Cat Art
Posted by: throbnorth on 13 March 2004
This actually happened a while back, but as I wasn't confident in posting pix have refrained from sharing until now.
Picture the early morning scene at casa throb - I go and get my breakfast [2 Weetabix with a banana, since you ask] and repair to the living room to drink in GMTV for about 15mins, & marvel at Lorraine's top. I come back into the kitchen to find this.
Forget crop circles, Mother Thereasa in a bagel etc. - a chill shiver passes down my spine, and I actually stereotypically rub my eyes in the international gesture of astonishment.
The cat [Mouse - weak joke, so weak you don't need to ask] has pulled socks off the clothes horse [leg on right side of pic] and arranged them round his bowl. Note the way he has carefully pushed them so that they actually form a sort of nest. This is not, I think, random feline fiddling. It's just creepy and WRONG.
Feeling a South Bank Special, Turner nomination, appearance on Graham and possibly a coffee table book in the offing, subsequently I left a tempting array of more vibrant socks, gaudy pieces of fabric etc on the bottom of the clothes horse should inspiration strike, but to no avail. This is the only occurance of BritCat art I have been able to capture.
A couple of weeks later, he dragged one of my T-shirts into his litter tray, but that's not at all the same thing, and involves Dettol.
What's going on????

I apologise for the flooring - it's vile [haven't got round to it]. I don't apologise for the beer though, - worth trying if you haven't already.

Maybe he is aware that he is a victim of "gay accessorising" and is having a hard time dealing with it, or maybe he is trying to reciprocate. Yeah..that's it.. He loves you so he is trying to be creative in return, even though you humiliate him by dressing him up, taking photos and posting him on the internet. 
It's love. That's what it is. He loves you more than you know.
What's his name?

Cats are infinitely superior to dumb, subservient dogs. I loathe dogs - they're so thick and they always do what they're told. Cats have minds of their own, and also have enough intelligence to bury their own poo - or at least they bury their own poo while on what they perceive to be your territory 
I miss our old cat - she adopted us (she lived across the road) and she lived to 21 - when her liver finally packed up. She was cool though:
The odd thing is that my old housemate's cat looks similar to her:
