One of the last pics I posted of Ted before he became ill and died.  We still miss his swearing and grumbling and also his very firm head butting when he was happy too... which surprisingly was most of the time

A happy coincidence

I know that some people may find it a bit odd for people to be so upset over the loss of a cat but that is the nature of the bond between a person and their pets.

There was one post that gave me a smile today over at Bryan's blog Why Now As we found that Ted had died Bryan posted a picture of his new neighbour: a young black and white tuxedo cat called, of all things, TODD!

I hope that Bryan keeps a special eye out for Todd's activity. Perhaps a new evil genius arrives as another dies!

TED AUGUST 1998 - 8 DECEMBER 2012

Shirlcy came downstairs a few minutes ago to find that Ted had passed away.

He did his best to fight the inevitable but clearly he was just too ill to go on.Still he had a happy life and he gave us so much love

It was in September 1998 when a funny looking littlekitten came into out home. He had been found on the streets of Dagenham. Cheeky and noisy fro teh start he became a local character. The local children used to like to play with him and he would happily scrounge food off the neighbours.

He had his down side.He would bully Bebe but she got her own back by stopping him from getting in by blocking the cat flap.

We Thought Robyn would be the next to go but it was not to be.

We had 14 great years with Ted. He gave us so much. We already miss him dearly

Ted in happier days

Ted the sick little boy

Poor sick Ted

Over the last couple of days Ted's been off his food.Yesterday evening he was very listless. Today he seemed rather worse I took him to the vet this afternoon and we found that he has a very swollen liver and a nasty case of jaundice.Basically he not a well pussy cat. I'm taking him back tomorrow when he will be linked up to an iv drip to flush his system. He will have further tests but I fear that the prognosis is not good. I thought that Robyn would e the next cat to die I fear that it may be Ted.

Ted: before he was evil

Ted used to love the clothes horse. Best climbing frame ever, but oh was he a strange looking kitten!

Ted considers changing the channel

Ted is not enjoying the current programme on Tyrant TV. Perhaps Genovision will entertain him more

Ted as evil as ever

Cavafy, Carlin and an evil cat

Photo Hunt and 4000th post

The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is mainly black so here's Lord Horror (aka Ted) again. He is of course considering how much drivel can this blogger spew on this, the occasion of the Poor Mouth's 4,000th.

Even the ghost of the dear departed Mimi is so stunned that I have been able to say absolutely nothing of worth over so many installments that it is back to show its astonishment

Ah well, onwards and downwards (in quality) to post 5,000

Photo Hunt - Silhouette

The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is silhouette. This isn't a silhouette but still a nice and contrasty image of Lord Horror himself (That's Ted to those who don't fear his wrath!)
