When Cat Daddy and I went to Scotland, we bought this piece of art:
It’s a kelpie, which is a mythical, water-dwelling ghost horse, rumoured to lure unwary people to a watery death. Not very pleasant, I know, but there are worse animals who do worse things to people. Don’t ask me how I know this.
The piece is made completely from upcycled materials; the frame is made of wood, and the kelpie and the sea foam are a thin sheet of metal shaded with coffee powder (yes, really). When we bought it, the kelpie’s head was flat and flush with the rest of the metal sheet but, in the few weeks that we’ve had it, the head has started to curve round.
Perhaps it’s coming alive and is creepily turning to face the light?
Or … not:
Louis Catorze’s behaviour has been appalling lately and is deteriorating by the day, so this is no surprise. And this was just one time, in front of us. I can’t imagine how many times he probably does this when we’re not around.
So that’s another entry for our list of Nice Things Ruined By Cats. How long will it be until the kelpie’s snout is completely snapped off? Will it even last through the the Spooky Season?
