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.
What a fetching fellow. I just want to stretch out my arms and cuddle him. He bring out my strong desire to strong a beautiful feline critter on his head and cheeks and behind his ears and under his chin - some cats are just pettable by nature, Ted is one of them!
My Sam the Wonder Cat is considered evil by many - yet with me he is a contented snuggle bunny, purring the moment I get home from work and climbing on my lap for his evening's dose of affection.
Just don't frighten or upset his Main Person - and he'll be tolerant of your presence. Welcoming is way too much to ask. His life is just the way he want it. Me, the screened in porch, the tuxedo lady cat who comes to visit him and chat, me, ample food and water, sleeping curled up in my arms all night long - that's the life Sam has designed for himself.
Ted is a funny one Gayle. He can turn in a second from super friendly to hising clawing monster. SStill with the local kids and strangers he's a sweetie
"fifty foot"? Is that their height or do they have fifty feet? I need to ask because anything at all seems possible when you start messing about with DNA (apart from the Teds being nice, of course, that will be impossible according to the very laws of Nature).
This week's entry for the Friday Ark and Carnival of the Cats.
Wow! that is such a fantastic photo!
ReplyDeleteThere's the lad, in all his evil, tuxedo glory, looking for his next victim.
ReplyDeleteYour cat will get a modeling contract.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cherie!
ReplyDeleteOh he is Bryan. No I expect you to die Mr Bond!
I'm no sure what Ted could model... perhaps he could be the poster boy for Madmentalmoggies.com!
Ted for Taoiseach!
ReplyDeleteAh Sean Ireland would thrive under the brutal paw and bloody claws of General Ted!
ReplyDeleteTed may be a tyrant, but he's a magnificent-looking tyrant!
ReplyDeleteOh that he is Steve!
ReplyDeleteYour Ted look at bit 'evil' too Jams! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is for sure a cat with attitude!
I like this shot of him :)
He definitely has attitude to spare Anna. Pity it's all bad attitude!
ReplyDeleteYou made him look like a minor Godzilla in this one ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like Ted!
ReplyDeleteHa Znoopy, Godzilla would be a light snack to Ted.
ReplyDeleteHe is a handsome fellow LB
A very superior cat!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly thinks so Liz!
ReplyDeleteTed Rocks
ReplyDeleteOh he does Beakerkin!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking cat and good photo too :-)
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is a handsome devil, Sallu (if a bit unhinged)
ReplyDeleteTED!!! Evil as ever, I see.
ReplyDeleteGOOD!
He certainly is EWBL!

ReplyDeleteTed is sort of a Kitler, in negative...

What a great shot of the Handsome One!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE TED!
ReplyDeleteBloody Hell! (again). That is a cat with serious attitude. My sympathy for Brave Boris grows.
ReplyDeleteA million times more scary than I first thought now (evening of 7 August 2011, Day of Release of the Clones)
ReplyDeleteHis Infernal Monsterosity looks terrible does he not Andrew!
ReplyDeleteWith this cloning business... are you aware the tiniest slip may generate Teds that grow to 20 foot high?
ReplyDeleteToo late Andrew, fifty foot Teds are now rampaging through Weston Super Mare

ReplyDeleteBe fearful Andrew for the fifty foot Teds have fifty feet. Worse still I have removed his sunny disposition
