I’m in hospital at the moment, having just had intense but standard (and planned) surgery. However, because they had to switch last-minute from The Simple Version to The Complicated Version of this particular procedure, I’m here for an extra night. 

Cat Daddy has been in to visit me. However, Louis Catorze hasn’t even noticed that I’m gone. Last night he launched a full-on screaming assault on Cat Daddy, even attacking whilst he was eating and trying to grab his pizza, but then this is the kind of thing he does every day anyway. 

And, even with phones ringing, machines bleeping and other patients shouting all through the night, it’s probably still quieter for me here than at home. 

Here are the three stages of [whatever it was that happened last night – we still can’t think of a word for it]:

Bullying.
Sulking (after he was told off for the pizza incident).
Winning.

      Thank you! I’m glad at least a couple of Chats Noirs send love and support. Louis doesn’t. 🙄

    Hope you are better by now. Louis was trying to distract Cat Daddy so he wouldn’t worry. Then there was the pizza….

    Speedy recovery! My cats Freddie and Tish send Louis their sincerest meows. Neither of them screams but Tish gets talkative and will look me right in the face and keep meowing until I inform her I do not speak cat.

        Her eyes get really big and the look on her face says, Well, how rude that I should not understand her!” Then all is quiet again until the need to chat comes up again, This morning Freddie decided to try himself and suddenly as I looked at him he was meowing loudly. SIGH He has never done this before but sees his sister trying to communicate with me, What Freddie does is when he feels like it at about 3 AM of any morning he sits on top of the couch and as far as I can tell sings hitting all the right high notes, When whatever song it is is done he is quiet again, Since his namesake is Freddie of the British band Queen because my Freddie can sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody then I figure I just have to put up with him when he wants to sing.

      Nah, they’ll be fine without me. They’d probably be happy if it were just the two of them forever!

    I hope you are well soon. It reminds me of my wife’s surgery in 2007, I think. She had her gall bladder taken out. It was supposed to be a simple laparoscopic surgery but her gall bladder was much worse than expected so they had to cut her open.

      Ugh, that sounds grim! Yes, similar sort of thing here, had hoped for keyhole but wasn’t to be. Thank you for your good wishes!
