Je crie, donc je suis

  • If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be? If you have a cat, don’t bother trying to have professional Zoom meetings in your house. Seriously, just go to someone else’s house to do them. Or hot-desk somewhere. Or sit in your car. Anywhere but your house. Remember when Louis Catorze used…

  • Louis Catorze doesn’t like it when people sneeze. His reaction is more annoyance than fear: he emits an audible scowl, then runs away making bird-chatter sounds. Yes, we know that this is weird.  Cat Daddy’s sneezes are so ear-bleeding loud that they make his guitar sing (or maybe gently weep, I don’t know). This is…

  • What’s your home decoration style? Cat hairs and despair, mostly. For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

  • Whilst holidaying in the Scottish Highlands, I learned of the passing of Doug Thomas, a fellow cat blogger. Although I knew that Doug hadn’t been well, with frequent trips to hospital, this news really knocked me off my feet and I’m still not sure how to process it.  Doug’s was one of the very first…

  • 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…

  • Thanks a lot, Kate and Audrey, for wishing “antics” and “stirring-up” upon us. Because of you, that is exactly what’s happening.  Louis Catorze has been UNHINGED since we returned home, thundering around the house so loudly, and sounding so like an excitable adult human, that he woke Cat Daddy one morning. He also came in…

  • What app eats up most of your screen time, and do you even feel bad about it? I actually checked in my settings to be able to answer this question, and was surprised to discover that my most commonly-used app is actually, erm, the Notes app on my iPhone.  I know. Notes is so boring…

  • Cat Daddy and I are home from holiday. The screaming started as soon as we walked through the door, with Louis Catorze both demanding attention and eyeing us with suspicion. Yes, he did both. Then he went out to the Zone Libre and had an altercation with a crow. Mind you, it doesn’t sound as…

  • Merde: in all the holiday rush and drama, I completely forgot to post about Louis Catorze’s blood test results.  The little sod’s kidney readings are inexplicably normal, although I’m fully expecting all that to turn to shite at a later stage. But his thyroid readings, although lowered, are still not within the healthy range. So…

  • If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why? I think most of us would choose to be a cat. But, of all the cats, I would want to be this one. And, after reading this post, I think you probably would, too. A few weeks ago,…

  • Which book have you read more than any other? *SPOILER ALERT: THIS POST REVEALS THE MAIN PREMISE OF STEPHEN KING’S PET SEMATARY.* Horror fiction doesn’t usually lend itself well to repeated reading – not for me, anyway. However, I may well end up reading Pet Sematary again because I binge-read it (?) in two days,…

  • Which chapter of your life would you entitle “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it? 2014 to present day. Vodka and prayers, mostly. For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

  • Cat Daddy and I are on holiday, in our favourite hideaway in the Scottish Highlands. Louis Catorze is someone else’s problem in the care of our chat-sitting friend, and she reported massive screaming within a short time of her arrival. To be honest, since she’s chat-sat him before and, despite everything, willingly come back for…
