  • And there I was berating kittens for being massive shites when I, of all people, ought to know that they don’t get much better when they grow up. I wasn’t able to exercise much last week because of my cold, so I was looking forward to my first walk in ages with my walking friend,…

  • Some say that the Spring Equinox marks the first day of spring. For others, it’s 1st March (Meteorological Spring here in the UK) or even the last Sunday in March, the day that the clocks go forward. Cat people, however, know that spring is here when our furry overlords start spending more time outdoors and…

  • We hope you’ve had a lovely few days. Louis Catorze spent much of Christmas Day asleep, waking only to eat and to thrash around in the discarded wrapping paper. We treated him to some Parma ham fat and, after the first piece, the cheeky sod let out an AUDIBLE SCOWL because I wasn’t quick enough…

  • Some people believe that the vernal equinox denotes the true start of spring. Others think spring starts on 1st March, the first day of meteorological spring. We at Le Château, however, know that it’s when Louis Catorze starts requesting to go out at The Front, and he does this by creepy-staring, pawing at the shutters…

  • Cat Daddy and I recently had friends over for dinner.

  • Have you ever seen one of those 1980s movies where the small-town neighbourhood bad boy is undignifiedly hauled home to his parents by the local sheriff? (I haven’t, but I am sure that it must have happened in some 1980s movie at some time.)  Well, Louis Catorze’s troublemaking-about-town has reached such a level that neighbours…

  • Even though Actual Winter doesn’t start until the winter solstice, the first snowfall of the season means that Psychological Winter has begun. We had delightfully thick, chunky flakes falling yesterday and, whilst the ground was too wet for them to settle for as long as I’d have liked, we have so little snow in London…

  • Louis Catorze is spending more time outdoors now that the weather is warmer. He comes and goes freely at The Back but is also showing more interest in The Front, where he is only allowed under supervision, and these supervised sessions usually look like this: Yes, the little sod has FINALLY realised that there is…
