Yesterday we finally met Louis Catorze’s cat-cousins, Rodan and Mothra. And it turns out that one of them is a lot more troublesome than the other.
Do you think it’s the tabby, or the Chat Noir? Now, take your time to think about this.
Rodan is a complete scoundrel. Here are just a few of his misadventures so far:
⁃ Sticking his face in the litter tray
⁃ Attacking his Cat Daddy immediately afterwards, trying to shove his litter-dirty face into his papa’s face
⁃ Trying to climb into the bathtub
⁃ Trying to climb into the fridge (and, on a later occasion, actually succeeding in being shut in; luckily his mamma rescued him from the veg drawer straight away)
⁃ Trying to climb into the dishwasher
⁃ Vandalising his mamma’s Lego (by knocking over)
– Vandalising his mamma’s Lego again (by chewing)
⁃ Escaping out at The Front (and his Front is far more hazardous than ours)
⁃ Stealing sanitary ware, and running off with it
Three of the above were ON THE SAME MORNING. No doubt, by the time this post goes live, there will be more to add to the list.
The kittens have also figured out that, if they split up after being caught causing trouble, the pursuing human can’t chase both of them at once.
Rodan is only a few months old, so the humans have a good few years of carnage to endure. And although, as the Chat Noir, he will be the originator of all the trouble, I wouldn’t rule out his sister, Mothra, as a co-conspirator. Last week she jumped onto her human brother’s dinner tray, grabbed a piece of bacon and ran off with it.
Kittens are cute, but I think I’m too old and too tired for this kind of caper. I’ll stick to senior cats … yes, even if they’re Louis Catorze.
