Two words:
Feline gulag. Run kitty, run!!!
Yep, he should look to the land of the free to learn about prison population. Oh! wait, oops.
That kitten could get some polonium in its milk: kitteh, do not drink any tea with Russians you were friends with before!!
Hahaha!!
That is by far and away the funniest polonium poisoning joke I’ve ever heard.
He actually seems to know some cat moves, and recognized when the cat wanted to get away from him.
If only his diplomatic skills showed such finesse and compassion….

Well, he tends to carry out his “diplomatic” moves when no one is watching, so maybe the cat got a lucky break.
Well, he did attempt tummy rubs and that’s ill advised with a cat you don’t know.
Yep, he should take some tips from George Dubya.
Putin likes animals. It’s the thing we share in common: we like animals more than human animals and we think Angela Merkel is cool (you know he does deep down).
this morning I listend to the news and they said “the politician paid a visit to Moscow and then he stayed in Siberia for a while”
Couldn’t help lauging…
But Putin is a really shrewd politician. Seconded Ben’s view that he immediately recognized the cat’s body language.
Look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSepU6CbVn8
how extremely frightened the dog (Blondi) is.
There’s another video of Hitler and a dog acting exactly the same – I hate watching them, knowing what the poor dog went through. Especially as many seem to think that it shows a good side of Hitler and think it shows the dogs like him.
Putin is a “groznyi tsar”, not a “tischaiski tsar”. Think: he’s a bear of a tsar, not a kitten.
That’s good politics in today’s Russia. It may not be popular in the West, but Putin has multiple megatonnes of nuclear death rain that says “I don’t care what the West thinks of me”.
I’ll have to say that Putin does know how to hold a cat, so he gets points there.
If I were a cat, I’d be more scared being held by this man, my PM, Stephen Harper. It just looks creepy when Harper holds cats and smiles.

Speaking of Putin, this cracked me right up:Sunday Funday with Dima and Vova.
Oh Moscow Times, never change!
They look like such a happily married couple!
(Of course, Putin would consider than an insult.)

His smile is creepy, but the kitten is cute.
yeeeesh. I do agree.
No one has mentioned Ernst Stavro Blofeld?

He got a little too familiar a little too quickly, but the first guy was not Mr Gentle either. Poor kitty!
Animals always know who the bad guys are
Any of Europe (apart from parts of the Russian population) is fooled by Putin?
Show a picture of Putin, and everyone goes irrational!

I have to admit that It doesn’t matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop is pretty much my philosophy for distance running.
