What’s a promise you made that you’ve actually kept?
Well, he hasn’t kept it yet – in fact, he keeps trying to wriggle out of it – but perhaps posting it here will shame him into being a man of his word.
Allow me to explain:
Despite Cat Daddy’s efforts to sabotage Louis Catorze’s World Cup sweepstake (by, erm, allocating him a team who weren’t even participating), Spain emerged as the victors. And Spain happened to be one of Catorze’s teams.
Cat Daddy, when I told him the happy news: “Oh. Didn’t we take Spain away from him and replace it with Italy?”
Me: “What? No. Google Gemini was the one who allocated him both Spain and Italy. I suggested giving him France instead of Italy, to make it fair, but you vetoed it.”
Cat Daddy: “So HE wins?”
Me: “HE WINS.”
Cat Daddy: “[Unrepeatable Expletives.]”
Cat Daddy then tried to renege on his agreement to award Catorze his prize (sleeping in Cat Daddy’s bed for a whole night, something not usually allowed), but eventually he grudgingly relented. However, he simply left the bedroom door open in the expectation that the little sod would see it open and go in to claim his winnings. He didn’t.
Cat Daddy, the next morning: “Well, that was his once chance. If he didn’t take it, that’s his problem. I’m shutting the door from now on.”
Me: “But he’s a vampire. Vampires don’t come in unless they’re invited.”
[Silence, tumbleweed, crickets.]
Perhaps, if we all collectively keep up the pressure, Cat Daddy will award Catorze his rightful prize, as agreed. He wouldn’t break a promise to an elderly cat who probably won’t even be around for the next World Cup … would he?
