An aborted attempt at seizing my lamb and olive stew.

Saint Jésus, Marie et Joseph, et le petit âne: Louis Catorze just went for a piece of smoked Comté on our cheese board, RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. Furthermore I’m ashamed to admit that this happened right in front of Cat Daddy and me, and we were too slow to stop it.

No, we weren’t drunk. Well, ok, Cat Daddy was a bit, but I had no excuse. We were so deeply engrossed in the television that it took us a good ten seconds to notice that we were under attack. Ten seconds may not sound like long, but it was plenty of time for Catorze to lick the slab of cheese all over.

Cat Daddy: “Louis! Oh my God, what a ****!”

He grabbed Catorze, plucked him off the cheese board with one hand like one of those fairground claw machines, then took a knife and cut away what he believed to be the cat-spitty area of cheese.

I told him there was no way on earth of knowing which bits were cat-spitty and which weren’t, so we might as well throw the whole lot away. Cat Daddy then tossed the cut-away piece of cheese to Catorze, who, having established that he had ruined it for us, decided that his work was done and that he no longer wanted it.

What is happening? What evil force is making my once-unmotivated-by-food cat suddenly turn into such a scavenging shite?

Here he is, feigning innocence and pretending to be a nice cat who doesn’t steal food. We all know the truth.

Liar.

    Right now we are worried about our old blind boy who has been off his food this week – just hoping to see him eat a couple of bites. It is an exercise in frustration when you want your kitties to either eat or diet or eat what is good for them.

        we have a vet appointment Mon pm. He has not eaten (that I’ve seen) but finally did drink water. He has had iffy bloodwork for sometime, though nothing specific enough to treat. And he is at least 12 and probably a bit older.

    Maybe you could have washed the spitty parts? Or doused the entire piece in an antiseptic. 🙂

      Or nuke it from space? The best solution, à mon avis.

    When getting old, some human beings turn grumpy. Your dear Louis chose to become a thief. Living with a pilfering cat sounds nicer than sharing a house with a crotchety one, doesn’t it?

      I suppose so, but I think I deeply undervalued the ability to eat a meal in peace!

    Of course, you know, there might be two sides to it. I wish I could see Louis point of view on this matter…

          Putting the helmet on just to make comments doesn’t work. Their insidious rays are working ALL THE TIME. You pretty much need to glue it on.

    Perhaps he has a cat friend who told him that it was a great way to annoy his humans. He obviously tasted it and decided he didn’t like it. 🙂

    Oh my! I thought that he looked so sweet in the final image at first, but then I looked a bit longer into his eyes.

    somehow I missed this. Thing is that Merlot usually has to be hand fed his normal food and doesn’t beg or have any intention of taking food except for fox or cat poo (sorry to offend but you’re not the one living with this machine of disgusting Ness nor are you left retching and shouting your head off in the very latr/early hours of the morning with all your villager neighbours recognising your voice or the name Merlot) but for the past week or so he’s begged carers for treats in their office, gone in there to check the floor put and stood back from the desk just far enough so the carer can see his pleading eyes switching from their face to the dog treats and back again and them going to jump up to give him a treat and me shouting ‘no he’s not getting what he’s asking for’!. I can’t cope with this new Merlot at 12 years and 8 months old, he’ll gladly lick what I’m eating given half the chance and has regained some quick movements for self enablement! So what is this thing? Is his new flea and worming treatment not working??

      He has to be hand-fed? He won’t eat from a bowl?
