He hides behind the curtains covering the front door and leaps out at you as you walk past. Mind you, it took him months to learn that he needed to *hide* for it to work. It's hard of course for a cat to know whether his tail's sticking out....
I actually like Debi's work, I could see benifits from working with them - but not for them. I have suggested ways to work with them, they pay a small percentage to our village Hall, true, I get nothing but as a maker of things, I expect some reward. 2.5% gross from all sales does not sound excessive.
I haz tradmark on prrrs. All your catz are belongz to me.
Is anyone else finding that with every post, "Tobermory Cat" is making it more and more clear that he hasn't got even the vaguest hint of a claim?
I found his posts extremely difficult to read (he seemed to be writing in rather poor English?) so I may be wrong. But he seems to be saying his only objection is that Gliori used the title "The Tobermory Cat" for her story? And that all his work has going for it is the title (which seems a weird thing to claim) so by using the same title she's infringing on his rights?Is anyone else finding that with every post, "Tobermory Cat" is making it more and more clear that he hasn't got even the vaguest hint of a claim?
In fact even my mom had a ginger tom.
Great internal rhyme! In fact, that sounds like a great line for the first verse of "The Ballad of the Tobermory Cat Troll". Or possibly the first line of the chorus:In fact even my mom had a ginger tom.

Our ginger tom back when he was a wee beastie:
Mines not a ginger tom, but I can always fix that with photoshop.

And a ginger cat can be short or long,
But the title role for most internet pull
Belongs to the Tobermory Ginger Cat Troll.

I found the trademark information: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/tm/t-os/t-find/t-find-number?detailsrequested=C&trademark=2615277So, this was after the vendetta against Debi began? (I apologize if I have the timeline incorrect. Please correct me if I do).

The Edinburgh publishers who we call Gog McWong and Co Inc ( because it sounds like an Edinburgh rip off of the very talented TV makeover designer Goc Wan) claim they are the creators of the Tobermory Cat character. We try to be positive. We are flattered that they like our creation. We note they have had an illustrator following Tobermory Cat on facebook for months. They intend to merchandise what we consider to be our creation by producing a kids book based on our Tobermory Cat. For commercial reasons T.C. Management really doesn't want to go anywhere near Balamory – we preferring to work amongst the more playful adult demographic and don't want our creation dragging off to play school. They think otherwise. Forgive the lack of posts but Gog McWong and Co Inc are killing the fun.
