What brings you peace?
Peace? In this house? You must be joking.
A few days ago, a video popped up on my social media feed entitled, “How to tell if your cat is spoilt”. Obviously I need to contact Meta and ask them to check their algorithms, because that couldn’t have been intended for me.
Because I read it in a hurry, I didn’t make a note of all the points mentioned. But these are the ones that I recall:
1. They meow a lot.
Oh dear. That DOES sound rather like a certain cat I know. According to the maker of the video, excessive meowing means the cat is used to getting his own way and knows all the buttons to press. However, what about the cat who just wanders from room to room, screaming, just for fun?
2. They are lazy.
Now, “lazy”, to me, either means lying around like a hairball doing nothing, or not doing your designated job to the best of your ability. Louis Catorze certainly sleeps a lot, but it seems to be with the purpose of powering up for mischief. Screaming, 3am parkour, bullying us and annoying the local wildlife are certainly not “doing nothing”; this is serious action, even if it’s not the kind of action we want.
As for not doing his job properly … what even is it that Catorze is supposed to do? Can he be accused of not doing his job properly, if he doesn’t actually have one (and never did)?
Here he is, not wanting anything, just liking the sound of his own voice. YOU try for peace, when you’re living with this:
