I would ordinarily be back at school today, but I’ve had a setback which required more surgery to fix it. This second round of recovery has been much harder than the original one, but I’ve been trying to take it easy and not do too much. 

Usually Louis Catorze has very little tolerance for sick people. However, this time around he has only been about 65% coolly indifferent, morphing into a sweet and loving kitty for the remaining 35% of the time. On one occasion, when he saw how upset I was, he ran towards me and almost knocked himself out with my phone in his haste to cuddle me. 

(Yes, it was definitely him. No other fanged black cat had broken into our house at the time.)

However, before you conclude that Catorze has changed his ways and developed a sense of empathy, don’t be too quick to trust the little sod. This lucky photo, which only happens once in an eternity, when the stars are aligned in a very particular way, gives us a glimpse into his soulless self. You can even see the gap where his heart ought to be:

Come on. It’s hardly a massive shock.

His nurturing ways are all lies. I fear that he’s up to something.

    Oh my! I hope you’ll be on the mend soon. Louis is convinced you are doing this to spend more time with him.

      Thank you! I’m sure he does assume that everything everyone does is about him!

    Undergoing two surgeries in such a short period of time is exhausting. I wish you to recover as soon as possible. Bon courage.

        Good point. I was thinking a little bedtime reading to him, but then there’s the problem of getting him to listen when in fact he’s pretty sure he wrote the book on catly behavior. You know which book–the only one worth reading.

          There’s one called How To Be Annoying And Cute, or something like that? Pretty sure he wrote the first half.

        I’m still feeling so so but it improves a little every day. Pure by accident I met a (cat) women online and she told me her cat is pregnant. She asked me if I was interested in one of the kittens…

          Kittens are psychopaths! Beware! If human beings did half the stupid things that they do, nobody would want anything to do with them.

    I’m sorry there’s been a set back. How frustrating. Hopefully this next round of surgery will fix it and you can truly begin to recover. JKx

    I hope you feel better very soon! (Last time I had surgery, it took me a very long time to recover, and when I complained to my doctor, he said “it’s normal, at your age!”) Le Roi is looking very concerned and I’m sure he’s doing his best to get better 🙂

      Yeah, I’m fairly sure this isn’t his aim! I doubt he gives a stuff whether I get better or not as long as he has his papa.

    I guess, as with some people you love*, you will have to take what you can get with Catorze.

    Sending lots of prayers that your health improves with no setbacks. (I don’t know much French, but I figured out today’s headline without the use of Google Translate and was afraid of what might be coming.)

    *relatives, usually, where you might not have full discretion.
