Sa Majesté Louis Catorze, Le Roi Soleil, supreme ruler of Le Château, sworn enemy of canine foe and scourge of Ocado delivery drivers.

Dans les hautes herbes  

The night after his full moon shenanigans, Louis Catorze was a transformed cat: calm, relaxed and, dare I say it, quiet.

Cat Daddy: “Were you just showing off last night, Louis? Just because we had a friend round?”

Catorze: “Mwah!”

Just as a tree falling in a forest makes no sound if people aren’t around to witness it, Catorze, apparently, is, erm, 0.01% less embarrassing when it’s just us.

Whilst others are filming yet another glamorous video in the life of their Insta-perfect cat, I am sitting here trying to figure out the answers to the following questions: 

  • What is stuck to Catorze’s fur?
  • How did it get there? 
  • How am I going to remove it?
  • Why on earth do I allow this beast to sleep in the same bed with me? 

Any suggestions will be received with more gratitude than you can ever imagine. 

Lovely.
EDIT: It came out eventually, although I had to be quite brutal. And now Catorze’s grey under-fur is sticking out from the excision site.

    You ask how you “allowed” this to happen like you have some sort of control over le roi.

      This is true! I have no say in any of this. It’s all about him.

    M –

    We call Ramses “bird-seed-butt” – for reasons you can only imagine. I, like Louis, am a debris-magnet which was quite apparent when I worked at the nursery. There was always something stuck in my mane.

      Do you mean grass seed? Le Roi is always covered in that, too. I imagine the parakeets shouting abuse at him from above and pelting him with seeds.

    He must be related to the Grey Menace. Reading his exploits sound so familiar,

      Oh dear! The one difference is their response to human aggressors. Clancy would beat the shit out of them, whereas Sa Maj would probably try to cuddle them.

    It is impressive indeed. And after achieving to get that stuff out, did you manage to identify it? And were you able to understand how it was stuck so solidly?

      It was a piece of dried grass, but I still don’t know how it stuck so solidly. Another Roi Mystery to add to the list.

    A new form of decoration? It didn’t seem to bother him.

      It didn’t! And that, in itself, is bothersome to me!

        He thought it was in style. Like a tattoo.

          He wouldn’t know style if it kicked him up the arse!

    Goodness, that looked like a harmless small twig. The second picture looks like a wire with the inner strands coming out. Is that some of his fur – or was he attached to a portal to the Mothership ?

      It was his fur! He’s not physically attached to The Mothership. They communicate telepathically. 🛸

    Louis-Catorze seemed so quiet while you pull at it. What a strange twig that attached itself to his fur !
