Je crie, donc je suis

Merci à Dieu: it’s the Easter holidays. This is excellent because I don’t have to think about work for a whole two weeks, but also worrying because I’ll be spending more time with Louise Catorze, who has been absolutely unhinged lately.

Springtime tomfoolery.

On the last day of term I switched off my weekday alarm, although I needn’t have bothered: Catorze, despite leaving me alone most mornings for the last three months, happily provided a wake-up service, fifty minutes before my regular alarm would have gone off. 

I caught him on the kitchen worktop again on the first day of the holidays. He also seems to have resumed his habit of going into the bathroom to get high on the bleach, because Cat Daddy found muddy paw prints on the floor. After muddying them, the little weasel walked across my new white trousers, leaving The Mark of the Beast as he did so: 

Yuck.

Meanwhile, on the south coast, Otis seems to have turned his garden into the local feline community centre. Idris, The Cat With The Human Face, is a frequent patron, although he only lives next door and was always around anyway. The bigger surprise is this fluffy newcomer. Who is s/he? And does s/he come in peace?

Idris, New Kid and Otis decide who will take the minutes of the meeting.
This looks quite civilised?

I hope that whatever’s powering them will calm the heck down. That said, there’s a full moon in a couple of days’ time, so I suspect it will only get worse.

    I don’t know if it’s different where you are, but I don’t remember ever getting more than a week off for spring break.

      Easter is usually two weeks in the UK. Then we have a week’s break in late May, before The Big One in the summer.

      That’s assuming Catorze doesn’t scare the bunny away!

        About that, we are luckier than you. As Timon spent some weeks with dwarf rabbits, it is highly unlikely that he scares any bunny away 😺.

            .We hadn’t hosted him yet when he was living with dwarf rabbits. But when he came to our place, he liked mimicking the meerkat, hence his name. https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Timon

      Getting up unnecessarily early hasn’t been that much fun so far. 😳 And it’s a full moon on Thursday! Does Niki act up when it’s a full moon?

        I don’t know. I’ll keep my eyes on him next Thursday…
        I’m having extra chocolate on the full moon nights… 😎

    Sounds like everyone’s feeling spring. Cats think breakfast time is ridiculously early this time of year.

      Yup, spring is definitely here in the UK. And it’s accelerating fast. The daffodils are mostly gone, and the leaves have overtaken the blossom. Does this mean cats’ madness will accelerate too?
