What's the thing by the bare foot? I can't make it out

foreverblessedbee · 12/03/2019 04:35

Because some of the picture is black and white and some is in colour. Maybe it's not "life not all black and white " but simply " it's not all black and white".

I think the head one is "he's got a screw loose."

Smotheroffive · 12/03/2019 05:02

Nah...he clearly has a nail on the head Grin

MerryMarigold · 12/03/2019 05:05

Bit sure about the knots coming out of the armpit. Could be tied in knots...but I think it's something else which I can't think of.

MerryMarigold · 12/03/2019 05:05

It's definitely a screw. You can see the thread!

  2. Screwing with my head
Smotheroffive · 12/03/2019 05:08

I thought that about the knots. I've put tied in knots, but its attached to the arm sleeve.

I can't see any screw thread from my device
Also can't see what the thing behind the foot is...

Smotheroffive · 12/03/2019 05:09

What's pins and needles?

brizzlemint · 12/03/2019 05:11

By his bare foot

brizzlemint · 12/03/2019 05:12

I can see the screw thread now I've put my glasses on!

Smotheroffive · 12/03/2019 05:15

The joker in the pack

Smotheroffive · 12/03/2019 05:17

Yes, me too have just enlarged the pic.

That's pins and needles? I can't see that.

I thought it was a mosquito or something with a sting in its tail

The way of pinching the tip of the cats tail?

Smotheroffive · 12/03/2019 05:23

Tongue tied

As the tongue is tied into the leg of the cat
