Saturday, July 4, 2009 Heathcliff Analyzed

Not sure whether he should call a veterinarian or a proctologist, Mr Nutmeg decides to photograph the problem.

I have recently learned that Heathcliff's owners are called the Nutmeg Family. I had been calling them the Nutcase Family, so I wasn't far off.

As for today's Heathcliff: At first glance it appears that Heathcliff is defying gravity by performing an impossible balancing act on Mrs Nutmeg's head. However, upon closer inspection, the cat's tail is clearly seen emerging from behind the old woman's head. This can only mean one thing: That Mrs Nutmeg has her head stuck up Heathcliff's ass.

Note the look on Heathcliff's face. He is clearly enjoying this. Mrs Nutmeg, on the other hand, does not appear to be deriving pleasure from the situation, but then again, she doesn't appear to be objecting to it either. With an expression of indifference on her mouth (the only part of her face still visible), she is standing with her hands in her pockets, in tranquil tolerance. Perhaps the old woman placed the cat there herself to hide a bad hair day. In any event, her demeanor indicates that this isn't the first time this has happened.

Mr Nutmeg, whose head was abused by Heathcliff in my first post of this blog, is seen photographing this spectacle. This is understandable, as it's not everyday that you come across an old woman with her head stuck up a cat's ass. However, it appears here that Mr Nutmeg is merely taking a family portrait. He is asking for one more, but with less Heathcliff. Understandably, his wife's head up their pet's butt wouldn't look good on Christmas cards, but his words indicate that even though he wants another shot, the one he just took was acceptable.

The most disturbing thing about this is that it's published in newspapers around the world.
