So … cats and séances. You probably won’t like the idea of your sweet little kitty communing with evil spirits, but they’re all at it. It’s not just the black vampire cats, although blackness and vampirism do somewhat increase the chances of evil doings. (Don’t ask me how I know this.)

If cats are in a group, the pack mentality takes over and they all whip each other up into a spooky frenzy, as my friend Dawn’s cats did (below). Dobby, the large ginge, was clearly the one who hatched the plan, with Ollivander, the tabby with the white toes, happily following suit and Neville, the pinstripe tuxedo, being somewhat reticent yet not exactly going out of his way to avoid trouble, either. Sorry, Nev, but, unless you are actively anti-demon, you are still complicit.

Nothing to see here.

At the moment that this photo was taken, they had just been caught out and Dobby was gasping, “Oh shit, it’s Mum!” But it was too late for Dawn; as we can see, they had already succeeded in summoning the Antichrist, aka Jasper, the black kitten rising from their witch board. And, once the Antichrist has been summoned, it’s impossible to get rid of him. (Don’t ask me how I know this, either.)

If you only have one cat, regretfully you are still not in a spook-free zone; it seems it’s perfectly possible to form a coven of just one. I caught Catorze mid-ouija earlier this year, a couple of nights before a full moon. If he can do this in February at a time when he was supposed to be convalescing and taking it easy after his dental surgery, I dread to think what he does on long October nights when he’s at peak psycho.

Nothing to see here, either. Move along, s’il vous plaît.

As we count down towards the spookiest night of the year, you don’t want to mess with cats, whatever their colour. It’s like trying to take on the Mafia; life is easier if you just pretend you didn’t see anything.

Ollivander fun fact: he’s from Puerto Rico so his first language is Spanish. He is also fluent in ignoring English.
Neville fun fact: he was found as a stray when his now-mamma was searching for Ollivander, who’d gone missing. No doubt the little sods planned it.
Dobby fun fact: he is the meatiest and cuddliest of the bunch.
Jasper fun fact 1: he was being offered free of charge, at a market, just before Hallowe’en. Luckily his now-mamma took him and ensured that he would be safe.
Jasper fun fact 2 (yes, he gets two as he’s the Chat Noir): he has lots to say … whether or not you want to hear it.
The boys are still dabbling in the occult and, as you can see, they are summoning larger demons these days.

    I have five cats and three of them are black. Occasionally I walk up the stairs and several of them scatter. I know they are having a meeting and plotting. They’re either going to overthrow me or the d.o.g. I hope they hurry up. I could do with the rest.

      Oh, that’s very suspicious if they scatter when they see you coming!

    Amazing and wonderful guest kitties. Are they friends of Louis?

    The fact that Ollivander went missing until Neville could be found and adopted is The Cat Distribution System in action.

      They’re not flesh and blood friends, although Jasper and Catorze communicate telepathically. By the way, I didn’t know there was an official system!

    Those cats are cute. Our cats seem to be plotting something whenever the all get together.

    Do you know this gang we are introduced to in real life?
    Our cat’s best friend, Pieter aka Rourou, has moved since the first of Spetember and I miss him.
    I guess it’s the same for our cat, but when I ask him about it, I get no understandable answer.

    OOOOOOMG, Jasper is the cutest thing in the universe, I want him!!!!!!! (I don’t know about the UK, but here, people can be very cruel to black cats, especially during the Halloween period, so I’m really glad someone kind adopted Jasper.)

      I think people here are a bit better, although it’s not something I try to find out about. We were very lucky with Luther, our previous Chat Noir, because he would run from hordes of sugared-up kids. Catorze, of course, runs towards trouble.
