Since Cat-Disliking Friend is a science teacher, whenever I have a science question that I can’t be bothered to Google, I ask him. And, when I say, “May I ask you a science question?” his usual response is to roll his eyes and say, “It’s not about your cat again, is it?”
Just before the end of term, I told him that Louis Catorze is glued to my side when I have Covid, yet couldn’t give a shite when it’s just a normal cold. And I asked whether it could be possible for cats to sniff out Covid.
Naturellement, initially he fell about laughing. But, when I pointed out that dogs can sniff out cancer, fire accelerant and dead bodies, he realised that I may actually have a point. He asked me about Catorze’s reaction to other viral infections, such as flu, but neither Cat Daddy nor I have had the flu in the time that we have had Catorze. Yet it seems that that might be the only way of proving my theory.
CDF: “There is, of course, the possibility that he’s showing genuine compassion.”
Oh, come on. He, of all people, should know better than this.
So, unless I succumb to some other viral infection, I don’t suppose we will ever know the truth. Meanwhile, I kick myself for all the money I could have made from the little sod during the pandemic; who needs a world-beating lateral flow test when they could have a Catorzian cuddle instead?
