To think this is a hideous card?

[Slightlyannoyed]

Its from DH to me.

I thought he may have been waylaid doing something heroic, lifesaving, important for the future of humanity or saving the world. A three day late insipid looking card with a hip saying from the 1920’s. I’m afraid I would be underwhelmed - I have no poker face - he would be aware of my feelings too. Happy belated Birthday wishes OP.

Happy Birthday Happy Birthday

The 3 days late is the problem not the card

Happy belated birthday. I should confess when I looked at that card I could hear Phoebe from friends singing Dead Cat, but I've got a weird sense of humour.

There are so many beautiful cards out there and he got you that?

I love cats, but even I would be at that card.

A cat on it's back and showing you it's belly is a sign of absolute trust.

Give the cat a speech bubble saying 'Argh I'm taken too soon, pray for meeeeeee - OW!'

A falling cat, about to land on its feet.

Maybe the implication is that he's the falling cat, you're 'the cat's miaow' that keeps it alive and upright.

Or just a poorly thought-through variation on 'dog's bollocks'?

I like it. Yabu. I dont even get a card from mine!

It’s the three days late that stands out more than the pink dead cat. Not sure they’re tattoos. I think it’s where he’s been stitched up after post-mortem I think.

I like it. How much I like it depends on if it's a nice expensive, stiff one or a nasty, cheap, floppy one.

Cards are awful anyway. A waste. Tell him not to bother next year and don't get hung up on the design of something you're going to bin anyway.

It's quite rubbish really

Is it a dead pig?
Oh wait, it's a cat. And you're the meow? Meow's are annoying sometimes.

For my cat it’s a trick. You touch his belly and he attacks you with all four claws and teeth. Don’t produce cute furry bellies to me then kick off whne I rub them! Daft creature

By the look of things the words should be:

................. . . . last
You're the cat's ^ meow.

It’s fine

You get each other Christmas cards?!

I think it's a combination of the drab background, the badly drawn cat and the badly placed writing. Is it hand made?

I see a compliment in the sentiment. And a cat looking to have it's tummy tickled. I like the sentiment, not the image. It's not a card I'd send but it's not hideous. I wonder who buys all those "To my darling Wife" cards because my DH doesn't. Not sure when he was last in a card shop, maybe about 5 years ago.

Crikey...cannot believe you have gone to the effort of posting this !! Be thankful you have a husband who has bothered to take the time to choose it ,assuming you are a cat lover. Nothing wrong with the card or the sentiment behind it !!

@TheDarkPassenger

Mine allows about 10 seconds of tummy rubs - just enough to lull you into a false sense of security. She's the same with pets - purrs, rubs against your hand, eyes closed then randomly changes and tried to bite you - not hard though.

I thought it was an early Christmas card at first and then it turns out it's a belated birthday card. So yeah, that colours my view a bit.
The sentiment behind it is nice. I don't like it - it's not to my taste. Don't like the colours. Don't like the pearl things on it. Don't like the fact it looks like a tattooed pig with a tail rather than a cute cat. But I have had similar cards like this before from one aunty in particular and from a couple of cousins who have completely different artistic tastes to me - I still appreciate it though.

However, it's a birthday card and it's 3 days late - so that does spoil things a bit. Even if the card was to your taste and the most beautiful card ever I think the fact that your DH couldn't get it to you on time would mean you'd still be disappointed.

Just your bog standard 30p card

Where do you get 30p cards from?

Cute pic and sweet message (basically, you're the best!). What on earth is wrong with it? The cat doesn't look dead - that's how my cat lies when she wants her tummy stroked (which is most of the time! first cat I've ever had who lets you do this!).
But 3 days late is highly annoying.
