Je crie, donc je suis

Cat Daddy and I went to visit my sister at the weekend, in an effort to escape feline bullshittery. 

We failed in our mission. 

Mesdames et Messieurs, it may well be deep autumn here in the UK, but nobody appears to have told Roux this. The little sod is still merrily hunting, as she did throughout the summer, and the arrival of household guests meant a perfect opportunity to show off her hunting prowess. 

Roux’s brother Otis is innocent, for once.

Roux’s favourite spot is underneath the acer bower in the garden, where she remains completely concealed when the tree is in full leaf. My sister and I were chatting in the kitchen when, suddenly, Roux sprang out from her hiding place, feathers flying and a huge pigeon in her mouth. 

Oh. Mon. Dieu. 

Luckily Roux wasn’t able to see the task through to the end; the pigeon was able to flap free and fly away. However, the evidence of the attempted murder was there for all to see, in the form of feathers all over the lawn and stuck to the offender’s whiskers.

Holy moly.
HOLY MOLY.

Meanwhile, back in TW8, Catorze appears to have behaved throughout our absence. Once again, I don’t understand it but I’ll take it.

    Maybe they could hire your cat sitter for Roux and come to visit your menage.

      To make Roux behave, you mean? Could this work? 🤔

    Izzy continues to kill socks. She drags them, kicking probably, out of the washing basket and leaves them, for all to find, in the hall. Then, I have no idea how, she kills its mate, and arranges them, together, like some kind of woolly Romeo and Juliet.

      She … pairs them up for you? I’ve wasted YEARS of my life matching up socks! Izzy is a good citizen!

    The feather in the whisker is a stylish touch!

      Yes! After her initial attempted murder, she went back into the feathers to mess around.

    You saw the huge rat Ramses brought down recently, right? Last week he caught a mouse.

      I don’t remember the rat. It could be that my brain has blocked it out, though.

    Great picture of the offender’s whiskers but don’t worry about the feathers we can see all over the lawn. Many birds are accustomed to losing some feathers during predation attempts. It is an strategy to escape from the predator. Anyway, unlike the day she peed on the carpet, this time, Roux deserves some congratulations, doesn’ she?

    It is, unfortunately, that time of year. I have received two “gifts” so far this week. An old house with cooler temperatures means that the mice are looking for a warm place to winter. And Snoops is the best hunter I’ve known since my parents’ indoor/outdoor cat.
