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

YetAnotherSpartacus - sorry about wrong name! Was doing from memory as your post was on the previous page.

he is so adept at removing [cone] that I have to replace it about 20 times a day

I am always impressed at just how much cats can do, despite the lack of opposable thumbs. Even though it’s much harder opening tins and pouches when you only have teeth and paws, to adapt the adage ‘why keep a dog and bark yourself’ (very poor taste on this board), ‘why keep a cat slave and open your own food?’ Hope everything goes smoothly this afternoon. I am glad Karl has recovered so well.

Anyoldspartacus I don’t know how TC manages the ‘poor little me’ look either when we have all seen his teeth and scary claws. It is quite a talent.

Poor TC. I really do feel for him. He's like the kid in the playground this was me that no one would play with. Maybe the uncool kid will snare the most popular gal and a fairytale will ensue? A cat version of Grease?

@nettie434

Karl's having his stitches out this afternoon - so still has the cone till then I'm afraid. Mind you he is so adept at removing it that I have to replace it about 20 times a day...

I'm afraid that was indeed a grumpy hiss from Lenny.

So only Sybil has succumbed to TC's charms? Expect Karl is glad that he has got rid of the cone

*would even

His belly! Oh his lovely belly! It was be worth losing a finger for it...

Allergictoironing · 23/04/2020 09:58

Lenny's FACE in the first pic! He is seriously not impressed (either that, or you've caught him yawning Grin).

Just been watching TC trying to play with Lenny outside. Lenny clearly isn't having any of it.

So his plan is working. He's got Mrs Grumpy on side, Sybil fawning over him, everyone else has given up .... he has conquered this realm Grin

Supersimkin2 · 22/04/2020 13:31

My God Sybil is a beautiful lady. TC is a worthy suitor.

CassandraCross · 22/04/2020 12:40

That's good enough Grumpy.

If Sybil is the master manipulator, Lady Macbeth reincarnation as purported I'm not sure I'd call it a truceGrin.

Not an on/off balcony shot I'm afraid (sorry CassandraCross), but when I nipped out of the front of the house 10 minutes ago I discovered this.

Based on the last few days I an confirm that a fragile truce has definitely broken out.

Cawdor, Cawdor - ffs MN give us an edit function!

CassandraCross · 22/04/2020 11:29

Oh jeez! The way TC stands, so regal and proud.

I actually think Sybil may be more like Lady Macbeth - manipulating us all (including TC). Well, TC is the Thane of CadorGrin

BovaryX · 22/04/2020 11:15

It is good to see that the 'situation' has not impeded TC's Bengal shenanigans. To which he has recently added troth plighting! The latest pictures of his Regal Stripyness are fabulous.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 22/04/2020 10:58

Is that gas bottle closer to your house than it was yesterday?

AnneKipanki · 22/04/2020 10:31

Fine specimen.

7Worfs · 22/04/2020 10:23

Look at that face. He’s plotting.

Aren't they more of a Beatrice/Benedick pair?

CassandraCross · 21/04/2020 14:06

You failed by not providing photographic evidence of the star crossed lovers though Grumpy!

CassandraCross · 21/04/2020 14:06

This just gets better and better!

7Worfs · 21/04/2020 14:03

And Sybil Catpulet Grin
