You were just misreading the look Hermit. What your brave, unselfish (going outside in that weather to pee - so noble!) pussycat was really trying to convey was an appealing neediness and a deep appreciation of all you do for her...I'm sure of it...I've consulted Marmers and he agrees.

Selective deafness - a common affliction among cats and dogs. Happy New Year, Hermit.

Getoffthe won't go out in the lashing rain, unless it's ( what's the dog equivalent of touching cloth? ) hanging oot her you know what...

Selective deafness - a common affliction among cats and dogs .... and husbands!

You can always rely on Tws to go the extra inch...

Just for you, hermit: Wuthering: 1. blowing strongly: describes a wind that blows strongly and makes a loud roaring sound 2. having blustery winds: subject to persistent blustery or noisy winds. I don't need to imagine the wind getting in a cat-flap ... I can re-live it every night ...! and can you train the little felines to only go out twice a day, so you can close the connecting door for the rest of the time ...? Can you, bu&&ery ...! The best was when snow blew in one christmas - by the time I'd got up, there was literally a two-foot high snowdrift on the cat-room vinyl, from behind which my cats peered at me wonderingly ...!

The only reference to Wind and Wuthering I know of is the great Genesis (as in rock band ) vinyl LP or The novel Wuthering Heights. But I think it describes the weather at the mo

Nope. Comments are still going missing. Will try again, like the Bruce's spider. I just wanted to thank Tws for going the extra inch to bring us a more graphic picture than most...

I've emailed Carol@IBHQ about lost comments - this morning I can see at least three blogs where none has appeared, so, rather than wait more in sorrow than in hope, will try again. I have now tried to thank Tws TWICE for trying so hard to bring iBloggers to a new level of enlightenment, and for searing my wee pusscatly brain with an image it would rather forget...but CAN'T! Dear Hermit, how could you mistake that look of pathetic terror on your poor cat's face for 'other glare'. Honestly, some humans...*grumble gurrrr*

It's a dog eat cat world out there (hopefully) ... # Islanders' life seems to revolve around the many ways they can complain about a wee breeze. Where is that Viking spirit, Hermit? Why did you not spear it (a modest sacrifice to the weather Gods, or some such), and then roast it over the open fire (my French friends drool over the taste of le chat)? A little ketchup goes a long way ...

mjc, noooo..I will eat many things, but not cat! all that hair....all those bones...yuck... FC, honestly trust me, they have got me well trained and it IS an evil glare they send me..for I think they reckon I`m no` fully trained enough yet, til I can magically bring them indoors instantly they appear..made the mistake of seeing what would happen if I just left them there one day....me windaes still hae the claw marks on it.... Soaplady thanks for that! At last an English word that does a decent job o` describing something well...(ducks the thrown tomatoes from all the angry Sassenachs noo)
Hermit from Feeling kinda green...
English is a wondrous and varied language in all its forms. I particularly like it where it exists on foreign soil and metamorphoses into something vibrant and entertaining. I am so so glad you do not eat cats hermit - may your shadow never grow less and yer lum reek for ever! (The slur on all felines from NM I will treat with dignified silence as deserved *sniff*)

There, there, Soaplady and Hermit, now we know Hermit lives on the Wuthering Heights of Sanday. Yonder she stands, bearing the bronte of it!! ("Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned mightily ...")
