The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
Glad you liked it Dave. Something must have caught her attention a it looked just like she was reading the paper!
I hope you're having a good day. I used to go to Thanksgiving celebrations while my American uncle was still in the UK. Always enjoyable excet I dont ever want to see Succotash again!
I dropped my subscription to the only physical newspaper I once subscribed to, but Stella's cats seem fascinated with newsletters etc. that are printed on newsprint. Maybe it is the smell of the paper or ink. The cats certainly attempt to censor any web news we read, by walking between us and the display... if it's attention they're after, they certainly get it!
I'd never noticed any of the cats actually looking at the paper before. It was the arts pages the not wife was reading at the time.. I have never known Mimi to take much interest in sport. If like me she were to be a West Ham Fan then thre would be little to cheer!
On the other hand cats usually seem to have an infinite capacity to get between you and a paper and to get attention diverted from paper to cat. I think they do it because they can!
Maybe it's the rustling noise of the paper? Sometimes, I stare down rude people that continue to rattle cellophane wrappers, or smack their gum. Perhaps, the noise offended her kitty ears?

Christmas presents debra? Bebe's gifts are always home made so to speak rather than shop bouth,, and usually have tails and little ears!
Of course Bebe likes to look at pussy given that she is pussy herself, Mullets!
It might have or perhaps there was a shape or something on teh page that caught her attention.. Stillit amused me to take the pic ewbl!
err..she is the not wife, this means Bebe is the not cat?
Oh she is every inch a cat. Call her a not cat and I would taste her claws!
I lied! she is a dog. I just glued extra fur onto her!
Who is a dog? The not _ or the not cat?
I am so mean,
The not wine
Since I am still alive it is not the not-wife, Red!
