L’armée des ténèbres

~ iamthesunking

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.

Mothra loves her Cat Uncle.
Rodan isn’t sure (but changed his mind later).

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.

Bastard kittens.

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.

TU2C? TUC²? 2(TUC)?

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.

“Yup, that definitely looks like a litter tray to me. Let’s do it.”

      1. No Cat Daddy wouldn’t. The novelty would wear off (and they’d have him trained to do their bidding!). Gus was the last cat I adopted and he was 3. I didn’t think I could handle a young cat climbing furniture and generally getting into mischief.

      1. One was seen by a neighbour swinging on a hanging plant in a window while we were out. And they checked out food items like dry oatmeal and coffee. Punctured bags of both found on floor.
        Little imps!

  4. Great post and cute pictures once again. Don’t worry, as most of the cats, Rodan and Mothra are likely to calm down when growing up.

    1. And wondering where they were and what they were doing at all times! Shut in a fridge? Swimming in the toilet? Snacking on weed killer?

  8. 😂😂😂 Oh so predictable eh? I have to say that Mothra’s eyes are so so sweet that she would scare me, the sort of sweet that means she knows and can use it to her advantage!!
