    The entire video is hysterical. I like the part where Henri is sitting on the bathroom scale and wondering why he feels nothing yet his caretakers step on it and they become irrate! Another favorite part is when Henri states"I alone feel this torment." And I'll never understand how Mr. Braden captures Henri turning his head at 1:30.

    I followed Henri back when he made his debut. I would watch for new episodes and share them with my daughter. I recently thought about him and didn’t realize it had been that long. Somehow I remembered the name. I see there were additional segments made. I know you must miss him very much. But you have these glimpses of him! I wish I had videos of all my cats! Thank you and Henri for sharing your story and Henri’s ennui.

    Why have I not known of Henri till yesterday?! Compared to everyone else, it seems so late - but as Henri would say, time does not matter. This makes me re-appreciate the French films I used to watch in the 60s, and Sartre and Camus, as well! His "voice" is rich with meaning, the French language only makes it that much better. I love these, have watched all I've been able to since yesterday. Bought the book as well. Henri, vous êtes vraiment genial. Et pas ennuyeux du tout!

    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time,
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.

    Just arrived from exurbia. I haven’t thought about Henri for a long time. Nice to see you again and sorry that you have died
