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.
Mimi doing her best opposum impersonation. Or maybe, you're teaching an old cat new tricks, and she's learning to roll over, sit up, jump through flaming hula hoops, and fetch you breakfast in bed. My favorite one is the video series to teach your cats how to use the toilet.
Teaching a cat trick? I told Mimi and she laughed that the idea that she would listen to anything we humans say! Throw a stick and a dog will run and fetch it. A cat would look at you and with an expression you threw it, you bloody fetch it yourself"
A video series to teach your cat to use the toilet. I would love to see how that would work!!
A friend of a friend had such a cat. She tortured a bit the cat. The cat deserved it, but I wouldn;t train my cat, no way. Anyway she wouldn't listen. She trained me. I know how to use the toilet.
Here's one kitty potty training publication. Personally, I'm just amused at seeing cats take a squat on the pot. Think of the money saved on kitty litter! Think of having someone else to blame for your poor aim! Think of how that furry cat butt will warm up the toilet seat on a cold winters night! Oh, the possibilities are dizzying!
And now just for fun, a row of exclamation points for no reason! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed ewbl. this looks good. but alas for poor, disabled Mimi there is nom way she could get up on the lav. THe others happily piss and poop outdoors whatever the weather.
Mimi looks possessed. Perhaps she's trying out for a part in a horror flick. She has "that look" ... and the slightly open mouth is the finishing touch.
Like redwine, I'm toilet trained, but I'm not sure I want to share my potty with a kitty!
Stella has found the CleverCat brand cat box to be very satisfactory. It is enclosed; there's a hole in the top for entry and exit, and some ribbing on the top to remove at least some particles of litter from the cat's feet on exit. The cats? they seem to love it; they took to it right away. And it almost eliminates the kitty litter all over the floor.
"THe others happily piss and poop outdoors whatever the weather." - if HAPPILY, that must be inside the house. And why would be Mimi poor, as long as she has servants under her? She seems such a happy little bat, she has very different priorities. Anyway, cats should be banned and sent to Siberia, tio the cat Gulag. Period. And yes, Steve, Mimi has 'that look', Jam's heart melts on the South Pole whenever a cat has that....Anyway, I had a very original cat, (Miss csili's mother) she pooped in my brand new and very expensive leather purse. So much about the happiness of cats. Cat-law number one, poop in an expensive object, and watch those inferior humans with THAT look. To Siberia with them!
She could be the Creature of the Black Latrine, Steve! Mimi needs to be able to get in and out easily, her Cerebellar Hypoplasia means she cant jump and she has very poor balance We put newspapers under the box to catch the anything that is flicked out. ah well
It is heartening to know that Csili and her mother knew to treat you as a cat should!! But sending them to Sivveria? they have fut coats nad would certainly find the wamest spots in the gulag in seconds... The would rule Siberia!
Steve, it wasn't, unfortunately. The same cat (she was a bit senile to put it gently, but she was over 20) also pissed on the Christmas cake. baked for hours, with chocolate and walnuts, etc. She had an excellent taste in finding expensive stuff to poop and pee on.

She looks like a bat. I hate cats. They deserve my hatred.
Hmm I get the feeling that Madame Csili is treating you badly again! What evil has she committed now?

Torturing a cat? I woud imagine that would not work with a cat. As for us. Did she use harsh methods to train you red?

It would seem that Mimi has her own way of looking a the world. It is better upside down at times.

It certainly is Beezer even for us humans!

Ah she is quite capable of stuffing herself!
she pooped in my brand new and very expensive leather purse - redwine
redwine, are you sure that wasn't social commentary? :)
No way Mullets.. I would be out the dor beefore Mimi!
LOL steve it was probably commentary on the service. Red must have had a five minute breather and incurred kitty's wrath!
