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.

Tidy this sofa, slovenly scum
Boris is not pleased at the amount of stuff I leave on the sofa as it impedes some quality stretching

Do you do requests? I'd like to see all your cats together (or be directed to the relevant url if that's been done already). But I do appreciate that getting cats to cooperate with sitting round the table together, or lying on the rug, at a catty summit meeting is not an easy task. I suppose you could merge a few images if all else fails. Have you ever done this Jams?
I've not tried Andrew. Robyn and Bebe will curl up together. Boris wil sit on the same sofa if nowhere else is available but Ted will not sit anywhere near the others except to swipe them. I may try splicing but I have never tried that before.
That's true Bryan. It's a shame that Izzy does not live closer then we would be delighted for them to have play dates!
Ah Retching, that;s why we leave inexpensive throws on the sofas.. I should move the crap though, cat puke is a devil to clean off
And re photo splicing or merging, I think if you took separate photos on the same background carpet or sofa at different times, you could then fake them together to create an effective but completely false propaganda picture of domestic harmony. (It's about the only way anybody can get photos of me smiling happily in any human gathering).

He looks like he's still pouting about the restrictions on visiting his "friend".
First I read that as "retching" and thought perhaps you should leave all that stuff on your sofa is Boris is just going to vomit on it otherwise!!
Clearly I need more caffeine this morning...

Ah. Ted sounds quite like me.

Mine used* to throw things down when bothered by stuff.
(*) This week our Big One passed away. 19 years with us and about twelve lives well spent. No more cats for me, I guess.
Somehow I don't think you are black and white and sans nuts Andrew!
I\ll give it a try sometime Andrew Otherwise I will put up the four mugshots for your delight and delectation...
Ah that is what Ted does all the time!
I'm sorry to hear about the Big One. It was a good age though. I hope you reconsider not having more cats thouh Snooy
Yes, I second Andrew - I'd like to see them all together.
I'll have a try James
