Je crie, donc je suis

I’ve been doing facial massage for a few months, and I know most of my exercises by heart. However, I have recently started a new set with a new practitioner, so I needed the instructional video to know what I was doing. And, regretfully, the moment that I chose to watch the video coincided with the moment that Louis Catorze decided to [I don’t know what to say here because I still don’t have any words for what he did]. 

Throughout the video he bounced around, screaming and screaming. At one point he lay across me, with his belly splodging across my phone so that I couldn’t see the screen, which wasn’t very helpful but at least he appeared to have ceased his [whatever it was]. 

Then a fly entered the room and the whole débâcle started again, this time with additional sound effects from his claws slapping and scraping on the walls as he repeatedly swiped at this fly. 

The fifteen-minute video was supposed to be a relaxing, tension-releasing experience. Catorze did his utmost to ensure that it was anything but. In fact, I was probably more tense afterwards than before. 

I have a live video call booked for tomorrow, with both the practitioner and (oh dear God) OTHER PEOPLE. We all know what Catorze is like with video calls (and, in fact, he probably thought this was one, and was trying to sabotage it), so I don’t hold out much hope for it going well. At least, not unless Cat Daddy and I can build that lead-lined underground vault by tomorrow night. 

Bastard cat. Also, get off my pillow.

      And, for that, I thank him. May he please leave me alone during my call, though.

    Rather than build an underground vault, couldn’t Cat Daddy take care of Louis during your live video call? Take heart, anyway.

      We often have to do exactly that when one of us has a call; the other has to be on Catorze Duty. So it may well come to that.

        Parents with young kids often have to do that too 🙂.

          Yes. Living with Catorze is like living with a particularly disobedient and ill-behaved toddler.

    An underground vault sounds like something a vampire kitty might enjoy. Just saying…

      True! He would probably have fun there!

    My workplace dog deploys her “must commence thundering rapid fire barking” alarm whenever I receive an important call, forcing me to apologize profusely and put the caller on hold and put her in an office, whereupon she proceeds to whine continously. Our offices are ground floor, very high ceilings (perfect for echos) and many windows, all the better for her 34 kilos of fury to be both heard and witnessed by the object of her indignity…(cat, person wearing hat, dog,etc) 🙄

      So dogs can do drama just as well as cats!

    If the practitioner is female, maybe he’ll be less interested
