Which activities make you lose track of time? We all know that Louis Catorze can tell the time; look here, here, here and here for examples of when he has proven this. And, after a few days of living with our chat-sitteur whilst we were in Scotland, he worked out what time her alarm went…

What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? *WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF MURDER AND DEATH* I would love to be able to answer this question with “Jambon de Bayonne” or “organic aged Comté from the local cheese deli”, giving the message that Louis Catorze is a cultured gentleman with a sophisticated palate. However, these…

Describe your most memorable holiday. I have zero memory for places I’ve been to, so my most recent holiday will have to do. And it’s so recent that, erm, we’re still here! Cat Daddy and I are in the same part of the Scottish Highlands that we visited last year, and I’m writing this post…

What are your daily habits? In the summer months, they mostly involve efforts to escape the evil pollen: lighting beeswax candles, swallowing antihistamines, applying eye drops, that kind of thing. Fun! However, I haven’t had much success, and this is mostly Louis Catorze’s fault. If you share a house with an animal who goes outdoors…

It’s our last guitar lesson of the term tomorrow, and we are going to take our teacher out for a drink. We really love our lessons, so we will miss them during the summer break. We are not sure that our teacher will feel the same, but tant pis. When I was practising the guitar…

This week, we have been mostly dealing with this kind of caper: In other news, I don’t know whether it’s a Weird Moon, whether the planets have aligned themselves in some unique way, never up be repeated again, or perhaps some other mystical force is at work here? But we appear to have solved a…

In the U.K. last week, a person (who remains unknown, but I would bet Le Château on them being male) called the police to report that they were being followed by a cat. The story went viral in the media, leading the police to remind us, “Think before you dial”. Despite being a nation of…

One of my international students, R, has lots of cats back home in Cyprus. Two of them are called, erm, Fluffy and Hitler. But the others don’t have names, nor is he even sure of how many there are. My mind is utterly blown at the thought of naming some cats but not others, and…

The football fixtures for the next season were announced last Thursday. I had been looking forward to that day for weeks and was up early, sitting eagerly with my phone. (They don’t release the dates until 9am so I know that it’s a waste of time expecting anything to happen before then, but such was…

I found Louis Catorze’s mouse on the afternoon of that incident. Luckily I didn’t have to search under the bed because, erm, the flies very helpfully guided me to where I needed to look. And it had no head, which either means that he has a taste for them (ugh) or I need to start…

I am prepared to cut Louis Catorze some slack when it’s a full moon; there’s no way that a black vampire cat CANNOT be affected by it so, sometimes, maybe he just can’t help it (whatever “it” may be). However, when the moon is in its NEW* phase, it’s more difficult. *This is not a…

After a week or so of assaulting Louis Catorze with hands covered in coconut oil – which he really didn’t like – his fur was 88% greasier than before, and the dandruff was 0.01% better. However, when I gave him his spot-on treatment, things miraculously improved. A friend told me that her cats had a…

Today is Dracula Day, which celebrates the anniversary of the publication of Bram Stoker’s iconic novel. I loved it when I read it years ago, and it remains my favourite book of all time. Louis Catorze was perfectly placed for an Official Dracula Day Portrait – sitting beneath our Count Dracula decoration – when Cat…

After tiring of waking up every morning looking as if my face had been put through a trouser press (younger followers: ask your parents), I recently bought a couple of sets of those satin pillowcases. If you haven’t seen them, they’re a bit 1980s and not the most attractive of objects, but they are supposed…
