This is Churro, the kitten we were looking after for a fortnight.
As you can see, he isn’t conspicuously indifferent to cricket, as he is using the Wisdens as a protective wall from humans who try to stop him gnawing at books. He is obviously also ruminating on the lost years 1992-1995.
He is, though, giving Ceiling Cat a run for his money.
Stand back, Ceiling Cat, the Internet has a new overlord now.

He’s only giving Ceiling Cat a run for his money if one is masturbating in front of a collection of Wisdens, which if I was going to do, would not be in front of the editions covering the nineties.

But if you did, you would end up covering the 90s.

A reference to masturbation in a King Cricket post is unacceptable. I come here for cricket, not to feel insecure about my (lack of) sex life.

Short of Wisdens, eh Chowkster?
April 13, 2010 at 2:24 pm
chowsker – quite right. there’s no room for smut round here. keep it clean, people.
ps i can’t believe you haven’t got the 93 and 94 wisdens. as a warwickshire fan, i feel betrayed. thems was the glory years.

@Bert: Er.. yes, yes, exactly. I am more upset about the flaunting of Wisdens. That’s exactly what I meant in the first place.

Wisden is no stranger to full frontal nudity.
See p657 of the 2000 Almanack: Leicestershire’s team photo. Take a close look at MT Brimson. He lost his contract for that…

That cat won’t catch me doing the biz.
I have people to do that for me, thank you!

Oh, I misread it as “the kitten we were looking for for a fortnight”.
Naturally, in that case, you’d have assumed he would be indifferent to cricket, so it wouldn’t have occurred to you to look behind the Wisdens for at least a couple of weeks.

In all this talk about wanking, we’ve forgotten to comment properly on Miriam’s tale of feline insouciance. I think it’s time to put that right, and make some comments that are more relevant to the actual story.
Excellent shelving, Miriam. Well done.
April 14, 2010 at 10:30 am
we need to know how far back the wisdens go.
when was the first one? or is that common knowledge that every self-respecting cricket fan should just know?
April 14, 2010 at 3:49 pm
The earliest wisden I have was a birthday present, and is from the year of my birth.
*insert your own joke about how such an early edition must be very rare*
the shelving is nice, but I would have preferred to paint it the same colour as the walls.
We don’t have that kitten anymore as the fortnight has long since passed. We have a whole new cat of our own, who I am sure will feature in Kingcricket in time.

Wanking over Wisdens. That says it all, really.
April 15, 2010 at 8:49 am
I’m wondering what the alternative to having “a whole new cat” is, and I’m not happy with what I’m thinking.
