Mood: I don’t even know
Weather: drizzly
Word of the day: Cataplexy – condition feigning death used by animals
The police came by to see the cat’s head. They deny it’s murder, since the famous Croydon cat-killer is a case considered solved, and that the killer never existed. ‘Could this be a different cat-killer?’ I asked. ‘No,’ the policeman said firmly. However, we still have a body-less head that looks to have been cut with a knife. I feel like we should do investigating of our own. But where could we even start? I’m sure I had a book about how to be a detective as a kid but I don’t remember any of it now.
Saw Hamoudi in the kitchen. He seemed pretty cheerful, not seeing dead people or receiving gifts from strangers. He was wailing about his lack of vegetables so I offered him a tin of sweetcorn I’ve had sitting in my cupboard for some time. He explained he can’t eat yellow food – not pasta, yellow peppers, nor chips, and not sweetcorn. When I asked why he said yellow food always caught in his throat. He demonstrated with choking retching sounds. I’m starting to suspect he might be a little bit of a drama llama.
You certainly have some interesting flatmates.

Cataplexy – now there’s an interesting one. Must be root links to catalepsy, catatonic and, maybe even, catastrophe? Must check my BIG dictionary. Worried about police apathy towards dead cat. Still, with only two coppers and a bike to cover Greater London they must be a little strapped. Hamoudi has problems. Come to my blog for a silent scream.

If it’s a dead cat…it’ll bounce.
