If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why?
I’m not sure whether it’s a “skill” as such, but Louis Catorze would be master and commander of storms. He loves them so much that, as soon as he hears thunder or rainfall, he stops whatever he’s doing (which, usually, isn’t a lot) and runs outside.
His favourite thing is sitting underneath the outdoor table and listening to the rain fall around him. And his second favourite thing is jumping onto the table and licking up the pooled rainwater.
A few days ago, I saw him atop the table having a good old drink. This was absolutely nothing unusual. But, after he’d finished, he came indoors and had an equally good old drink from his indoor glass.
There was plenty of water in each place for him to have guzzled with gay abandon, without needing further water from the second place.
So why did he do it? Does he require … a rainwater main course followed by a tap water pudding?
