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

Karl and his luxury limited-edition tail will be your proudest and most worthwhile investment Grumpy. Ow, £800. He's been shaved, you've been rinsed. I hope you both feel better soon.

New spontaneous pix the best ever. Much nicer than staged portrait. Is there a market for second-hand Bengals?

Very sorry but given the circumstances I don't think that dressing TC up in bunny ears or similar is likely to happen at the moment and I'm certainly not going to risk trying it.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing to apologise for Grumpy. As it is, you make so many people’s lives better with the saga of TC. As for Karl, he now has one of the most valuable cat tails ever.

@MrsCastiel

I think Sybil is my favourite

You clearly have exquisite taste Grin

In terms of Karl's tail - it has so far cost over £800 in vet's bills Shock so I bloody hope it's getting better. Karl seems quite happy despite being under anaesthetic today and being shaved even more.

It's taken me an hour but I've now read both threads

I'm totally in love with TC but I think Sybil is my favourite 😍

Well you only need to convince one person you’re wonderful in order to get away with blue murder.

I can't be alone in hoping for a portrait of TC in his Easter Bonnet

Ooh yes! I loved TC's official Christmas card pix with the elf hat and the even better one in the slightly too tight red jumper.

Hope Mrs NDN gets better soon Grumpy and that the Grumpy house is you all safe too. How is Karl's tail?

I'm sorry to disappoint all those who want to believe that TC has a compassionate side. I'm afraid he has not been comforting our poorly NDN at all. He's apparently very much our male NDN's cat (Mrs NDN relies on the dogs).
TC is still spending all his time here as usual anyway. Here he is trying to get in yesterday and then (after being stymied by me closing the door properly) preventing us from getting back in as revenge.

Prescription anti histamines are great. You can get antihistamine eye drops now.

Supersimkin2 · 11/04/2020 08:57

Allergic these things are sent to try us. You're going through the mill at the moment and rescuing someone else, so you deserve the very best, get GP pills.

I expect TC is lovingly supporting Mrs NDN by kipping on her face.

Allergictoironing · 11/04/2020 08:34

I've had dreadful hayfever for about 3 weeks now, constantly blowing my nose, runny gritty eyes, and a cough (wet not dry cough). I have to warn people when in socially distanced queues for shopping that it's hayfever and NOT the dreaded CV. No temperature, and as I said wet not dry cough plus feeling mostly OK in general.

However my DSis's CV started out like a normal cold then progressed, so she should probably give it a week to see what (if anything else) develops.

Big furry purring cats are a comfort in times like this, and I reckon Fluffy is right about him being a cuddle monster with his own slaves Grin

Supersimkin2 · 10/04/2020 21:12

All the very best to Mrs NDN. nb with no temp. it might be hay fever - worst pollen year ever predicted.

TC will nurse her tenderly.

Maybe you could lead a Clap for Cats, Grumpy.

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/04/2020 19:58

He will be needed for snuggling his mum now. I bet in the house he’s a little love bug who milk paddles and curls up on laps.

AnneKipanki · 10/04/2020 19:00

He was already super .

AnneKipanki · 10/04/2020 18:59

TC might be a super spreader now.

JKScot4 · 10/04/2020 18:07

I think you should offer to take TC in, you know to help ndn 😉
Best wishes to TCs mum x

AnneKipanki · 10/04/2020 17:08

Yes , I hope NDN recovers quickly.

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/04/2020 15:44

Oh dear, poor woman.

BovaryX · 10/04/2020 15:41

Sorry to hear about NDN's wife, hope she recovers soon. This blasted virus. Stay safe everyone. The Thane in all his glorious stripeyness......

CassandraCross · 10/04/2020 14:42

Sorry to hear about Mrs NDN, Grumpy I wish her all the best for a swift recovery. Stay safe all of you.

Magnificent photos of a truly magnificent beast, TC single-handedly keeping The Litter Tray's spirits up during lockdown, what a starGrin.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 10/04/2020 14:33

Photos now there!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 10/04/2020 14:33

No Photos :(

All the best to Mrs NDN and do take care Grumpy and the Grumpy household.

TC is sheltering from the heat of the midday sun under one of the garden chairs. Two photos (one from each end Grin).
We also can't stroke him now since our neighbours are having to self isolate (sadly Mrs NDN has developed the cough).
