When British people say, “The weather is getting warmer”, what they probably mean is that it’s 0.01°C less cold than it was yesterday. This time, however, Louis Catorze can feel it. And the little sod has been outside for hours.
Catorze absolutely LOVES being outside, and his favourite spot is his plinth underneath the outdoor table. It gives him a better vantage point than just being on the ground, plus he’s cushioned and protected from the rain. And, in the event of other animals rocking up and things going awry, he’s close enough to the house to be able to dart back quickly.
(Catorze would be more inclined to stay and fight than retreat, much to Cat Daddy’s joy and my disappointment. Still, the retreat option is there, should he choose it. Which he won’t.)
I can’t take a picture of him on his plinth because, when he hears me approaching, he runs to greet me, chirping and trilling. But here’s a picture of him taken last summer, making the most of his happy place:
