Une mauvaise photo qui rappelle vos traits 

Despite looking forward to this day all year, I’m not really ready for it this time around and I’ve done the square root of nothing in terms of planning. Regretfully, this includes Louis Catorze’s Official Hallowe’en Portrait. 

As you know, Catorze will never be that supermodel Chat Noir who looks amazing in Hallowe’en-themed photoshoots. He won’t pose properly, and I’m pretty sure he does it on purpose. So, in the limited time that I had (which, I appreciate, is my own fault) and with the uncooperative subject matter that I had (which isn’t), this is the best that I could do: 

Catorze is the one in the background.

There was also this, but I couldn’t get the fangs to pop. Which is a shame, as Catorze’s fangs are his trademark:

Mid-scream, of course. What else?

Luckily Catorze’s comrade, Jasper, and Jasper’s brothers Neville, Ollivander and Dobby, were happy to let me share these photos of their perfect Hallowe’en show: 

“Now repeat after me: “THE POWER OF LE CHAT NOIR COMPELS YOU!””
“Don’t look now but we’ve just been busted!”
“Dudes, I said DON’T LOOK!”

Happy Hallowe’en to you all, and may your furry overlords behave themselves tonight.

      Thanks! I didn’t take the ones of Jasper and his brothers, obviously, but aren’t they hilarious? Happy Hallowe’en to you all.

        Timon ignores anything concerning Halloween, but thank you for asking 😺

    Jasper & his posse are always willing to wrangle the crown from Catorze to pose for pics whenever he has more important things to do. 😜. Happy Hallowe’en!

            When I had Jake, my black cat, he would always try to get out on Halloween. I wouldn’t allow him out because…people…stupid. One year he got out and watched the costumed kids come to the door from under a bush. I’m pretty sure he was laughing his arse off. Gotta love them. Now we don’t get Halloweeners and my current cats don’t know about it.

              Oh God, Catorze has escaped on Hallowe’en before and we are very lucky that people in our area are all right. I’d still rather have him in than out, though.

    Lovely photos of all, including his majesty! Darth Vader is telling me that I must procure a similar black cat plushie for possible inclusion in his 2025 Official Halloween Portrait.

      Happy Hallowe’en! Would Darth want to share the limelight with anyone, even a toy?

    You’re right , the guest cat pictures are quite perfect – especially the seance and the standing one. On the other hand, Catorze ignoring his doppelganger is kind of cute.

    Oh so funny and adorable!! Now I’m totally creepy costume, pumpkin ghouls etc etc phobic in fact I’m s**t scared of it all. I shut myself indoors as soon as I heard the neighbouring estate all out for their outside partying. Merlot doesn’t bat an eye at anything while indoors, yet here I am stuck being a tad unwell in the bathroom (nothing too much information like you might imagine, but pretty awful for me nonetheless) and Merlot has been sat by my side for over an hour and has even troubled his little self to have a bark looking along the hallway! Merlot doesn’t even bark if the front door is knocked or the doorbell dingdonged so I’m a little bit concerned about what he’s come to warn me about!!! Help!!

    My two gave Hallowe’en a great deal of attention. They spent the entire evening asleep. There were no fireworks, not even a single *bang* either.
