Last week I sent this meme to a friend, because she also has a cat called Beans: Truly, there was nothing more in it than a casual, “Look, this cat has the same name as yours!” It wasn’t supposed to be a command, nor a premonition of the future. However, the Cat Universe had other…

Part 21. I bet you thought that this sorry saga was in the past, didn’t you? Well, it’s not. Cat Daddy and I bought ourselves some hot-smoked salmon as a New Year treat. We took some to a friend’s house and ate it there, so that we could enjoy it in peace without being bullied and…

After showing zero concern for human food for all these years, Louis Catorze has decided that he’s now interested. He doesn’t usually eat any of the food (apart from that one fateful time which had huge repercussions for months afterwards); he just licks it and walks away. However, this makes it more annoying because then…

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? *WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PETS TO SEE THIS POST.* When Louis Catorze was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism I was determined to be strict with his diet, allowing zero human food, in order to aid his recovery. However, now that he is chubbing up…

Based on true events A story by Louis Catorze’s human cousin Azalea, aged 7 One day, a cow-cat called Roux had an idea, an amazing idea indeed. But first she had a sad sleep in a lonely box, waiting for her cubs to come back. She slept through the night, and when she awoke: “THUD!” Waiting…

*It’s Partie 2 because this is the second time I’ve used this title. It’s clearly not the second time Louis Catorze has ever screamed. This is the face – and voice – of someone who has ignored me since I returned home after being out all morning, but who wants to be my friend now…

If you’ve ever had to change the food of a fussy cat, don’t follow the usual advice, which is to phase it in gradually. If it’s mixed with something that they already like, of COURSE they’ll eat it, in the same way that I’d probably eat razor blades and asbestos if they were covered in…

Normally, at this point in the year, I would be ordering one portion of jambon de Bayonne from Ocado for Louis Catorze’s birthday, another from the Natoora deli in Chiswick as a back-up, and some jamón ibérico from Waitrose, just in case. However, because the little sod has just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, it’s a…

Louis Catorze’s thyroid test result – the additional £67 one which was conducted a little after the others – is in, and it turns out that he has hyperthyroidism. Cat Daddy suggested some time ago that the constant screaming might be anxiety, and I said, “Of course it’s not. He has no reason to be…

When I told Cat Daddy that Louis Catorze didn’t eat his premium fish sautéd in goat’s butter, I thought he would be absolutely livid, with the Unrepeatable Expletives flowing like a burst dam. However, instead he said, “Did you season it?” Sorry? So this is MY FAULT for creating a bland meal for our cat?…

What is your favourite restaurant? Louis Catorze favours any establishment which will allow patrons to send back their food limitless times, without explanation. Right now, that establishment is us. Although … can a place even call themselves a restaurant when the one and only customer refuses to actually EAT? Having watched Catorze attempt to eat…

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…

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…

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…
