This woman called a cat unprintable names. Now everybody wants to adopt him. (Aussie Cat Rescue)

“Mr. Biggles (also known as Lord Bigglesworth) is an utter utter utter bastard,” Brett wrote. “Mr. Biggles is a despot and dictator, he will let you know he is not happy, which is often because things are often just not up to his high standards.”

She went on: “Mr. Biggles likes his cuddles on his terms, and will sit in your lap when he decides it’s time. If the stroking is not up to his standards, he will nip you.”

This can be summed up with a simple "Mr. Biggles is a cat".

This reminds me of the series of cat litter commercials with Katherine Heigl as a pet psychologist: "He would like you to pet him now. But just for three seconds or he'll scratch the crap out of you."

I'm thinking that Mr. Biggles' behavior might become more socially acceptable if he were neutered (assuming he hasn't been neutered already).

Could be some prejudice against BLACK cats motivating this Australian lady's critique of him. I never understood the logic behind the fear of black cats.

I guess “bastard” is unprintable these days in some quarters,

Not in Australian. It's the usual term used to refer to or address another person.

Tap them on the nose.

One finger only and firm enough to get their attention.

Someone else mentioned that but thank you. It’s always good to get the same idea from different sources. Shows that it’s more likely to work.
