  • Louis Catorze scratched up his face again, right after I said to someone, “Thank God he hasn’t scratched up his face again.”  Luckily it didn’t seem to be bothering him; right after doing the evil deed he went absolutely psycho, racing around, pouncing on random objects, leaping onto the shutters and so on. He even…

  • Describe one positive change you have made in your life The fancy place from where we buy our Michelin-starred hot-smoked salmon, has just started selling fish offcuts for pets. And, unbelievably, it was Cat Daddy’s suggestion that we buy some for Louis Catorze. When it arrived, we were astounded at its quality: no skin, no…

  • Merde, merde and thrice merde. You are not going to believe this.  The VERY DAY that I posted about Rodan going out scrapping and injuring his face, Louis Catorze decided to go out to the Zone Libre looking normal (well, “normal” by his standards, anyway) and return home looking like this:  This wasn’t caused by…

  • What animals make the best/worst pets? I don’t know about the best. However, I’m a lot more certain about which are the worst.  My sister and her family are going away for a few days. So, naturellement, Rodan chose now to go out scrapping and sustain injuries to his face. Not only is the little sod…

  • Cat Daddy is complaining that he “can’t” put this cardboard box out for the bin men, and so we’re stuck with it forever more. He CAN, of course. He just doesn’t want to, because Louis Catorze has claimed it as one of his numerous beds. The bit about us being stuck with it forever more…

  • 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…
