Proof that Sir Edward Pellew wasn't the only one with an ostentatious taste in ship's cats...



Ship's cat, HMS Kent tweeted by @PompeyDockyard yesterday.

Wow. You know what I notice? This is only a little tiger-- a baby. And it is still knocking him back.

I know! It's just a bouncy little tigger cub! :}

Awww! >^.^<
I wonder how did their rats look like, since they needed such kitty...

♫ ♩ There were rats, rats,
As big as blooming cats,
In the store, in the store.♪

♪♫ There were rats, rats,

My eyes a-are dim
I can-not see
I left my-y specs in the double-you-see
I le-eft my-y specs in the double-you-see!

♪♫ There were kippers, kippers
Wearing tartan slippers
In the store, in the store ♪

There was gravy, gravy,
Enough to float the navy
In the stores, in the stores

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Hehe!

♪♪There were scouts, scouts,
Great big hairy louts
In the stores, in the stores.♩♬

This could go on all night! XD Shall I start toasting marshmallows?

[latin-cat.livejournal.com]

Certainment; there must be toasted marshmallows. :D

There were ants, ants,
Wearing frilly pants
In the stores, in the stores

Okay, you win!

♩♩♬ My eyes a-are dim I can not see

Brilliant. :) But I, um... Well, you'll see it on FS sooner or later. My defence is it seemed like a good idea at the time. *ducks and hides*

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Oi! You! Masthead, NOW!!

[latin-cat.livejournal.com]

Meep! Yes, ma'am! *scrambles up*

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Okay, you can come down now. But let that be a lesson to you!

[latin-cat.livejournal.com]

Awww, poody-tat! :D

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

I tawt I taw a puddy-tat a queeping up on me. I'm sure I saw a puddy-tat, as sure as sure can be!

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

It might just be my eyesight but where is the poor kitty's face!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

I think you'll find it's in the sailor's oxter.

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Teeth in the armpit, (oxter??) is one thing, but I think our sailor is more concerned by the tiger's foot!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Teeth in the armpit, (oxter??)
Yes, oxter is a Scots word for armpit derived form the Old English. It's a great word :)

I think our sailor is more concerned by the tiger's foot!
YIkes! Paws off kitty!

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is a great word.

I think that is a very kindly and cheerful sailor. He is obviously an animal lover.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is a great word.
Have fun with your new word :D

He is obviously an animal lover.
Reminds me a bit of the elderly George Cadogan and his cat!

[mylodon.livejournal.com]

Cor. I don't envy him the task of cleaning out the litter box!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

That job is reserved as special punishment for misbehaving middies!
