What is one word that describes you? Louis Catorze has been fine since that Sunday night when he did a somersault, landed on his head and almost knocked himself out. So the one word that best describes him, right now, is lucky. Although Cat Daddy says that he can think of a few others. Catorze…

I know that I must be getting old, because I love going to bed. We are conditioned to fear the dark and the creatures that lurk within its depths but, as soon as the eerie blue twilight period descends upon us, I start to feel cosy and cocooned. (Plus I know that the creature of…

Apart from the snow – which was only the lightest dusting, and it didn’t last – my one wish for 2026 was for Louis Catorze to stop escaping out at The Front every night. I wanted it so much that even lit a candle and whispered my wish to the spirits of the Wolf Moon…

Bastard cats. If it’s not yours being a massive shite, it’s someone else’s. There’s absolutely no respite from it. Blue the Smoke Bengal went missing the other day. He went out in the morning and then didn’t come home, which is unusual for him. His mamma was, understandably, very concerned, especially as calling, shaking his…

Despite not really minding fireworks all these years – in fact, he once moved up the stairs to get a better view through the hallway window – Louis Catorze took exception to the ones that he heard on 5th November. These days, our social media feeds fill up with firework precautionary advice from as early…

It’s a horror film trope as old as time: a raging storm on Hallowe’en night, when any right-minded, God-fearing creature would be safely tucked up at home, with the doors locked. This means, of course, that going outside on such a night would be reserved for the following individuals: Can you see where I’m going…

At the start of this week, I visited Family Next Door to give them their “Thank you for chat-sitting” gifts. They reported that Louis Catorze had been so screamy during our weekend away that they almost called us to ask if it were normal. (Of course it’s not. Nothing about life with him is normal.…

Cat Daddy and I went to visit my sister at the weekend, in an effort to escape feline bullshittery. We failed in our mission. Mesdames et Messieurs, it may well be deep autumn here in the UK, but nobody appears to have told Roux this. The little sod is still merrily hunting, as she did…

One of the things that I dislike about Catorzian Summer Time is that we see much less of Louis Catorze. One of the best parts of my morning routine was drinking green tea with Catorze on my lap. However, in the summer, I only ever see him briefly for breakfast and then he’s out. Sometimes…

Louis Catorze’s summer mode has been activated. Well, it’s been Catorzian Summer Time for a little while now, to be honest; it hasn’t just happened now, in time for the summer solstice. But he has just stopped eating breakfast, a classic sign that his body clock has changed. This is partly because he’s naturally unhungry…

What an absolute cirque de merde of a weekend we have just had. Cat Daddy had booked our car for an MOT at a service centre some distance from where we live now, yet not far from the first house that he and I shared together years ago. So our plan was to leave the…

What jobs have you had? Louis Catorze would never knowingly work for a living. However, over the years, he has held the following posts at Le Château: Catorze continues to perform roles 1 to 4 on a regular basis. However, the fate of role 5 is in question as he hasn’t caught anything for some…

When it’s 21°C outside and you’re a black animal covered in fur, you might feel like cooling down. Even if you’re a Sun King. Catorze sought out this thin strip of shade, about 15cm wide/long (depending on whether you’re a portrait or a landscape kind of person), underneath our outdoor table. He did his best…

Merde, merde and thrice merde. You are not going to believe this. The VERY DAY that I posted about Rodan going out scrapping and injuring his face, Louis Catorze decided to go out to the Zone Libre looking normal (well, “normal” by his standards, anyway) and return home looking like this: This wasn’t caused by…
