What things give you energy?
It’s the autumn equinox tomorrow. You all know by now how much I look forward to this day although, this year, we started celebrating autumn on 1st September, the start of meteorological autumn, just to squeeze in more autumn fun.
This is traditionally a time for honouring ageing deities. Louis Catorze certainly regards himself as a deity, but he seems to have forgotten about the “ageing” part; after a summer of looking frail and brittle (if you’re wondering how a cat can look “brittle”, just trust me on this), he seems to have a new lease of life.
As for WHAT exactly is giving him energy, who knows? Darkness? Hallowe’en? Satan? All of the above?
However, one part of Catorze which lies very firmly in the past is his hunting; never before have we reached the autumn equinox without him having brought in at least one mouse. So we have reached the end of an era, although I will not miss the walk of shame to the park bin, hoping that I don’t bump into any neighbours whilst carrying the giveaway knotted plastic bag.
The sun may be setting on summer, but Catorze is just getting started.
Happy Equinox to you all.
