Vic doing the crossword

[vilakins]

I heard Greg in the TV room saying, "All right, you can sit there, but just don't fall off." When I went in, Vic was sitting, not on the keyboard as he often does (to the sound of error beeps; see icon) but on our Apple TV box, looking at the crossword Greg had been doing.


"I've only got one left. 'US comedian bringing vehicle across rough sea'? Hmm, wonder if it's an anagram..."


"Oh look, there goes Claudia, stalking past looking imperious. That cat's name has gone to her head."


"Imperious? Ah, I've got it: Caesar! Damn, I wish I had opposable claws."

Actually, that was the last unsolved clue and I got it straight away, Greg not knowing who Sid Caesar was. :-)

Awww.

I'm sure there's some cat-of-the-day site that would be interested in those photos... 8-)

I don't know one though, just the Daily Kitten (which had a tabby Nico kitten the other day).

"Stuff on my cat"? I guess not, since this is a cat on stuff, rather than stuff on a cat.

Lovely!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He's a very photogenic cat, and always very well dressed.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Awww! Clever cat!!

I wonder whether he knows about online crosswords? No opposable claws required...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

This is probably why he keeps getting on the keyboard.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

He's a lovely boy, and so intelligent.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He's very clever. He didn't know how to purr, play, or do endearing things when we found him as a very shy one-year-old. He learned all those things from watching the girls, including head-butting us like Claudia and rolling over and doing the "I'm adorable" pose like Tessa.

love them :0)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-D

[jecono.livejournal.com]

Aaaw - such a cute and clever guy!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He is! Whenever I feel like I fail at life, Greg tells me I've brought up three lovely cats. ;-)

Here he is in this icon, looking for the crossword in a paper.

What a great set of pics, and I love the captions.

I'm sure if Diesel could have one wish, she'd ask for opposable thumbs. I've seen her trying so hard to pick things up, or hold onto them. It's probably just as well for mankind that she doesn't.

Tessa just bites things and carries them around. "My teeth are opposable enough," she says.

[spacefall.livejournal.com]

Cosy! :D

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He likes sitting on electronics and the woofer.

Awww, Vic is so handsome. I do adore tuxedo cats.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He's a very cute cat!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Dashing and debonair!

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'm going to have to show these to my Dad, he loves crosswords as much as he loves cats!:D

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

And I just have. He loved them. "So, the crosswords in New Zealand are so easy that even a cat can solve them...":D

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes? Would he have figured out Vic's clue?

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

I didn't explain it to him, just showed him the pics as we were busy assembling a bookshelf. But I bet he would've got the clue, he's a crossword champ, one of the best in Finland.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

We both love crossies and do them over lunch in a cafe in the weekends. So nerdy. :-P So we would get on well, esp with Greg being a big Prisoner fan.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Do you have cryptic crosswords in Finland? They're what we prefer doing, but I'm not sure if other languages have them. When I lived in Germany, there were lots of synonym ones.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, cryptos, we get those:). Dad prefers the big difficult ones to cryptos, but fills those in from time to time.

"I'm in ur paper doin' ur crosswords!" :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Purrfect!
