I hope the literary TC will not object to being referred to as a thing.

Glad Mrs NDN is feeling better. Did anyone ever read books about Orlando the Marmalade Cat as a child? He had a wife and 3 children. TC looks a bit like Orlando.

You're probably right Yet, I tried to enlarge/zoom in but was foiled!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 02/05/2020 14:26

Wrong colour for Sybil :) I'm guessing Lenny?

CassandraCross · 02/05/2020 14:22

That is very good news about Mrs NDN, I hope she knows that all of us here were sending good wishes her way.

Is that Sybil on guard duty? and how is the lampshade monster with the toilet brush tail, has he been able to show his war wounds to TC yet?

Supersimkin2 · 02/05/2020 13:56

Congrats to Mrs NDN. She will soon be able to resume light petcare duties, one hopes.

Those might not include lifting TC up. He is particularly magisterial at the moment. A lot of, er, charisma fills the room.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 02/05/2020 13:39

I am so pleased about Mrs NDN!

And TC is doing the toaster pose!

Pleased to report that Mrs NDN is much improved thanks (although still very tired). Classic Covid-19 symptoms.

As for TC - he continues to turn up and make efforts to break in. A few photos enclosed from earlier today.

TC's been a bit quiet...
How is Mrs NDN?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 27/04/2020 08:59

I'm not an Attenborough fan, but how would he describe TC?

I'm thinking of the Goodies episide where they did 'Bellamy!!!!!!!'.

CassandraCross · 26/04/2020 20:25

No, no, no Want2beme he belongs on a throne alongside his Queen, Sybil, in the Grumpy Mansion with his underlings being suitably obsequious.

He belongs in a wildlife documentary 🦁Grin

CassandraCross · 26/04/2020 15:34

TC is currently relaxing under DW there's a double entendre Shakespeare himself would be proud ofGrin.

Lord Stripy looks positively radiant in the sunshine!

That throne needs the addition of sumptuous cushions for the Thane.

Supersimkin2 · 24/04/2020 18:04

Thane on throne Grin he looks vairy, vairy happy. And not at all thoughtful, which must come as a relief.

BovaryX · 24/04/2020 17:13

The Thane of Cawdor looks resplendent reclined on his garden furniture. A rare sight of stripy adherence to the Stay at Home exhortations!

Dog on the floor, two seater sofa for one cat 😂

NDN sent me this yesterday to try to prove that TC does actually spend some time in their garden rather than ours Grin.

And now he's made himself even more comfortable. 3 of ours are asleep at the other end of the patio at the moment.

Stitches removed and Karl is very happy to be going out again. I'm not aware of him being laughed at by his furry chums (but I suspect he is).

TC is asleep on our patio as usual. I was very impressed that he's using his tail to cover his modesty - he hadn't been 30 seconds earlier Shock.

How did the stitches go Grumpy?

I bet TC was waiting for Karl with lucozade and this week's edition of Your Cat.

Allergictoironing · 23/04/2020 11:01

He doesn't really mind wearing it, but he really can't bear being seen by the others as it's so un-cool. So he leaves it on overnight as not worth the effort, but removes it during the say so nobody else sees him in it.

I am always impressed at just how much cats can do, despite the lack of opposable thumbs

Karl's technique is to roll over on his back, put his front legs (arms?) behind his head and push the collar off.
He's been restricted to one room at night and surprisingly keeps his collar on overnight.
DW theorises that he takes it off immediately we shut the door but has learned to put it back on just before we let him out if the room in the morning Grin.
