Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs

Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs


It might make for a funny image, but there is a very thin line between putting things on a cats legs and causing animal cruelty. But I am as sure as I can be that these 10 images you are about to see are nothing but mindless fun with a very patient cat, whom I would imagine hurt their owners shortly after these images were taken. So let’s get those Caurday images going…

Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat With Empty Toilet Rolls on Legs


10 – Captain Rolls


This cat looks like it has been  boxing  with them rather than walking around on them. Maybe the cat using them as a set of punching gloves!


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat With Tights on Legs


9 – Sexy Sleeper


Now this looks just wrong on so many levels. If you think this one looks weird you should see the others in my post “Top 10 Cats in Tights


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat With Leg Warmers


8 – 80s Cats


I am not convinced that a cat needs leg warms given the fact that they are covered in fur! Still, the retro look really works with this feline fame dancer.


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat With Empty Toilet Rolls on Legs


7 – Robot Cat


I can’t work out if this cat is fluffy or it hasn’t moved in a very long time. Maybe it is those toilet roll tubes stopping him from exercising.


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat Wearing Slippers


6 – Slipper Poser


The problem that cats wearing shoes have is they are often too big and cover their entire legs! But if a cat could walk in slippers I would pay money to see it.


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat in Splint


5 – Poor Puss


I am not one to show a cat hurt, but I think this cat is milking it a little too much. But it does have a splint on its leg so lets give it some sympathy anyway.


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat With Toilet Paper on Legs


4 – Bog Legs


We saw this in my post the other week called “Top 10 Toilet Roll Holders” and it is still very funny indeed. In fact the cat looks strangely relaxed about it!


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat With Bread on Legs


3 – Bread Legs


This person hasn’t really got the idea of cat breading yet so has made a bit of a mess up of it. Still, they get a ten out of ten for effort.


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat Wrapped in Foil


2 – Conspiracy Theory


This poor kitty thinks people all over the world are watching him go about his daily chores, so has decided to stop the signals escaping his brain. No more cat-nip for this pussy!


Top 10 Cats With Things on Their Legs Cat Wearing Boots on Legs


1 – Puss in Boots


If you enjoyed the Puss in Boots from Shrek you will love these ankle length boots on the cat! They almost look like wellies, but I bet the cat can’t walk in them, now that would be impressive.

Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts

Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts


A tart is one of those foods that change style depending on where you live. For this post we will be looking at dessert tarts. These shortcrust pastries with a sweet filling are more like a cake than anything. So grab a cup of tea of coffee and let’s go do some taste testing…



Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts

Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Roasted Cherry Chocolate Tart


10 – Cherry Tart


We jump right in with this fruity little tart. Topped with some of the most beautiful ripe cherries I have ever seen and a thick layer of freshly whipped cream covered in chocolate syrup it is a great way to start this list off.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Peanut Butter Chocolate Tart


9 – Nutter Butter Tarter


I really do think people have made just about every kind of recipe out there made with Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. But this tart does stand out as something extra special indeed.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Mango Mousse Tart


8 – Mango Tarto


Just recently I have discovered a new love for mango. While it is normally a summer fruit I think it tastes good all year round. This tart does look like a lot of work though, but if you fancy giving it a go there is a making guise and recipe in the image link.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Strawberry cream cheese crumble tart


7 – Crumble Tarts


Words along can not describe how much I would love to try this. It’s that almond crumble topping which makes my mouth drool every time I say it! Yes I will be making one of these this weekend thanks to the making guide in the image link.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Lemon Tarts


6 – Citrus Tartus


I think the little tarts always look nicer than the bigger ones. Maybe it is because you get more pastry with each bite. I think I could eat all those tarts in this image, and then some!


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Tart


5 – Salty Tarts


Even the name of it is enough to make the mouth drool. With a salted caramel filling and Scharffen Berger Chocolate topping and crust it is a dessert that people will remember for a very long time indeed.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Egg custard tarts


4 – Egg Tarts


Egg and custard tarts are a classic British and Irish tart that brings loads of fond childhood memories for me. Mostly because I hated the taste of them, but many people still rate this as one of the best dessert tart recipes in the world!


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Chocolate Tarts with Raspberry Poached Pears


3 – The Pair of Tarts


In France they are the masters of dessert tarts, where many of the recipes you see here coming from there. So why not inject a little French into your life with these poached pear chocolate tarts. A full recipe and making guide is in the image link if you fancy giving them a go.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Little heart tarts


2 – The Valentine’s Tart


Be it a Alice in Wonderland party or a little treat for your loved one on Valentine’s day. These tarts are perfect for most occasions. What I love about little jam tarts is you get a lot of pastry per bite making them extra sweet.


Top 10 Recipes For Dessert Tarts Cherry Bakewell Tarts


1 – Bakewell Tarts


I will be honest and tell you this recipe was always going to be my number 1. I could eat an entire truck load of these I really could. But I have to hold my hand up and tell you that I do remove the cherry from the top before I eat it then eat the cherry last. It is a sort of tart custom I think I got from my parents. But do try these because it is nothing short of a taste sensation.

Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines

Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines


Living here in Wales means there are loads of mountain ranges all around me, even through the window of my office. And on those mountain ranges is something people have come to love or hate. They are wind turbines and here in Wales there is thousands of them. But I love the look of them and thought I would share with you ten of the most unusual and amazing wind turbines you will ever see…



Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines


..



Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Sheerwind’s Bladeless Wind Turbine


10 – Blowers


This is not going to be the last blade-less wind turbine you will see in this list, but it is the weirdest looking. While I am sure the design is revolutionary it looks most like a wonderful musical instrument!


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Highway wind turbine streetlights


9 – Light your own path


Eco-design firm TAK have made this concept design image of street lights not only powering themselves but also feeding back into the national grid! I think this is a great idea as street lamps are already ugly urban things anyway, so why not attach something a little more pleasing on the eye.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Wind turbine bridge concept


8 – Over Bridged


Unlike the other bridge wind turbine you will come to see this one is for foot bridges and smaller bridges. I would imagine the wind blows rather hard down a river or canal meaning this should generate loads of electricity.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Vertical axis wind turbines


7 – Windy Swingers


Is this the future of wind turbines? The best thing about these ones is it doesn’t matter what way the wind is coming from, it will always generate electricity.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Wind Turbine Building – Anara Tower, Dubai


6 – Living with wind


Instead of making wind turbines to power our homes, why not turn the turbines into our homes! Well that is what Dubai designer TAMEER thinks we should do. At 600m+ high there is more than enough room for the 300 branded apartments, 250 key 5 star hotel, 4 sky gardens, health spa, pool and sports courts they have planed for it.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Honeycomb ‘Wind Lens’ Turbines


5 – The lens of Storms


These unusual turbines work the same way as a magnifying glass does with the sun, but it does it with the wind. Each and every Lens measures 112 meters in diameter meaning they are almost as big as the London eye!


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Wind turbine bridge concept


4 – Bridge Over Windy Valleys


One designer has come up with the idea of combining our need to build bridges with our need to electricity generation. With several wind turbines built into the bridge its self the road will be designed to channel all the wind down the valley and into the turbines! Well it impressed me anyway.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Blade-less Wind Turbines


3 – Stalks


Just how these 1,203 “stalks,” each 180-feet high generate power is far beyond my understanding, but it terms of more unusual ways to generate electricity from wind power this has to be right up there.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Altaeros Energies’ Floating Wind Turbine


2 –Floating Winds


These giant wind turbines are 35-foot round and generate power at 350 feet off the ground! These basically blimp style wind turbines, but in the strong gusts of wind we have blowing thorough the Welsh valleys I would imagine this would not last long at all.


Top 10 Weird and Beautiful Wind Turbines Tree Themed Wind Turbine


1 – Tree Power


It would have been better with a brown coloured main trunk, but this tree themed one generating over 3100 watts of electricity is something I would much prefer to see on the tops of all the mountains round here. But stuff it, I just think any form of green energy is a good start no matter what it looks like.

Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario

Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario


Watching my Little Boy Play Super Mario 3D is like reliving my own childhood. Super Mario has grown up with me as I grow and mature so has he. Its no wonder that in the 1990s, Mario was more recognizable than Mickey Mouse, so it is no wonder people wish to dress their pets like this plumbing hero…



Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario


..



Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Guinea Pig in a Super Mario Costume


10 – Super Guineo


Even the smallest of animals like to dress up as their favourite videogame star. I have to wonder how on earth you get a costume on a Guinea Pig in the first place!


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Spotted Spaniel in a Super Mario Costume


9 – Spanio


If Super Mario was a Spaniel he would look like this that is for sure, but due to the lazy nature of the Spaniel Bowser would have overtaken the Mushroom Kingdom a long time ago.


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Cat in a Super Mario Costume


8 – Mustacheo


The hat is a good part of the costume, but the built-in fur Mustache is priceless! The cat even has Mario’s bright blue eyes as well.


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Dachshund in a Super Mario Costume


7 – Dachshio


This dog looks ready for action. With Red Cap, and plumbers uniform on he really could be the dog of Super Mario! But isn’t Super Marios dog a Chain-Chomp?


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Horse in a Super Mario Costume


6 –Horseo


Admit it, the last animal in the world you thought you would ever see dressed as Super Mario is a horse, but I think he pulls it off really well!


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Bulldog in a Super Mario Costume


5 – Bulldogio


This amazing image is taken from a series of images called “Having a Bull Dog for a Big Brother” and if you have time do click on the image and go through them, some of them are hysterical!


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Cat in a Super Mario Costume


4 – Super Pussio


The look on this cats face is kind of explaining. Maybe the cat thinks it will have to go on an adventure and jump on the backs of turtles! Who knows, love that necklace though.


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Corgi in a Super Mario Costume


3 – Corgio


Yes, even the Queens dogs get to dress up as Super Mario. This lovable pooch gets extra points for all the cool cushions he has collected over the years.


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Chinchilla in a Super Mario Costume


2 – Chinchillio


It seems we have a winner for the award of “Cutest pet in a Super Mario Costume Competition”, shame that the only reward is a few awwws when people see the image, but its better than nothing!


Top 10 Animals Dressed as Super Mario Ferret in a Super Mario Costume


1 – Ferretio


Maybe it was his little furry face, or the fact that he has earned a Power Star. Whatever the reason this little chap won me over and I think Super Mario himself would love this image.
