I have decided to name the cacophonous composition below, “Hake in the Air Fryer”.

However, having named it, I can’t decide whether its ought to be a classical piece or a rock anthem. 

If you watch the video, you will see that its different movements are very distinct, like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (except that Louis Catorze went piano first and allegro/forte afterwards, whereas Mozart did it the other way around). The fact that it goes on for so long also seems to make it more classical symphony than rock material.

That said, the highly illegal jump onto the worktop* is just like a rock and roll frontman leaping into the crowd. Plus I can’t stop singing, “Haaaaake in the aaaaaair fryer” to the tune of Smoke on the Water. And, now, neither will you. You’re welcome. 

*Catorze used to avoid the worktop like a vampire avoids the sun, because I would put him there to give him his meds. Now that he’s lost his fear of it, nothing is safe anymore.

“Hush, hush, thought I heard him screaming for hake now.“

This cat has gone absolutely stark raving bonkers at the smell of the hake. And, now that Cat Daddy has given Catorze Michelin-starred hot-smoked salmon himself, he can no longer blame me for igniting this fish-fuelled feline frenzy. He is just as responsible – in fact, he’s MORE at fault because he actually did it on purpose.

And, now, this is where we are. Please help us.

      But then we’ll be hammering the nails into our own coffins! (Probably a physical impossibility but still.)

    Marcus watched the clip with great interest, but refused to interpret it. He then demanded food.

        It was interesting. He got progressively more interested in the clip. and when Louis was chased from the counter I think he recognized something that happened to him often.

              Too late. Marcus is probably starting the first chapter of the Catorse Fan Club.

    It’s a prog rock concept album. Think Todd Rundgren, or ELP for example.

    Of course, you are now tasked with finding something eat that Louis XIV won’t demand and eating only that for the rest of his long comfortable life. That thing may be dry Shredded Wheat.

    Thanks to our grandchildren who like it, Timon has recently discovered how delectable roasted chicken could be. Fortunately, his way of begging for it doesn’t sound like Louis’s way. His « sentences » are much shorter than Louis’s.
