What job would you do for free?
We have a rat in the garden. It casually ambled past the patio doors when the Dog Family and Blue the Smoke Bengal’s mamma were round for lunch, and every single one of them saw it.
Louis Catorze was nowhere to be found at the time. We believe he was asleep in his freezer bag.
It’s embarrassing enough having your guests think your property is a manky, rat-infested hovel, but the fact that we have a cat makes it even worse. So the one job which we would really like Catorze to do is the one, bare-minimum job that any cat would be expected to do: fix the bloody rodent problem.
Blue the Smoke Bengal would have ended that rat in an instant. However, whilst Catorze has previous when it comes to rat-catching – for instance, the one that he gifted to his chat-sitteur, and the one that traumatised our cleaning lady – but both of those were ages ago. He didn’t catch a single rodent in 2025 and I don’t see him doing it now, especially as he is the expert at doing the exact opposite of what we want him to do.
Cat Daddy: “He NEEDS to catch that rat. Even if he brings it up to the bedroom, I don’t care. As long as he catches it.”
And now I won’t be sleeping ever again. Thanks for that.
Come on, Catorze. It’s more important now than ever before for you to do the right thing.
