The moment has finally arrived: the big day for our glamour cat! The cast can come off… or should he wait another two weeks? But oh no, Gerard is beaming from ear to ear: it’s off! To make the celebration complete, he also decides to pay a visit to his regular fortune teller, an old acquaintance. She looks deep into his eyes and tells him he needs to rest more often. And what better way to do that than with… a waterfall? Upon arriving home, he is already being awaited by a team of landscapers, ready to give his garden a major makeover. They even take him to a nearby hydrangea grower, where the flowers are almost as flamboyant as Gerard himself. And sure enough, a real waterfall will soon rise right in the middle of the garden. Naturally, it needs to be officially inaugurated, and with a party at that.
