À pauvre coeur, petit souhait

You have three magic genie wishes. What will you ask for?

Quite frankly, I only have one wish right now: for Louis Catorze to produce a passable Official Hallowe’en Portrait. However, the chances of this happening are slim-to-zéro. 

Cat Daddy’s friend Mike has gifted us with six monster pumpkins from his allotment, some of which were so heavy that we had to transport them from the car by rolling them onto a blanket and carrying the four corners. So we have props aplenty. The subject matter, however, isn’t cooperating. He just refuses. 

I now have [checks calendar] four days to produce something. How frustrating to be in possession of the most amazing pumpkins in the world and AN ACTUAL BLACK VAMPIRE CAT, yet I’m still stuck without an Official Hallowe’en Portrait. Let’s hope the universe is able to deliver me some magic soon …

My best effort so far. Ahem.

    Wishing you luck. Black cat and orange pumpkins is a great combination.

    PS: Today is National Black Cat Day in the US.

      It would be a great combination if I could get it to work!

    Hmmm…. Darth Vader often insists that his pumpkins be carved into jack-o-lanterns. Perhaps le roi has the same expectation?

    If it’s any comfort I have the same problem at this end.

        It’s like wrestling with an octopus getting Ramses to sit still. Purrhaps I’ll try with Brandon…

          Maybe Ramses will see his brother in action and be inspired to pose beautifully!

    The pumpkins are gorgeous. I do hope you find a way to lure Louis into this great gathering of gourds.

      He doesn’t have a heart. There’s just a gap where it ought to be.

    It appears that Louis is not impressed by the pumpkins. (They are very nice.) You will probably have exactly one opportunity for the picture.

      The weather hasn’t really been conducive to repeated attempts as yet. I’m starting to panic. Might have to revert to Plan B (which I don’t have yet).

    Maybe sprinkle some catnip in there? Cats rarely (and that means never) do what you want them to.

    Perhaps dangle a small piece of fish or ham just out of his reach while Cat Daddy shoots the pic? (I’m thinking this may provoke Catorze to open his mouth, showing his fangs )🤷
