  • The clocks went forward on Sunday, so it’s now officially British Summer Time. Weirdly, nobody says “British Winter Time” before the clocks go forward. It’s either British Summer Time or, erm, it’s not.  Cat people often complain that their furry overlords, seemingly unaware of the change, continue to wake them up for food at the…

  • How would you improve your community? Cat Daddy and I try to have a date night every so often. And last week it was, erm, an environmental meeting at a local church hall, to discuss climate change, green spaces and biodiversity.  When one of the speakers informed us of recent research indicating that noise pollution…

  • Louis Catorze hasn’t been eating much lately. In fact, after initially leaping onto his wet food and devouring it like a starving savage, he’s now only moderately keen when I dish up. He’s the same with his Orijen too: he’ll tuck in eventually, but there’s a definite reluctance.  One morning, he lapped up a couple…

  • What makes you laugh? A lot of things, most days. Today, however, it’s Louis Catorze purring so hard that it makes his whole body rock back and forth: For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

  • Cat Daddy has treated me to one of those Oura fitness tracker rings. As well as monitoring all sorts of things such as sleep and heart rate, it also looks unbelievably cool.  Setting up these electronic devices is always easy when it works, less easy when it doesn’t, and downright bloody impossible when you have…

  • How has technology changed your job? Well, there was never any of this kind of shit before the internet, that’s for sure: For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

  • Cat Daddy and I really enjoy shopping at the plastic-free bulk foods shop in Chiswick. There’s not much there for Louis Catorze on account of, erm, most of their stock being vegan and him not, but it’s a great place for treats for ourselves. But we love the shop even more after this little card…

  • *WARNING: IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY WEAK-STOMACHED, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.* The day after the Spring Equinox, Cat Daddy, Louis Catorze and I went outside to survey the grounds of Le Château. Our garden can be something of a cabinet of curiosities, with random things growing that we can’t identify and that we…

  • What do you wish you could do more every day? It’s not a wish anymore because I actually do it, although not quite every day. Stop wishing, if that’s what you’re doing, and actually do it. Life’s too short. Cat Daddy and I have started treating ourselves to fresh flowers once a month. It feels…

  • What one word describes you? Several words come to mind. None are repeatable in polite company.  For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

  • Louis Catorze’s summer mode has been officially activated.  It’s not summer yet. In fact, it’s not even spring. But the fact that it’s the wrong time has never stopped him from doing what he wants. A few rays of sunshine and he’s out … which makes it all the more insulting that he should run…

  • Who is the most confident person you know? You all know the answer to this: it’s Louis Catorze. He struts his way through life assuming that everyone loves him. Not everyone DOES love him. But he couldn’t give the square root of a shit. For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

  • In what activities do you lose yourself? (Sorry, I couldn’t bear to end the sentence on a preposition, so I had to change the prompt.) Screaming. It’s by far Louis Catorze’s favourite thing in the world to do. And, sometimes, he screams himself into such a frenzy that there’s no air left in him. I…

  • Louis Catorze has just discovered the joy of attacking me through the weighted blanket. And, despite the blanket being quite robust, I can feel the his claws through it and they HURT.  He doesn’t do this to the blanket when it’s lying folded up, only when it’s on me. Which seems to disprove my original…
