Louis Catorze has been all over me lately, even, on a couple of occasions, choosing my lap over Cat Daddy’s. For a while I thought he was actually starting to like me, but then I realised that I am just the safe refuge from the dreaded guitar.
Yes, Cat Daddy is still at it with the Discordant Instrument of Doom. And, yes, Catorze still hates it. (Cat Daddy shouldn’t take this too personally, though; I was on my phone whilst Catorze was on my lap, and I accidentally clicked on a link whose twanging guitar soundtrack sent the poor little sod running for his life.)
However, just to confuse us, he is quite happy to sit for hours and listen to the likes of Jimmy Page blasting HIS guitar through the speakers. And he (Catorze, I mean, not Jimmy Page) has just climbed into Cat Daddy’s guitar case, thrashed around for a few minutes and then settled down for a nap.

My initial thought was that perhaps Catorze didn’t know that this was a guitar case, but he’s seen it plenty of times and has run away when Cat Daddy has reached for it to take out the guitar. Or perhaps he knew perfectly well what it was and was trying to assert himself over the Discordant Instrument of Doom and publicly declare that it wasn’t the boss of him (even though his reaction to its sound suggests otherwise)?
Is it too much to hope that, one day, instead of running, Catorze might do this?
And, whilst we’re all trying to figure that out, here is our guitar teacher’s cat, Steve, relaxing to his papa’s sounds:
