I’ve started watching a souped-up version of my usual paranormal investigation shows, called The Demon Files. The lead investigator, Ralph Sarchie, is a straight-talking ex-NYPD detective. I’m a bit scared of him, and I definitely wouldn’t want to be interviewed by him (especially if I were guilty), but his no-nonsense approach makes for quite compelling…

If Louis Catorze weren’t French, I am certain that he would be Japanese. This is not only because his alien eyes are straight out of a Manga storybook, but also because the Japanese love cats: dressing up as them, having street festivals dedicated to them, the whole works. Most of us who claim to love…

The wait is over and the big night is here. No, not Botanical Week on the Great British Bake-Off (although I am curious, since nobody understands what it means). I mean Hallowe’en, of course. We are a little nervous as we don’t know how we will contain Louis Catorze, given that we will be opening…

So … cats and séances. You probably won’t like the idea of your sweet little kitty communing with evil spirits, but they’re all at it. It’s not just the black vampire cats, although blackness and vampirism do somewhat increase the chances of evil doings. (Don’t ask me how I know this.) If cats are in…

What skill would you like to learn? I have recently joined a Smart phone photography social media group. People post their original shots versus the edited versions, and everyone compares the two and tells them whether they’ve gone a bit overboard or got the balance right. People mainly post landscapes and human portraits in the…

What is your favourite special occasion? Why is it your favourite? Since we share a house with a black cat with vampire teeth, it’s practically compulsory to love Hallowe’en. And Hallowe’en isn’t a day: it’s a season. And that season started on 1st October (with pre-season having taken place throughout the whole of September). We…

Anyone who thought Louis Catorze was a complete maniac anyway should see what he’s like when there are high winds. And when I say “should”, what I mean is “really shouldn’t”. He can be an absolute hell-beast on a windy night, bouncing all over the bed, screaming, whining and thundering around the house. However, on…

Whilst most normal cats are opting for indoors as the temperatures drop, Louis Catorze has been doing the opposite. This will, of course, be of no surprise to anyone. He has been spending more time outdoors than he ever did in the height of summer, even/especially when it’s raining. In fact, we have barely seen…

Hallowe’en is over for another year, which makes me a little sad, although living all year round with a black vampire kitty means that every day is Hallowe’en here at Le Château. And, yes, we succeeded in keeping Louis Catorze under lockdown on the night of the 31st, with the little sod only managing to…

One of my cat-loving friends has just got a DOG. If you are following Le Blog it’s likely that you are a cat person, so you will understand what an apocalyptically big deal it is for someone to leave our ranks and defect to the Dark Side. That said, given that dogs are loyal and…

If you have a black cat, creating their official Halloween portrait is easy: you just place a pumpkin next to them, take a photo and that’s it, non? Not so with Louis Catorze. Firstly, he’s not the most photogenic of cats. And, secondly, he doesn’t do as he’s told. The über-cool factor of a black…

It’s a full moon tonight, which means more idiocy from the feline population of the planet. And, because we’re approaching Halloween, black cats, in particular, will be more idiotic than ever. I got chatting yesterday afternoon to Bert the dog’s mamma, as we were putting out the recycling at The Front. Now, Louis Catorze’s interactions…

Thanks to our lovely new friend from Mexico, Louis Catorze now has a visitors’ book. Cat Daddy: “Visitors’ book? Not even we have a visitors’ book!” Me: “Yeah, but, to have a visitors’ book, you need visitors. Who’s coming to see us in the next couple of weeks?” [Silence, tumbleweed, crickets] The magnificent book is…
