How would you improve your community?

Cat Daddy and I try to have a date night every so often. And last week it was, erm, an environmental meeting at a local church hall, to discuss climate change, green spaces and biodiversity. 

When one of the speakers informed us of recent research indicating that noise pollution contributes to heart disease, Cat Daddy turned to me and whispered, “We’re going to have to get rid of HIM.”

He didn’t mean the speaker. He was talking about Louis Catorze. 

On the walk back home from the meeting, Cat Daddy continued his rant: 

“He’s noise pollution. He’s basically a heart attack waiting to happen. We’ve always known it, but now it’s been proven. I actually try to creep in really quietly when I get home, so that I won’t disturb him and set off that constant, bloody annoying “Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!” He’s RUINING our lives.”

Right. 

I suppose the one silver lining in all this is that having Catorze live with us saves someone else the anguish. We’re improving our community, non? If this isn’t doing our civic duty, then I don’t know what is. 

Bastard cat.

    I guess you could count yourselves fortunate because in this household HEAVY METAL is de rigueur.

      Cat Daddy is partial to old-man music such as Pink Floyd and Led Zep, played at top volume. But he doesn’t consider that noise pollution.

    Ironically, given how Louis reacts when Cat Daddy brings out the guitar, there is some difference of opinion on what constitutes Noise Pollution. Another good thing seems to be that if Cat Daddy can’t sneak home quietly you are in no danger of being burgled either.

      Catorze would TOTALLY snuggle the burglars.

    Not only do you improve your community, but also you improve our emotional health since you often achieve to make us laugh. Once again, I tell you « thank you »

      Haha, thank you! I suppose it also improves your emotional health to know that your cat is actually a saint compared to Catorze.

        Unfortunately, it doesn’t because our silly cat is far from being a saint 😺

    Louis’ noise is more like Gregorian chants. Saintly in it’s own way! 🙂

          He won’t be achieving a spiritual, meditative state with that screaming!

    It only counts as noise pollution If it stresses you. Tell Cat Daddy he should try meditation. 🙂

      For a second I thought that said “medication”. Which could still work?
