Merde, merde and thrice merde: Louis Catorze’s fancy drinking glasses aren’t working. For reasons that I cannot fathom – and, having observed him drinking, I am none the wiser – he spills water everywhere when using them. He never did this from his previous straight-up-and-down glass. Cat Daddy was convinced that a funnel shape and…

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Louis Catorze loves the rain. Usually, when it starts raining, he races out to sit in it. However, he is highly displeased right now because, although he loves the rain, he doesn’t happen to like THIS rain, TODAY. And he would very much like us…

I have just been screamed at whilst making, and eating, a tuna mayonnaise sandwich. I don’t know where Louis Catorze was when I started making it but, as soon as I opened the can of tuna, it flushed him out of his mystery hiding place place and the noise started. And it went on. And…

I have bought Louis Catorze two new water glasses for his birthday. I wanted a spare one for when the other was in the dishwasher, and I chose two different styles from the same range because I didn’t know which one Catorze would like better. (You’d think all glasses would be created equal, right? But,…

Taking a cat to the vet: always an adventure, but never the good kind. On the morning of our steroid shot appointment, Louis Catorze was nowhere to be found. Cat Daddy eventually found him in the guest bedroom, asleep on the autumn/winter duvet and, just as he tried to grab him, the little sod darted…

Louis Catorze’s body clock is completely up the spout. He is unhungry in the morning, remaining so all day, as if he has forgotten that food is even a thing. Then, as soon as the sun sets, that’s when he wants to eat. In fact, a few days ago, we knew that it was EXACTLY…

What’s the most fun way to exercise? Louis Catorze is a senior gentleman, so much of his time is spent not doing a great deal. However, he is able to commit himself to sport when he feels like it, and these are some of the ones that he likes: However, Catorze’s favourite sport of them…

And there I was berating kittens for being massive shites when I, of all people, ought to know that they don’t get much better when they grow up. I wasn’t able to exercise much last week because of my cold, so I was looking forward to my first walk in ages with my walking friend,…

What animals make the best/worst pets? I don’t know enough about all the different animals in the world to know which are the best pets. But kittens are the worst, without a doubt. I can’t deny that my sister’s new kittens, Mothra and Rodan, are cute. But then all psychopaths have an initial superficial charm,…

I have a cold, and it’s the awful kind that keeps you awake at night with the sweats and the dribbles (sorry if this is too much information). If you know anyone who has ever worked in a school, you will know that it’s practically the law for staff to fall ill during the school…

Any day that starts with being spat on HAS to get better, non? My alarm call this morning was Louis Catorze standing on my chest, screaming, followed by one of those shuddery full-body shakes that cats and dogs do. Because he can’t close his mouth fully on account of his protruding fangs, his shakes are…

Black cats are psychopaths. Kittens are psychopaths. And multiple cats together bring out a gang psychopathy which wouldn’t have been present, or at least would have been significantly diluted, with just one cat. We all know this, right? Yet my sister (not the mamma of Otis and Roux, but the other sister) has just allowed…

It’s the Easter holidays. I would usually introduce a holiday post with “Merci à Dieu” but, in this case, it’s also a couple of days before the start of Mercury Retrograde and I’m stuck at home for two weeks with Louis Catorze. So it’s more of a “Merde, merde and thrice merde” than a “Merci…

It’s official: Cat Daddy has banned the Spring Zing from Le Château. I’m not sure how to keep it out, but I imagine we’ll be covering the windows in tin foil and nailing the doors shut. It’ll be like The Mist meets The Purge, only much less fun because we’ll be sealing the antagonist inside…
