Our under-floor heating has malfunctioned again, right in the middle of our cold snap. This meant another visit from Chris the heating engineer, which was good news for Louis Catorze as he loves men. Family members, friends, delivery drivers, tradesmen, random passers-by, trick-or-treating youths … Catorze will happily accept cuddles from any or all of the above.

Aww, how cute and uncreepy.

When Chris arrived, Catorze was outside on Rodent Duty. However, when he realised that there was a new man in his Château, he raced in, screaming.

Catorze: “Mwah! Mwah! Mwahhhhh!”

Me: “Oh. Erm, sorry about our cat. He loves it when visitors come, especially men.”

Chris: “Really? It’s usually the opposite with cats. They run away from me.”

Catorze: “‘MWAHHHHH!”

Chris then took an infra-red gadget from his bag – the same kind of gadget that they use on ghost-hunting programmes to detect temperature changes – and paced around the kitchen with it facing down towards the floor. He then said, “Look at the cat!” and pointed it at Catorze, who was sitting and creepy-staring at him.

I swear to Goddess: Catorze’s body on the screen was deep teal blue, as stone-cold as the floor around him, with heat radiating just from his red eyes.

Me: “Why isn’t he hot all over? Why is the heat just in that one place?”

Chris: “Strange. It’s just his eyes, isn’t it?”

Me: “…”

Him: “…”

Catorze: “Mwah!”

Chris left quite quickly after that.

I wish I’d taken a photo of what the gadget was showing us. That said, you have all known for years that Sa Maj is not of this world, non?

Wow, BingBot, it’s as if you were actually there!

    Hmm. Maybe you’ve discovered the cause of your heating problem.

      But … if he’s leaching it all up, what’s he doing with it? He’s clearly not storing it in his body.

            Just take a deep breath and think logically, if he didn’t love and care for you both he would have finished you off years ago! Be sensible and make sure you lavish every last penny you have on him and make sure he knows there will be more to come soon and then he will allow you to live happily ever after… Won’t he?? 🫨🤗🤔🥴

    So did Chris fix the floors? They are very important to Catorze’s comfort given that his body temperature is only “normal” in his demonic eyes. (I put the word normal in quotation marks for obvious reasons.)

      He identified the cause of the problem and he said he needed to order the necessary part. I don’t know if Cat Daddy has heard from him, though. (He doesn’t have my number.)

    Odd story, indeed. Perhaps, the insulating properties of Louis’s fur are exceptionally good.

              In fact, I felt relieved only because Louis Catorze’s mother wasn’t the designer of this awful creature. Actually, I agree with both of you. If it is really what Louis looks like in some other realm, I’m not relieved at all.

    When entities borrow the energy to manifest, there is usually a sharp drop in temperature in the surroundings…so maybe something you cannot see is drawing heat energy from Louis. Not that that is reassuring.
