What are your two favourite things to wear?
A thick jumper and a fluffy blanket. I’m not joking.
This is something of a middle-class problem, but the under-floor heating in our kitchen has broken and the place is freezing. Cat Daddy and I prepare meals at lightning speed and then race into the living room – which is deliciously toasty-warm – to eat them.
So, naturellement, Louis Catorze has decided that now is the time to barge into the living room whilst we’re defrosting our frozen extremities, leaving the door wide open and letting the heat escape. And he doesn’t just do this once or twice. Over the course of an evening he does this maybe ten times? Possibly more? Who knows? The thought of counting the incidents is the only thing more annoying the the incidents themselves.
Sometimes Catorze will even open the living room door to let himself out, CHANGE HIS MIND ABOUT GOING OUT, then come and sit back down with us, leaving the door open. So one of us – usually me – has to close it again. I have had to make sure one of Catorze’s stick toys is always at hand, so that I can lean over and use it to close the door without leaving the sofa. The little sod HAS to be doing this on purpose. Since cats know how to open doors, it can’t be THAT hard for them to close them afterwards?
Chris the heating engineer will be coming to fix things today. Will Catorze leave him alone and let him get on with it … or will it be another one of those times when his interference causes a two-hour job to last several days?
