Se plaindre de son sort

What do you complain about the most?

Louis Catorze has the whiniest, most irritating voice on this earth. The problem with this is that, when he uses his voice – and he uses it A LOT – we have no idea whether he’s complaining or not. 

Our visitors, upon hearing his screams, often take pity on him immediately, saying, “Aww, poor Louis! What’s the matter?” Erm, nothing. That’s just his normal voice. 

I could post multiple examples of his work, but this video from some years ago was probably the most embarrassing (being out in public) and the loudest. And, no, nothing was wrong:

Saint Jésus.

      No, he just does this for fun.

        Oh, that’s right. It’s Louis. It doesn’t have to make sense.

          And if it made sense, that in itself would not make sense.

    I played this on my phone and my husband looked up immediately and asked if it was Darth.

        Similar. I’d say Darth has a slightly deeper ton than le roi.

            Trust me, you don’t. In his elder years, he has become even more vocal.

    When I encounter such a cat while having a walk, I’m accustomed to telling it « Pauvre petit chat, qu’est-ce qui se passe? ». It is useless for the two of us, it is just trying to behave as a good Samaritan 😺.

      I’d advise walking away from Catorze. Run, if you have to.

        Every now and then, the unknown encountered cat lets me pet it and it makes my day 😺

      There’s something wrong with him, that’s for sure! Although I think this occasion might have been happiness to see me home from work.

    I played the video and Rosie, who was hiding under the armchair in the living room ran to me, wondering what was happening! I explained to her that it was Louis, and that he spoke with a British accent, which is why it sounded so strange 😀 She said “ah” with her tiny, mousy, squeaky voice, and went back into hiding!

      Hahaha! I always imagine him speaking English with a French accent.

    Jenny Cat twitched an ear and immediately went back to her washing. She’s obviously not impressed by the whiny one. Although that sounded remarkably like she does when she’s shouting to wake me up. On that basis maybe he’s shouting just to ensure his tin-opener is still alive.

      I’m very interested in Baggy’s response! 🤣🤣🤣 On this occasion I think Sa Maj was welcoming me home from work.

        He wasn’t around, if I remember I’ll find out what he does.

    He Just wants his Mummy, that’s what he clearly said! This is the difference between him and Merlot, Merlot just gives an assortment of looks and with him having been so poorly lately that includes licking my arm fervently meaning get me water quick cos I can’t go to it myself. He pants like crazy looking worried means get me out quick, I’ve been trying to catch your attention but you didn’t look at me. Him being on the floor and looking at the armchair then back at me, back at the armchair, back at me means pick me up woman I want to sit up there. When I was using the bathroom on the middle of the nighy he needed to use his puppy pad, so stiffly limped over to me and kissed me, walked out and repeated this several times and as soon as I was leaving the bathroom he went to my coat and nodded the hem in the air a couple of times, this wasn’t quite ‘get your coat you’ve pulled’ but get your coat was definitely part of the command

    He is the Sun King. He wants to make sure everyone knows he is in the room. 🙂
