Cat Daddy is complaining that he “can’t” put this cardboard box out for the bin men, and so we’re stuck with it forever more.

He CAN, of course. He just doesn’t want to, because Louis Catorze has claimed it as one of his numerous beds. The bit about us being stuck with it forever more is probably true, though.

Yikes.

This is the reaction that we get when we approach the box:

Oh dear God.

It’s like having a hornets’ nest in your house, or a demonic possession, or some such thing: messing with it, when you don’t really know what you’re doing, will just make it worse. So we’ll probably just leave him be, and tiptoe quietly if we want anything from this room. 

Catorze is truly the king of his Château. And he knows it.

    Goodness. He really doesn’t want anyone touching his box, does he?

      I have to be honest: it’s fake news. He wasn’t snarling, and in actual fact was mid-yawn!

        That’s funny. Cat yawns are pretty amazing. It looks like they unhinge their jaws sometimes.

          It’s terrifying, isn’t it? Makes them look like something from Men in Black.

        RIP Gracie was our box cat. None of the others are as excited so we can actually throw them out the same day they come. Our place often looked like a warehouse.

    The two pictures are impressive. You can move the box to another room without offering it to the bin men. It could be a good compromise, couldn’t it? 😺

      We have no space! Every inch of this house is taken up by his stuff!

      I’m surprised. I thought le Château the three of you live in was a big one 🙂 .

        No, it’s very tiny! It’s only called a CHÂTeau because Catorze is a chat.

    If you need more space and can no longer get rid of the box, you could put papa chat in the recycling instead.

    OMG I have had to give up trying to catch up with the last 7 weeks of Le Blog as having King Merlot and now Queen Halo is taking up my life!!

    Halo waits for her harness and lead to be put on to cone out with Merlot on his walks etc her in his pram for safety from some dogs we meet and Merlot will happily sit in with her if he needs respite from his awfully arthritic knees.

    One dat I may find time to give you a run down of our daily schedule!! As the subservient member of our household I’ll have to ask permission from King Merlot and Queen Halo first of course!
