We have managed to solve the long-standing mystery of how Louis Catorze manages to come indoors with a parchment-dry body and a dripping wet tail.
As well as drinking from his water glass, Catorze drinks from the rainwater that pools on our outdoor table. This makes it impossible to answer when the vet asks us whether he’s drinking normally, but we can’t do much to stop it, so tant pis. However, when sitting down for a drink in his outdoor bar, he perches on the slightly drier Caithness flagstone place mat things but trails his tail across the table top where most of the water collects:

Tucking his tail around his arse would have helped to keep him dry but, for whatever reason, he didn’t want to do that. None of us can understand the appeal of having any part of one’s body trailing in cold water, but that’s Catorze for you.
Anyway, that’s one Roi Mystery solved. Only 98,311 to go.
