Je crie, donc je suis

What do you complain about the most?

Louis Catorze is always complaining about something. Sadly, nobody knows what. 

Yes, he even lodges aerial complaints, like this.

His screaming is getting worse. Worse in volume, worse in frequency and worse in tone. The one thing that seems to shut him up is me picking up my phone to record it, which he’s absolutely doing on purpose to make you think I’m lying. 

Cat Daddy: “Could you get his voice made into a ringtone? Maybe you could sell it on your blog with the other Louis Catorze merchandise.” (The way he says “the other Louis Catorze merchandise” makes it sound as if this is something I’ve planned to do. Believe me, it’s not.) 

Me: “Who the hell would want that on their phone, never mind pay money for it?”

Cat Daddy: “Someone somewhere might.”

No, they wouldn’t. I’d make far more money getting one of my Year 11 Computer Science students to send out Catorze’s voice as a virus. Then I’d charge people a flat fee to have it removed, and a monthly subscription to keep it away.

What do you think, Mesdames et Messieurs? Would you go for a Catorzian scream as your ringtone? 

Perhaps it would make you super-efficient at work, as you’d be answering your phone very quickly every time? Or are you of the view that you like having functioning eardrums? 

Sorry, wrong number.

    Maybe. Possibly. Most phones offer the capability to have different ringtones for different numbers – like Family or Medical Offices or businesses. So Catorze might alert you to calls you’d just as soon let go to voicemail.

      But … letting it go to voicemail involves letting it ring for longer. Trust me, people wouldn’t want this. His voice needs to be attached to your In Case Of Emergency contact or your boss or someone whom you need to pick up quickly.

    I’ve accused Ramses of reading your posts behind my back and he’s (for some unknown reason) become more vocal these last few months.

    H.I.M Xenia ( Empress of all she surveyed) used to sing “arias” on the stairs, she found that it amplified her voice. Then we renovated the bathroom, and with all the tile, it was an even better place for the Arias. Early mornings were a real “treat.”

    It is likely to be a great project but TBH, I’m not really interested in such an offer. I have already enough on my plate to cope with Timon’s screaming 😺.

        Don’t forget Timon spent his childhood with dwarf rabbits. As the latter ones were unable to teach him how to communicate with human beings, Timon’s screaming is far from being as efficacious as Louis’s one. You would be disappointed 🙂.

    No thanks. I have a screamer too. If you find customers you can offer a female version from my cat.

    lol, you make me laugh. The second Rosie heard Louis, she ran into my room looking like something urgent was happening! She seems to understand him, even though he speaks English and she speaks French.

            He didn’t move his body. I presume it means there was no imminent peril 😺 .

    It certainly gets your attention- it would make a perfect smoke alarm, or car alarm!

      It would! Nobody would just ignore it, as they do with most car alarms!

    I accidentally hit play on the video with the volume up and everyone’s head snapped up, cats, dogs, and even my poor husband who was innocently napping on the couch. The Catorzian battle cry would make for a great alarm clock.

      AN ALARM CLOCK. That is a genius idea.💡 Nobody would ever be late for work! Imagine how productive we would become as a society!

    I don’t use a ringtone. But if I did, I would definitely consider a cat complaining. Unlike you. I could control the volume. 🙂
