I have just had to eat my dinner* with my plate balanced on my left knee, and with my right leg repeatedly kicking away a screaming cat. 

*It was chicken fajitas topped with sour cream and cheese, merci for asking.

Every time I kicked, he came back for more. Despite only being the size of Chucky, Louis Catorze had the resilience of Michael Myers, the guile of Hannibal Lecter and the volume of, erm, Leatherface’s chainsaw. 

Naturellement, because I wanted the torment to be over, I bolted down my dinner as quickly as possible, and was finished long before Cat Daddy. Catorze then settled on my lap and left his papa to finish his meal in peace. The little sod didn’t utter so much as a squeak. 

Me: “Why isn’t he screaming at you?”

Cat Daddy: “Because this is MY dinner. He only wants YOUR food, because you’re the one who gave him salmon off YOUR plate.”

I see. 

This is never going to end, is it? 

Bastard cat.

      Just because of that one incident (which was an accident)?

        He doesn’t believe in accidents. It was divine intervention.

          What’s the opposite of divine? Infernal?

            With Louis, it’s hard to say.

    No, it is never going to end. The only way to get a bit of reprieve is to select meals in which your furry overlord has zero interest, think all vegetables with no protein or cheese. Even this, though, doesn’t make you immune to pestering because your furry overlord will make you feel tremendously guilty for eating when he is not and will disrupt your sad little meal as much as possible to remind you of your guilt. Ask me how I know this.

      I don’t even think a vegan meal would help. He bullies me even when I’m cutting up onions.

    You are probably right, it isn’t about to end. During this episode, Cat Daddy and Louis sound accomplice. Rather than finish, it is likely to get worse.

    No… it will never end. He’s your loving and faithful cat; in plenty and in want; in joy and in sorrow; in sickness and in health; as long as you both shall live.

      I won’t live long at this rate. I’ll end up starving to death!

    You are buggered. At least he’s not hissing as he (tries to) steal your food.

    I must report that Rosie was like that when she first arrived here, but I managed to teach her to wait, and so far she’s really good at waiting (when I prepare food for her or when I put treats in her toys). Sorry but you’ve raised your kid… errr… your cat I mean, wrong 😉

    No. This is the feline equivalent of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.

    It occurred to me that that image may not be as universal as I thought it was. This article explains Lucy & CB and also has a few lines that tie in with you and Louis as well.

    Apparently, Louis has decided that Cat Daddy is hopeless, but you might be trainable.

    With Clément, it was the opposite. He would try more with my partner than with me, cause my partner would sometimes consciously let him get away with it, while I only did it by accident. 😆 But yes, they do adapt their behaviour according to each of their humans’ traits…

      This is kind of a compliment towards you because he saw you as the smart one! Catorze clearly doesn’t think the same of me!
