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.

Festive(ish) felines
Mimi astonishes the world by being the only cat that can sit under a Christmas tree and not attack the decorations
Ted's nuts roasting by an open (gas) fire or they would if he still had them, that is...
Bebe and Mimi jostling for the big fellow's attention
Ted looks so snug in front of the heater. We're in the middle of summer (up) here in Australia. It was 36 degress celsius today - thats 97 degrees fahrenheit. I'd like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year as the ...wife and I are touring around the country for a few days.
Oh he is and he will stay there until his fur feels like it's burning! The weather is down to around 5C here now and has started to drop below 0 at night.
I hope you have a good trip with the wife and a great xmas!
I laughed at the description of the first picture. Especially because if I know cats, she was just waiting for you to turn around and turn off the camera before embarking on Operation:Smash Christmas Balls. You may worldly and wise to me but to your cats you're just another human sucker!
Cats and three year olds are about the same. Only the three year old takes them off, runs around the house with them, wears them as earrings, and then rearranges them on the tree--you know, four or five ornaments on a single branch...

Groooaaaaannnn!
Aww Tom. I would be lost without our four little beasts. Have a great xmas.
I know Steve, it's a rotten pun but when do I ever pass up rotten puns!

Not surprisingly you are spot on ewbl! a little while later she had 3 or 4 baubles off the tree!
Oh yes. the girls absolutely adore Robyn and not just as a big furry hot water bottle! As I type Bebe is purring her head off as she grooms him.
Ted really does have it hard, eh? Somehow it's not the puns but the fact that Robyn frustrates his wish to be Alpha cat that makes him evil.
Ah well he will have his day one day I suppose

LOL wlizabeth, the cats just take them off the tree and run around the house batting them! at least cats and 3 year olds both enjoy the season!
