After The Curious Incident with Chris the Heating Engineer on the Infra-Red Camera, but before my post about it went live, I told Cat Daddy what had happened. The first thing he did was fall about laughing. The second thing he did was tell me that he didnβt believe me.
Him: βSo did Chris see it, too, then?β
Me: βYes. Ask him if you donβt believe me.β
Him: βDid you get a photo of it?β
Me: βNo.β
Him: βThatβs a shame. It wouldβve made a good blog post if youβd had the photo to back it up.β
Me: βPeople will believe me, with or without the photo. They know that itβs too ridiculous to be made up.β
Him: βI suppose we could ask Chris to put the infra-red on again when he comes back?β
How bold of him to assume that Chris will come back. And, in the unlikely event that he does, and Catorze allows himself to be infra-redded again, what do you suppose will happen?
1. The little sod will appear exactly as I described, with an ice-cold body and eyes of fire? (Nope.)
2. The little sod will be utterly invisible, like a vampire in front of a mirror? (Possible.)
3. The little sod will light himself up like the Eiffel Tower on Saint-Sylvestre, looking, for all the world, like a normal cat, just to spite me? (BINGO.)
