A story by Louis Catorze’s human cousin Eva, aged 9
*WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC REFERENCES TO MURDER.*
DAY 1
Hour 1: silence. The cats still aren’t home. I honestly can’t believe my life is to sit and sit, alerting motion, and how much do I get paid? Nothing. Not a fart. Now I’ll wait until motion.
Hour 2: nothing.
Hour 3: now I can year snuffling, and – OH GOODNESS. Those felines are playing with something! Phew. My cables are still in.
DAY 2
I haven’t been writing lately. After what I saw yesterday I’ve been in recovery. Don’t even ask me what happened.
Wow! You have a way of getting things out of me.
At around midnight I saw – and heard – Roux (the white feline with the rather big behind) eating something. But I woke up, ready to have another boring day, when I saw it. One single gut. At first I thought it was some jam that one of their careless human slaves had dropped on my floor. But no. A single, bloody gut. The victim of one of the felines.


So I alerted the giant and he came straight away, beaming with pride, but no! I don’t even get any credit. It’s all: “Oohh, I came down the stairs and I found this gut”. Honestly, they might as well be saying “This camera is a waste of money and space”.
Wait – am I a waste of money and space?
