What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? Louis Catorze’s cat-cousin Rodan probably doesn’t want to go to the vet again, for obvious reasons. But, if he keeps up with his silly behaviour, that is exactly where he will end up. Rodan was doing quite well in his recovery, after going…

I’m in hospital at the moment, having just had intense but standard (and planned) surgery. However, because they had to switch last-minute from The Simple Version to The Complicated Version of this particular procedure, I’m here for an extra night. Cat Daddy has been in to visit me. However, Louis Catorze hasn’t even noticed that…

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…

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…

The last time I had surgery, I woke from my anaesthetic and announced to the ward, “I’ve just been dreaming about ginger cats! Must’ve been Alfie and George!” (Obviously Alfie and George are actual ginger cats that exist. Which is a relief, because made-up ginger cats might have made me look silly.) No such morphine-induced…

Next week I am due to have surgery on my shoulder, which should hopefully spell the end of a long line of problems. It’s a day procedure, so I won’t need to worry about Louis Catorze causing havoc in my absence (no more than usual, anyway) as I’ll be back that evening, but I am…

Another day, another darned mouse, this time delivered to our bedroom, undead and twitching. But, fortunately for me, by the time I had gone to fetch a plastic bag and come back again, Le Bon Dieu had had the grace to take its poor soul to mouse heaven. Because we had to dash straight out…

Cat Daddy and I drove past the vet surgery today. We both remarked on how strange it was to pass it and not stop by, given that, not so long ago, we were there so often that we’d thought about taking Louis Catorze and our sleeping bags and just living there. Then Cat Daddy said,…

It’s been just over a week since my surgery, and what a week it’s been. We’ve had some British Wimbledon wins, a French football failure, and Louis Catorze is still fiercely waging his campaign of apathy towards me. He’s not unhappy, nor is he descending into his allergic state (quite the opposite, in fact: it’s…

On Tuesday I’m going into hospital for a (common and minor) operation, and my first thought on the matter was, “Will Louis Catorze be ok?” I briefly toyed with the idea of smuggling him in with me in my wash bag – yes, he is small enough – but then had terrifying visions of him…
