Saint Jésus et tous ses anges: Louis Catorze is eating normally. Nobody understands why he’s conceded, but he has, and we will happily take it.

I am so glad I didn’t follow the stupid advice of my friends – YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE – who told me to just give him the Michelin-starred hot-smoked salmon. I have been determined to stay strong throughout this whole escapade, hearing Charles de Gaulle’s voice in my ear telling me not surrender under any circumstances. I wouldn’t object to giving him (Catorze, I mean, not Charles de Gaulle) the salmon if he were on his deathbed, but certainly not whilst he’s perfectly healthy and just taking the piss.

And now my efforts have paid off, because I just put his Orijen in his bowl and he eats it. I don’t even need to bother with the hot water anymore.

The question is: how long will this last? And will there be some new, unanticipated twist to this whole saga sometime later? Lobster bisque drizzled atop the Orijen, perhaps? Or hot scallop consommé misted over the Orijen from a diamond-encrusted atomiser?

He’s still a bastard cat.

    The kittens have decided to eat the dog’s biscuits. I don’t think it’s going to end well. Popsie has some of those eye wateringly expensive Orijen biscuits too, but she mostly gets Amazon’s finest. Orijen is a *treat*.

      I don’t think Le Roi regards it as a treat anymore. It’s just his normal food and no more than what he deserves. 😳

    I’m happy to hear he’s eating his food again. I guess his appetite was just spoiled by luxurious salmon…

      And now we can never have it again, in case it triggers his memory …

        Yes or wait for him to be out of the house to have… and run the risk of him coming back in while you are savouring it !
