La lecture nourrit l’âme

What books do you want to read?

I want Louis Catorze to finish reading this one. He’s only read half of it so far.

    Well done.
    Amy Hwang seems to know Louis. He is accustomed to annoying you whereas he looks very cute for us who don’t have to live with him.

      He is a liar and a con artist so don’t believe the impression he gives.

    My cats all got great marks in this study! Sasha especially loves a good 5 a.m. face tapping to get the peep out of bed!

        Of course the face. What other place would be as annoying. Just gentle taps that get more urgent when I don’t respond.

      wait until the acc-claw treatments start. Xenia would insert one claw into the nostril and apply traction. You got up instantly.

              Remember she looked up to the Gray Menace as an example – would Catorze like a copy of Clancy’s bio -“O-Negative blood for breakfast; my life in the fast lane”?

    I think Rosie is reading the same book, or Louis has sent her some “educational waves over the ocean” with bad ideas, because she has started staring at me like Louis, like she’s wondering “am I going to let you sleep or jump all over you all night tonight? Or maybe kill you?” It’s a bit funny and scary at the same time!

    His glass is half full. That is better than half empty. If he should again read half more, that would be progress. That is how he will get the job done.

    Louis Catorze is easily distracted, he may have ADD. It is likely he may never finish. Wiggle some yarn, or flash a shadow, and the book is forgotten. Or, he might scratch and claw it, that temptation is strong. You might have to read it to him, as he warmly cuddles on your lap. I would try that, if you are insistent on him finishing.

        Then I am mistaken. I spoke as if Louis Catorze was my cat ‘NoWay’. For she is the only cat I know well. I believe the term is projection. But, NoWay is not LC, and that was presumptive of me to assume otherwise.

    She was named after Mother’s exclamation when Sister brought her home. It fits her well, I think. There should be a term for when a name fits the character. Something like ‘Onomatopoeia’ but for behavior rather than sound. Perhaps Louis will coin that term.
