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…

Is a little chaos actually good for us? Sorry … what? Did Louis Catorze tell you that? For more Catorzian capers, please visit http://louiscatorze.com

What do you do to improve your sleep? Honestly? Book a two-week holiday miles away from Louis Catorze and his nonsense. In fact, that’s what we’re doing, as from today, which is fortuitous timing as his Steroid Psycho is kicking in AND we’re just coming off a full moon AND it’s Mercury Retrograde. We will…

Yesterday, we had to return to the vet for Louis Catorze’s blood test. As you are aware, the previous one was an utter cirque de merde due to the little sod fighting off the vet staff so, two hours before this appointment, I had to give him Gabapentin to sedate him. The thought of this…

Over the weekend we had a raging storm in the early hours of the morning, loud enough to wake me up. When I came downstairs at 5:30am, having been boiled awake (thank you, Jessica, for teaching me this brilliantly descriptive expression) by the heat, I saw that Cat Daddy hadn’t put away the outdoor cushions…

My mum came to stay with us last week, for a few days. Her cat, Zelva, rarely meows, something which my brain cannot even begin to fathom, so it was quite a contrast for her to spend time with a cat who is the exact opposite and never shuts up. When my mum arrived, Louis…
