you have dodged a bullet.

When CDF arrived, after considering whether to be aloof or obsequious, Louis Catorze eventually settled for, erm, full-on aggressive. For twenty minutes there was purring, headbutting and rolling so intense and relentless that I occasionally wondered if I should intervene (but I didn’t bother because it was funny). Then the little sod spotted movement in the area under the bird feeder, and went to assume the position for Rodent Duty.

He then spent the rest of the evening out at The Front, popping in occasionally through the open window to put his front paws on CDF’s legs and scream in his face. CDF would stroke him and say, “What do you want?” Mon gars, it’s been nine years and we still don’t know.

Overall, I think Catorze had it right in terms of the balance of “I’m going to annoy the merde out of you” and “Whatever, couldn’t give a merde”, whilst also ensuring that he didn’t miss out on man-love. Bien joué, Le Roi.

Whilst on their second bottle of wine (although the first was a magnum so, really, it was their third), the gentlemen mooted the idea of creating a Dark Web version of Le Blog, run by Cat Daddy. The following topics were mentioned for publication:

1. “What I REALLY think” (I can’t say I like the sound of this, whatever it might mean).

2. “Click here if you want any of Catorze’s leftover Gabapentin” (the fact that CDF wanted to take up this offer should, in itself, be a worry).

How do you feel about the idea of Le Dark Blog? Can you think of any material that you would like to see? Or do you think it’s an absolutely terrible idea which should never see the light of day?

Ugh. I know what dogs do on pavements.

    I think everything you post is wonderful – but in the words of Brigitte Bardot: “I really am a cat transformed into a woman.”

    Cats know when a hoo-man doesn’t like them. LOL. Good for Catorze for bugging the shite outta him!

      It was very funny to watch. And funnier still that CDF didn’t just ignore or move away, but grudgingly cuddled the little sod.

    My d.o.g. has only rolled in llama shit*. I feel somewhat honoured that she chose posh shit. (It looks like giant rabbit shit if you’re wondering.)

    Clearly you’ll need to get permission from Le Roi to use his images, intellectual property and such. He’ll need an entertainment lawyer and an agent. I advise not having an American production company shoot his biopic…they’ll get it wrong, and you won’t like how they portray you. Cat Daddy should do well however, after all the deal will go down during guy’s time.
    On second thought you may want to nip this in the bud. His ego is probably big enough as it is.

    Many cats behave shyly when unknown people enter their place.
    According to me, you don’t have to create a Dark Web version of Le Blog. So far, Louis has been the most outstanding cat I have heard about.

      I suppose his doings are already quite dark, aren’t they? And Cat Daddy does already say what he really thinks.

    Considering Catorze is a black cat, isn’t this already a dark blog? 🙂

      Well, if that doesn’t make it a Dark Blog, the things that he does certainly do!

    I just read (somewhere…) that many people who say they don’t like cats just have no experience with them. However, I have to believe the opposite is also true.

    My last comment (on a previous post) disappeared in the great ether of all things internet, but I’ll try again (although maybe the Dark Blog had already been secretly created and my comment went there automatically, unbeknownst to me)!

      Will we find out about Le Dark Blog through some other means? (And end up thinking, “Who is that awful cat?”?)
