Because Louis Catorze is a grazer rather than a scoffer, and wet food doesn’t lend itself brilliantly to being left for ages, we have had to start covering his bowl with a saucer every time he leaves it. This sometimes means that, when he comes back to his bowl, it’s covered up and nobody is at hand to remove the cover.
And, because Catorze is thicker than a concrete milkshake, he hasn’t figured out how to dislodge the cover himself.
Most normal cats, of course, would have done this on their own, ages ago, especially as it’s just a small plate precariously balancing there; simply exhaling with some vigour would topple it. Blue the Smoke Bengal, who was so impatient that he used to flip those special bowls intended to slow down his eating, would have sent it flying, eaten the food, then probably eaten the broken pieces of porcelain too.
But this is Catorze we’re talking about, and he just sits by his covered plate and waits until someone notices him.
One day he will realise how easy it is to nudge off the cover. Today is not that day.
