I recently bought myself a lamp with a zillion different colour settings. However, I always have it on red, because red is said to counteract the negative effects of blue light from our phones, and to promote healing and relaxation. Yes, I know: since I live with Louis Catorze, I probably should have got a lamp for each room, and strapped an extra one to his head for good measure.
Cat Daddy always tells me that a red light makes Le Château look “like a brothel”. I just ignore this, although I am curious to about how he knows what a brothel looks like.
Anyway, it turns out that Catorze likes red light almost as much as I do. After a long period of not sleeping in my bed with me and choosing, instead, to go gadding about outside all night, since I introduced wind-down period of red light before going to sleep, he’s been a constant companion. I can’t help but hope that it will have a calming effect on him, too; his screaming and galloping around have been absolutely awful recently.
Naturellement I couldn’t resist a photo session in the red light, to add to the 12,967 photos that I already have of Catorze. I think a ruby backdrop rather suits him, non?
