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

Other pictures show a great similarity.

Don't know if you saw the drug smuggling cat in the Evening Standard ...

Romantic heroes need a day off too.

Following TC's immortalisation in verse he's celebrated by lounging about on the patio with Basil.

He has made one half-hearted attempt to come in but was rebuffed. His response has been to fall asleep sticking his tongue out.

I reckon TC is reciting his Ode in that pictureGrin.

@nettie434

That's brilliant, Bovary 👏🏻👏🏻 I am sure TC feels flattered. Surely he is just receiving his adulation in the way a Roman emperor would?
Yes! I love that description.....
YetAnotherSpartacus · 03/08/2020 10:56

Well done Bovary!

As for TC - he does look rather Tiger Like in that last picture. I'm hearing the 'roooooooaaaarrrr'.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats TC looks either bored or outraged! Grin

@BovaryX - quite brilliant Grin.

Not sure what TC thought of it though...

@AnneKipanki @Supersimkin2
Glad you like it! This thread has been a poetic inspiration and TC deserves an ode....Grin

An Ode to TC

Sometimes he's a thug
Sometimes he's a Thane
And when he breaks in
He's sometimes a pain
That wild feline heart
Those striped feline paws
On mumsnet and beyond
He is always adored

The exploits of TC
His furry travails
Have captured our hearts
And always delight
And we know he loves
House Grumpy and its cats
And feline Nirvana
Is just where he's at

The tale has been told
Of adventure so bold
And his brave request
For final conquest
For TC you see
He's tried and he's tried
The Thane of Cawdor
How much he's adored

CassandraCross · 30/07/2020 21:30

A smugly, satisfied smile!

tillytoodles1 · 30/07/2020 21:11

Hes so cheeky.

AnneKipanki · 30/07/2020 20:18

Lovely 😻

UncleShady · 30/07/2020 19:49

I was thinking how svelte he looked until that last photo.

Still looks at home in all of them...

Supersimkin2 · 30/07/2020 18:26

The very picture of kitty loveliness. Stripes and flowers!

Stripes has been taking advantage of the Mediterranean style weather to bask on our patio all afternoon. He even licked my hand when I went to say hello.
Our cats are to tired to be bothered.

The pictures of TC with his glorious stripey paws through the railings are epic! So he finally managed to break into Feline Nirvana, but his lunch date was short lived because of behaviour unbecoming.....

CassandraCross · 25/07/2020 13:06

I thought you were going to say you spent hours meticulously grooming and a special diet (which is why TC always wants the food available in the Grumpy household!) but superior genes it is!

To Basil - you're welcome! (good teeth too!)
