Animals being conspicuously indifferent about cricket

We've taken a picture of our cat, Monty, being indifferent about cricket. He's actually SITTING on the cricket page of the paper. How does he expect to find out about Alastair Cook's hundred by doing that?




Look at him. Look at how conspicuously indifferent he is about cricket.

We'd say something like, 'the balls of that cat', if it weren't in very poor taste due to our being essentially responsible for their removal.

We're hoping that this is the first of a segment of King Cricket we're going to call: 'Animals Being Conspicuously Indifferent About Cricket'.

In our head we'll be inundated by photographs from readers. In reality, Monty's going to be a busy cat. Busy being indifferent, which is very much his default emotion.
