It’s autumn! I look forward to this every year. 

My romantic vision was to see in the first day of my favourite season with a matcha latte outside, and with Louis Catorze happily pitter-pattering around me doing autumn cat things. Sadly it was raining heavily, so I sat indoors instead and waited for Catorze to join me. 

He did … utterly drenched from gadding about outside.

Then, when I gave my latte a stir, the sound startled Catorze so greatly that he scarpered, stepping into my mug as he went. Yes, his actual foot went into my drink. Ugh. 

I have learned that many of you wouldn’t care about this, but it’s a firm NOPE from me. Yes, I did Google the ingredients of my drink and whether or not they were toxic to cats, just in case he decided to lick it off. He will be fine.

Cat Daddy: “Maybe he is blind after all. Surely a cat with normal eyesight would’ve seen your mug and avoided it?”

Not if they were thick as well.

A season which begins with a cat stepping in your drink just has to get better, non?

The new season calls for a visit to the outdoor bar … and this time he’s stepping in his own drink.

      He didn’t say oops. He didn’t care. 🙄

      Merci! I don’t want our mutual friend to be TOO adventurous, though!

    But he is. For instance, the contents of your cup could have been very hot, couldn’t they?

      No, they weren’t. But who wants to drink a cat-footy drink?

    “It’s autumn! I look forward to this every year.” I don’t share your point of view, sorry. There’s only one good season and that’s spring (and summer). My SAD (seasonal affective disorder) is already waiting just around the corner… 😦

      Aww, I’m so sorry. Do you have one of those lights that you can use? And at least Jimi will be extra cuddly (only using you for your body heat).

        No, maybe I should buy one. But I have a lot of large windows in my house and getting much natural daylight inside.

    Trying to picture where your mug was in relation to where his foot was….sounds like he may have been aiming for it.

      It was on the sofa, beside me. Probably not the best place for it!

    Hope he didn’t like it off and like it. It would be one more thing for him to be wanting. 🙂
