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.

Why have you put that silly doll beside me?
Bebe is not impressed by the Kenneth Williams (a la Carry on Casear) talking doll
And what, pray tell, is the purpose of such a toy, human?
Julius Caesar? When I first saw it, I expected the doll to sing "If you want to know who we are" from The Mikado. But the "infamy" quote will do just fine.
Bebe has a right to be perplexed. :) Great picture, though.
She has a wonderful set of expressions to show her disdain for humanity Steve... except when it's meal time of course! Actualy she does not like the camera at all so it's hard to get a good shot of her.
That't true Snoopy. ed is an inveterate thrower of items he does not care for!
Okay Liz, I'll give it a try. I got it half price in a model shop. Perhaps there are far beter things to spend £15 on but it amuses both myself and the not-wife!
I keep threatening to buy my cats a singing, dancing Santa. Trouble is, I wouldn't be seen dead buying one. Bebe has a wonderfully expressive face - I dread to think what cats really think of us!
That's true Bryan, there myust always be olace for art,even if it impinges on sunlight. Carry on CLeo was funny. Carry on up the Khyber was the funniest of the series
I wonder that too. probably:
I'm hungry, lets cont some grub out of that ugly human
I'll plaster on the fake smile and make her think I love her
Tickle my purr tum anfain and I'll purr piss on your pur pillows!

What IS the purpose of it?? LOL.
ReplyDeleteAs an amusement! The doll is of Kenneth Williams as Julius Casear in teh silly comedy film Carry on Cleo. It has the wonderful quote.
ReplyDeleteInfamy, infamy, infamy... They've all got in in for me!

To me this post means you have a very well-behaved cat. Mine will throw down everything they do not like, including laptops. Ehehe...

Can you film it on your phone - if you have one of these ingenious phones? and put it on your blog? I would love to hear him.

ReplyDeleteShe has a wonderfully expressive face, but she really should lighten up. Cary On Cleo is a classic silly flick, not some one off skit.
ReplyDeleteI do admit that the doll is taking up valuable "window sill in the sunshine" space, but sacrifices need to be made for art, no matter how campy.

Bebe is an obviously articulate cat.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeedBeakerkin! What's more she never speaks in Lolcat!
ReplyDeleteI'm a secret lolcat addict, jams. Have you seen the one that combines lolcat with post secret? It's pretty amusing.
ReplyDeletelolsecretz
