Today’s video is an October-themed lament from our favorite existential cat, Henri Le Chat Noir…
Cynthia is not so patiently waiting for Marcy to figure out her Monday video selection. She wants an Henri video but is too infatuated to pick just one.
Cynthia: C’mon, Marcy. Just pick one.
Marcy: No. It has to be the most perfect one. I don’t want Henri to think I have bad taste.
Cynthia: But you do have bad taste. Anyone who thinks Friskies Salmon Pate is yummy has deranged taste buds.
Marcy ignores Cynthia and watches yet another Henri video.
Cynthia: C’mon!!
Marcy: Okay. This one. It’s about you people and your month-long obsession with Halloween.
Marcy stares longingly at the video.
Cynthia: Why don’t you tell Henri you’re in love with him already? Ask him out on a date or something?
Marcy narrows her eyes and whips her tail.
Cynthia: What?
Marcy haughtily sniffs the air.
Marcy: You humans are so declasse.
Cynthia: Hey! We humans are not the ones who shove our noses up each others butts as a way to communicate.
Marcy: Are you sure about that?
Cynthia thinks for a moment – horrified.
Cynthia (outraged): YES!
Marcy: Would you be speaking figuratively or literally?
Cynthia (flummoxed): What? Stop it! I don’t like this conversation anymore.
Cynthia rushes out of the room.
Marcy happily and peacefully spends the rest of the afternoon watching her faux boyfriend’s existential videos.

Henri’s words express so succinctly the depth of my own Halloween angst. Can he read my mind?
And what cruel human placed those antlers on his soulful head? I wanted to crash through the computer screen, rip them away and spare Henri this unspeakable humiliation.
Marcy, when cats take over the world may I join you?
no. no humans allowed.

DYING.
That video is hilarious!! (Never saw one before.)
“no one ever dresses as crippling self-doubt”
BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!
The ending… oh dear god.
That reminds me, I should probably get on the Halloween costumes for C and Mr. W…
And, sorry, Cynthia, but I’m going to have to agree with Marcy on this one. (Mon dieu!!)
Humans do shove their noses up each others’ butts. Hello, entertainment business…
Ha! That’s my favorite Henri line too! What a succinct way to totally miss the point of halloween. Halloween is about le bon bons and le being out late at night (sorry don’t know that one in french). 🙂
Mmmmmm… le bon bons… mmm…

You MUST go to YouTube and watch ALL of the Henri videos! You will love them all I promise!

Well, what comes to my mind is the old ditty: MARCY AND HENRI, SITTIN’ IN A TREE!
K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!!
LOL – she wishes!

Oh my god. This is bloody brilliant! I am cackling with laughter. The line “no one dresses as crippling self-doubt” made me totally lose it! He’s quite a philosopher isn’t he? I understand why Marcy is so taken with him. He’s quite sophisticated and moody, isn’t he? Thanks for much for sharing this. I’m sharing it with my friends who love Halloween. It’s a hoot!
