Hallowe’en may be over, but Louis Catorze is still creeping the hell out of us.

When you’re a black cat, you are able to blend seamlessly into darkness. We know this; we have kicked Catorze about 9,742 times in the dark because we didn’t realise he was there. You would be forgiven, therefore, for thinking we might be unaffected by Catorze creepy-staring at us in the dark. After all, what we can’t see shouldn’t bother us, right?

Erm, not quite.

It’s quite strange that he chooses to do this when he’s less visible., although perhaps he doesn’t know that he’s less visible, since he has Creepy Kitty Night Vision? Anyway, he ought to be easy – or at least EASIER – to ignore in the dark, but this is the sight that blighted our television viewing the other night:

Dead, soulless eyes.

Catorze’s favourite lap (not mine) was free, his bowl was full, his water was topped up, he’d been out at The Front and we were already in his favourite room. We still don’t know what he wanted, and I can’t say we are looking forward to finding out.

    Do you prounounce his name “Lewis” or “Louie”?

      The second one! The beautician (whom he terrorised on her first visit here) pronounces is “Lewis” or sometimes even “Louise” and I’ve felt so bad about his behaviour that I haven’t bothered to correct her.

        Oh good! That’s how I’ve been pronouncing it.

    I know what Timon wants right now.
    He would like the rain stops. As we haven’t any cat flap, I’m asked to open the door every minute so as he can check it is still raining.
    Although he doesn’t creepy-star at us, I obey. Therefore, I also hope it stops raining cats and dogs soon.

    Okay, I’ll admit for one time that Louis looks very scary in that photograph. I would be afraid to go to bed…

      You SEE? He looks demonically possessed, doesn’t he?

    That is truly a creepy stare. You didn’t mention heat in your list. Was the room warm/cool enough for him? Was his igloo in the wrong place by a millimetre? Goodness me, Cat Mummy, you haven’t checked everything, have you?

    Les yeux sont la fenêtre de l’âme, or the absence of. That is quite the unnerving stare.

        Guess that depends on whether he likes what he sees. 🙂
