What’s something most people don’t know about you?
Sometimes bad things happen that are actually NOT my cat’s fault. Now, please hear me out.
We’ve always known, haven’t we, that, if you cry wolf too many times, nobody will believe you in the event of a real emergency?
There is a toothy black cat who has been causing havoc in the neighbourhood, and one of our local friends naturally asked if it were Louis Catorze. Despite the fact that the appearance and the annoyingness of the cat, and the part of the neighbourhood in question (the next street) all point to Catorze, it’s not him. But whether anyone believes me is another matter.
This is the Ring Doorbell screen shot that the victim neighbour posed on social media:
I can see that this isn’t Catorze. But the “All Black Cats Look The Same” brigade, of which Cat Daddy is a proud member, may take some convincing.
When I read further down in the post and found out the nature of the disturbance, it turned out that the offending Chat Noir had broken into a house through an open window and fathered kittens with the resident indoor – and obviously unneutered – cat. (And, despite the mamma being white and the papa being black, the kittens have turned out as follows: 1 x all-black, 1 x all-white, 1 x mostly-white with a couple of faint black splodges on the head, and 1 x, erm, GINGER.)
It’s not often that I say, “Merci à Dieu” in response to someone not being responsible enough to neuter their cats, but the very thin silver lining is that it cannot possibly be Catorze, whose money bags were emptied of all loose change years ago. Plus I don’t think girls are his thing, if you get what I mean.
Meanwhile, folks, neuter your cats. And close your windows to keep marauding Chats Noirs out. It’s not an either-or thing. (Well, in this case it was a neither-nor thing, but hopefully a few passive-aggressive, judgemental replies to the neighbour on social media will fix that.)
