La cloche du dîner

What are your future travel plans?

Cat Daddy says, “Anywhere. Quick.”

Remember Louis Catorze’s less-than-enthusiastic welcome home? Well, all that changed when I made crab pasta. As soon as he smelled it, THEN he wanted to be my friend and had plenty to say about it. 

Here is a tiny snippet of what we were forced to endure: 

Please, make it stop.

If you listen carefully, you can hear Cat Daddy saying, “It has a sauna as well”. Yes, he’s just out of camera shot, researching holiday lets for next summer. YES, ALREADY. Such is his haste to guarantee us at least a couple of peaceful weeks in 2025. 

And here is Catorze, having filled his boots when I took my eye off my bowl for 0.27 seconds: 

Luckily it was empty, but he’s still a bastard cat. And his gross licking meant I couldn’t have seconds in the same bowl.

Normality has well and truly resumed. Although what’s normal about any of this will forever remain one of life’s great mysteries.

    Can’t wait to get away and can’t wait to get home. The life of a pet owner.

      The screaming is just beyond belief. It’s as if he had no love during our absence (all lies as the chat-sitteur took great care of him).

        I had a black cat (no surprise) that would sit with her back to me when I got back from a trip. She’d do that for 24 hours. Her way of saying “I’m not talking to you but don’t forget to feed me!”

          Oh my goodness! That’s some serious passive-aggressive game-playing!

            Definite mean girl. I always said if she were a person, we wouldn’t like her. She was gorgeous though.

              I don’t think we’d like most of our cats in human form. Catorze would be a total arsehole to be around, ignoring me for ages and then pretending to be my friend when I made crab pasta.

              I’d be your best friend if you made crab pasta!

              But would you scream and scream until I served you some? (Then steal it off my plate and run off?)

        Maryland, which is known for its crabs. Sadly, the Humans have an unfortunate habit of smothering them in Old Bay seasoning, which ruins the flavor for us Cats. Purrs, DV

    Obviously, Louis would like to tell you something, but Mother Nature didn’t give him the chance to speak any human language 😺

      In this case, the easiest way to silence him is to share it with him, what the second picture confirms 🙂

      It’s not very sweet when you hear it again. And again. AND AGAIN.

    I have had cats who were loud, but none who could sustain a note as Catorze can. Bravo !
