Cuddlecat again

Post  Marian on Wed Jun 08, 2011 9:20 am

I wonder if the manufacturers of Cuddlecat are pleased or not with all the unusual publicity that their toy has received over the past 4 years. As for Kate, the way I see it is that she is now trying to portray herself as doing the things that "normal" people would have done in her situation. For example, she now claims that she did look for Madeleine herself though much nearer to the event she agreed that neither she nor Gerry did. As for Cuddlecat, she paraded around ostentatiously with it for a while and recently Amelie has been photographed with another one, held to her face in the same way as her mother did in a photo taken on a beach with Gerry. The jury's out (I hope that one day we will be able to say that in respect of whoever is responsible being brought to trial) as to whether she was genuinely displaying a natural need in wanting to be near her child's favourite toy or whether it was just a cynical ploy to gain more sympathy and attention.

Kate is a true sociopath. I know people think it's a heavy term, but quotes like this make that very clear. She has no idea what a normal moral framework would think. No doubt in the next book (because no one is going to stop her now: another million bucks in the future) this will be addressed.
I know the book has been proofread by many, but who will correct her? The lawyers? It's not a legal issue, so the best they can say is: quotes like this won't help your defense when you stand trial? She is convinced she'll never stand trial. From her family and friends I bet no one has the guts to stand up to her: Kate, the doctor, the mother who suffered to have children and suffers to keep them, Kate the saint who was tortured by the Portuguese, Kate the martyr who could not have sex with Gerry, Kate the spouse who taught Gerry to make love to her.

Common, who can tell her "Kate it shows what a lousy human being you are"?

Sorry about the change of avatar, but I didn't have a relevant pic when I put up the last one.

I simply don't understand the attitudes of those who lend these people support. My wife and I, if we went on holiday abroad, left our son back in the UK with grandparents when he was the age of Madeleine and the twins. When he became older, we certainly did take him abroad. If we went out for the evening, we took him with us. There is really no excuse for these people. There are two of them. If it was absolutely necessary to attend the party, one could have gone, leaving the other in the apartment with the kids. They could have swapped roles halfway through the evening, so that they could each have a share of the fun. But, no, they had to attend the party - both of them. And, as so many other people had pointed out, if these folk were working class or underclass, there would be no end to the scorn poured on them.

Or perhaps they are helping her build up to a defence of "unfit to plead".

because of the lack of a moral framework?

eta: she shares that with other criminals I mean.

p. 147 "On Sunday 20 May, Gerry left for the UK.... I was fine, too. Trish and Sandy were there and I had Amelie and Sean. And Cuddle Cat."

Numerous photos of Madeleine but none showing her with her beloved cat, easily explained if a night time comforter I guess.

The cat has been elevated to the status of a child. It even merits a sentence of its own and capital letters as if it is a person's name. Though mentioned after the twins, this final neat and to the point sentence actually gives it more of an impact.
It clearly has massive importance to Kate McCann, can anyone remind me please when it was garlanded with a set of rosary beads ?

The point is they could have had uninterrupted fun with their friends either by using the free evening creche (included in the holiday package price) or by using the paying babysitting service provided by the nannies who minded the children in the day. In the book Kate does not mention the existence of the babysitting service, only dismisses the evening creche as her children fall asleep early, just before the evening creche opened.
