Video calls: no. Just no. Whilst Cat Daddy insists that they are “no different from meeting in person” (?), for me they have a performance element that makes me cringe. I am not a YouTuber, for heaven’s sake. And if I didn’t want to video call when I looked normal and had interesting things to…

I am so, so sorry for the deluge of posts. It’s this darned cat. He just won’t stop. And I am keen to document every bit of it to make a point to all those who say, “But he’s so cute!” “He’s like a little kitten!” “I can’t imagine him being naughty!” and other such…

We appear to be living in not one but TWO horror movie sub-genres at the moment: 1. Post-apocalyptic dystopia. 2. Erm, those films in which the protagonist offends the wrong people and receives a warning message daubed on their house. Not content with annoying the magpies, the parakeets, the foxes and the dogs, and despite…

We are very lucky to have a garden that we have been able to transform into a mini fitness area. Any kind of outside space in London is a precious gift but, at this time, we appreciate it more than ever. Trying to work out at home with Louis Catorze around has had, shall we…

The good thing about having a black cat is that, when they raise hell, you can pretend it was some other cat and not yours. And the chances of anyone proving otherwise, beyond all reasonable doubt, are slim. If they raise hell at night it’s even better, because the darkness hides them and therefore there…

This turbulent period of time seems to be bringing out the furthermost extremes of human behaviour. The good: Everyone in our street is sharing provisions (responsibly) and looking out for each other. And, last weekend, we had a quarantine barbecue with Oscar the dog’s family – them in their garden, us in ours, separate food…

Damn this horrid little sod. Anyone would think he didn’t want to get better. Last week we found Louis Catorze with suspicious new sore patches on his face, indicating that he had found an inventive, secret way of scratching (again). For days we puzzled over how on earth he could possibly have done it, given…

I am sure that you already knew this, Mesdames et Messieurs, but hand sanitising gel and cats don’t mix. In short, it’s because the former contains alcohol and/or tea tree and the latter are prolific lickers (especially of things that we don’t want them to lick). If you’ve had to use hand sanitising gel during…

I don’t know whether collecting Louis Catorze’s medication from the vet is something that most would class as an “essential journey” but, yesterday – BEFORE the announcement from our esteemed leader, I might add – it was essential to us. The little sod’s next steroid shot is due in the first week of April and,…

Louis Catorze has been Côned for almost three weeks – far longer than any of us expected or wanted – in which time he has managed to do the following: – Escape over the fence into That Neighbour’s garden during supervised outdoor time, Cône and all, and get stuck coming back – Escape over the…

Good news: Louis Catorze has something new to take his mind off his health woes. Bad news: WE HAVE A MOUSE IN OUR LIVING ROOM. The phrases “This is the last thing we need” and “You couldn’t make this shit up” were INVENTED for this household. And this is probably my punishment for laughing at…
