Name your top three pet peeves.

Will seven peeves do? With this many cats all creating havoc, there’s no way I’d be able to narrow it down to just three.

Mercury Retrograde starts today. So, far from cats’ bull- and/or apeshittery calming down after last Friday’s full moon, it’s actually likely to get worse. 

This is what our feline contingent have been up to: 

Louis Catorze: early morning parkour around the bedroom then, when I switch on the light, emerging from a different part of the room, i.e. NOT FROM WHERE THE NOISE WAS. 

Catorze again: screaming absolute bloody murder whilst Cat Daddy was on the phone to the utility company trying to sort out some bills, forcing him to apologise to the call centre operative. 

Bastard cat.

Otis: please refer to the poltergeist/incubus behaviour displayed last week

Weird bastard cat.

Roux: an enabler and sympathiser of her brother’s poltergeist/incubus behaviour. 

Bastard cat.

Mothra: attacking my sister’s new dress whilst it was hanging up. 

Bastard cat.

Rodan: eating my sister’s fake lashes. No, not licking or nibbling them, but actually PUTTING THE ENTIRE THINGS IN HIS MOUTH AND SWALLOWING.

(They were left on a dresser at the time, by the way. He didn’t eat them off my sister’s face, although this is probably only because he didn’t think of it.) 

Bastard cats.

Boots, usurper stepbrother of Antoine, Catorze’s frère-from-another-mère: scrapping so violently with his Neighbourhood Nemesis that he burst an abscess and required expensive emergency vet treatment. And, yes, it was scrapping that caused the abscess in the first place.

Bastard cat.

Catorze’s cat-auntie Zelva is the only one of them who isn’t being a complete psychopath.

Good girl.

Mercury Retrograde goes on until 15th December … with another full moon at the end. What on earth will we do, other than stock up on vodka?

    An impressive array ! Aunty Zelva looks suspiciously calm. More troubling is Otis. It appears the poltergeists have dropped him from a great height. I hope everyone is all right.

      The cats are definitely all right. The humans, not so much.

    Maybe they’re trying to get it out of their systems before Santa Cat comes next month. 🙂

      Santa only comes to good cats, so we don’t have to worry about that.

    Thank you for making us aware of Mercury Retrograde and thank you for this great bunch of « bastard cats » . Fortunately for us, Timon hasn’t turned into a bastard cat yet.

      You must be one of the few who has a good cat!

    So far he hasn’t been a « bastard cat » but I bet he is likely to be on his way to change.

    I love the second photo. Never saw a cat lie like that before.

    Otis is genuflecting to the Ruler Of Cats, on behalf of his brethren. They will then await instruction, as Zelva appears to be doing.🙀

      Otis is being a shite. That’s what he’s doing.
