Tag: Animals being conspicuously indifferent to cricket

August 30, 2012 England / Regulars

Feline reaction to Andrew Strauss’s retirement from cricket

< 1 minute readIn the highly unlikely event that we’ve picked up a new reader in the last year, we should say that we have a feature on this website entitled animals being conspicuously indifferent to cricket. Lemon Bella’s cats, StraussCat and Meowcus Trescattick, have appeared on several occasions and we’re honoured to

A pigeon being conspicuously indifferent to Rob Key

< 1 minute readThe Dawg writes: I’m all for animals being conspicuously indifferent to cricket, but have you seen who is at the crease? This is taken from a Kent v Surrey T20 game at the Oval. That pigeon should show more respect. If you’ve got a picture of an animal being conspicously

Edwin being conspicuously indifferent to plenty of cricket

2 minute readGot this ages ago. Didn’t dare ask what ‘OnZud’ meant in case it was something cool that we should have known. However, we also don’t want people to think we haven’t done our editing properly, so we’re having to draw attention to our ignorance in this opening paragraph anyway. Jayne

Spike conspicuously obstructing the view of the cricket

< 1 minute readWill writes: “This was my cat Spike’s response to my entire attention being focused on the cricket last night.” For the sake of clarify, we should point out that ‘last night’ wasn’t the highlights of Canada v Kenya, it was during the Ashes.

A different Monty being conspicuously indifferent to cricket

< 1 minute readDandy Dan writes: When visiting my friends Simon and Esther in Durham, I couldn’t help notice their cat Monty being conspicuously indifferent to the cricket.

A fox being conspicuously partial to cricket

< 1 minute readD Charlton writes: This fox cub was not indifferent to cricket. In fact, he was the opposite: he was different to cricket. So different, in fact, that he wandered into these nets, got tangled up and trapped. Luckily, the cricket club were able to dig out Sussex CCC’s number, who

Churro being conspicuously indifferent to the status of Wisden

< 1 minute readMiriam writes: 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

Various beasts being conspicuously indifferent to cricket

2 minute readSW writes: Here are the animals of the SW household demonstrating considerable indifference to key moments of the T20 World Cup. First up there is Jasper (aka Fatty McFat). He is technically the neighbour’s cat, but they don’t feed him and call him Nike so he has rejected this emasculating

Harold being conspicuously indifferent to the legacy of Michael Vaughan

< 1 minute readEva writes: “This is my cat Harold. Here he is, nonchalantly enjoying a meal. (Don’t question that. Cats can be nonchalant. No-one’s ever questioned a cat’s ability to display indifference.) “In doing this, he made a choice. He chose to ignore the legacy of Michael Vaughan. “He’s actually almost sitting
