What is your favourite restaurant?

Louis Catorze favours any establishment which will allow patrons to send back their food limitless times, without explanation. Right now, that establishment is us.

Although … can a place even call themselves a restaurant when the one and only customer refuses to actually EAT?

Having watched Catorze attempt to eat his Pet Picks fish, I actually don’t think his rejection is wholly because he’s a massive arse. Well, that is part of it. But I also think he’s losing his sense of smell and struggling with chewy foods. 

So here I am, cooking – COOKING – premium fish for my cat. Incidentally, it was Cat Daddy’s idea. 

Yum.
Yes, he was mid-scream here.

Catorze was happy to eat it once it was cooked. However, this was his plate afterwards: 

A pathetic effort.

There is not a chance in hell that I’m spending my time sautéing fish in goat’s butter (no joke: this actually happened) for a thankless little shite who won’t even eat it all. 

So our Pet Picks idea has died a death, although Cat Daddy is tempted to buy it again, for us. Yes, eating our cat’s rejected food. That’s how low we have stooped. 

You just relax whilst we all skivvy around for you.

    That fish actually looks pretty good. I’d try it. Loss of smell would account for the lack of appetite.

      It does look good, doesn’t it? Spoilt little sod.

    I wonder if there’s also premium fish for a Belgian tourist paying you a visit someday? 😽

      Absolutely! And it won’t be Catorze’s leftovers!

    I wish someone would cook me some nice fish like this 🙂 But no sense of smell = no appetite, that’s normal. It’s such a pain to grow old 😦 When Miss Penny was in a lot of pain, at the end, I not only prepared food for her but I brought it to her bed so she wouldn’t have to move. It was a privilege to serve my sweet Miss Penny. Some people would say “but she’s JUST a cat!” and I think that those who can’t do their very best to help a cat in need wouldn’t do it for a human being either!

      People said that when you were looking after your cat at the end of her life? Even if I absolutely hated animals I would never say that to someone!

    I’m afraid, but aren’t you too demanding a servant? As I can see, Poor Louis ate more than one mouthful which is clearly better than nothing. Take heart 😺..

      His efforts to eat don’t, in any way, match my efforts to prepare.

        In this specific case, can’t you see the plate half-empty as good news?

      I know! Same! 🤣🤣🤣 And yet he isn’t interested, despite screaming like a banshee when we make fish for ourselves.

    Would adding some warm broth to his food help? Either the kind made for cats or, more likely, something homemade.

      I have tried this, and he loved the broth to start with. Then he changed his mind.

        I’ve been there– it’s distressing. I hope you can find something he’ll like. (Just remembered– one thing that was recommended was baby food. Plain chicken/fish/beef. I never got to try it, but I thought it was worth mentioning.)
