Louis Catorze’s second, and hopefully last, dental surgery went well. He is now minus two more teeth: his last remaining lower canine and the small incisor next to it. And we are minus £435. The timing has turned out to be less than optimal, to say the least. We are barely out of the monetary…

We have survived Storm Eunice and Storm Franklin and emerged on the other side, triumphant and victorious. Our only casualty was part of the fence separating us from That Neighbour, which means Louis Catorze will now find it easier than ever to pitter-patter over there and annoy him. Meanwhile, Catorze’s food weirdness remains as it…

Cat Daddy and I are back from Iceland, and we were lucky enough to land just before Storm Eunice hit. If you have never been to Iceland, I highly recommend it; it’s the most exquisite, enchanting place. I have learned that a single ten-minute mud mask at the Blue Lagoon can miraculously erase several days…

Cat Daddy and I are still in Iceland. News from Le Château is that Louis Catorze has latched onto the gentleman of the chat-sitting couple and won’t let him get on with his work. This will not surprise anyone. It seems that the universe has rewarded me for putting principles over points because, last week,…

Cat Daddy and I are in Iceland at the moment, so we spent the last couple of days preparing for the arrival of Louis Catorze’s chat-sitteurs. We systematically have to remind all visitors that Catorze has a naughty habit of entering bedrooms and raising merry hell as people sleep, and this occasion was no exception.…

Oui, Mesdames et Messieurs, the answer to Wednesday’s French Wordle was this: I know. I didn’t think proper nouns were allowed but, after some research, I have discovered that a louis is a type of sovereign coin. So I have learned something new. I have to give a special mention to my friend Ben for…

In my eight years of writing Le Blog, never have I ever posted twice in one day. So, if you are a regular follower, you will know that this is a TRÈS big deal indeed. If you’re into Wordle, please give the French equivalent, Le Mot, a go today. Even if you don’t think you…

West Ham footballer Kurt Zouma has been cruel to his cat, and everyone in the U.K. is rightly livid about it. This was bad timing as I had just moved him into my Fantasy Football team for the new game week. There is a video online showing what happened, but I haven’t posted a copy…

Cat Daddy: “Oh my God. What’s happened to Louis’s fur?” Me, imagining the horror of a Code Brun situation: “Erm, why? What’s wrong with it?” Him: “It’s gone all weird.” Me: “???” Him: “Like tiger bread.” Me: “???” Him: “Come and look.” It turned out that the cause of Cat Daddy’s alarm was Louis Catorze’s…

Merci à Dieu et à tous ses anges: after a few months of being out of stock, Louis Catorze’s Orijen is back. Cat Daddy opened a new pack the other day and, for the first time in ages, the little sod wolfed down a whole scoop, without leaving a single crumb. Cat Daddy, assuming I…

Louis Catorze has been an utter pest for the last few days, and he has neither the moon (nowhere near full) nor the steroid shot (hasn’t taken place yet) as an excuse this time. By day he annoys the merde out of Cat Daddy, headbutting his laptop and screaming, and by night he annoys me…

Louis Catorze is delighted that one of his comrades has infiltrated moved into the White House. And he is not remotely surprised to learn that the cat chose them, and not vice versa, when she decided to join Dr Biden on stage during her husband’s presidential campaign. I imagined that Catorze would be somewhat affronted…

Back in May last year, I posted about my sister in SE20 who is trying to trap some feral cats who live near her house. She is soldiering on in her mission, but we are all worried about one particular black cat, known in the neighbourhood as Chunky (for obvious reasons). The poor boy needs…

There is a new némésis in town, and Louis Catorze is not pleased about this at all. I know: when you’ve pissed off almost every animal you’ve ever met, the last thing you need is another enemy, right? But our mutual friend has, for whatever reason, decided that adding one more to his portfolio would…
