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

Maybe Sybil backed Karl into a corner and told him to start pulling his weight with the TC problem?.

@TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig

Thanks for asking - actually the Thames has behaved here and hasn't even come into the garden yet. So there are no cat restrictions at present (ours went stir crazy last time we had floods here).

TC has had a couple of run-ins with Karl in the last week but nothing else newsworthy Grin.

How is TC doing with the flooding, Grumpy?

AnneKipanki · 16/02/2020 11:41

Karl certainly put on a show .
TC looks so innocent and shocked.🙀

Poor boy wonders why no one wants him :(

TC face in the last one!

No - no mice, voles, baby rats or birds. In fact no Valentine gifts at all (I feel bereft Grin).

TC was around quite a bit yesterday - scratching at the front door to get in. He also tried to follow Karl into the house at one point - Karl was unimpressed.

Did TC bring any Valentine gifts @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats ?

Spartacus
We've always had foxes round here (there are fields on the opposite side of the road to the house). Just never had one come up the steps of the patio and peer in before. So I'm not worried about our cats going out and I'm confident that TC can look after himself. (Having said that - I didn't let them out last night in a fit of post-fox anxiety - but Lenny went out through the bedroom window anyway)
A few years ago I saw Basil and a fox on the street trotting down the road together apparently having a friendly chat Grin.

TC is letting Sybil know he will be all gallant and manly and protect her from Reynard the Fox.

In all seriousness, Grumpy, is it best to keep the cats in at night? And NDN re TC too?

Supersimkin2 · 13/02/2020 00:30

Is it fox cub time? Maybe TC's entered into a local business partnership.

I've a nasty feeling that TC is upping his game and is now hiring heavies to intimidate us. Shock
I just looked through the patio doors and there was a bloody great fox staring in at us. Been here over 20 years and never seen a fox on the patio before. I suppose this might explain the disappearing rodent corpses though.

purrswhileheeats · 12/02/2020 20:27

I think if TC breathes hard enough on the window he could draw a heart with his paw for Sybil ♥️

Supersimkin2 · 12/02/2020 19:45

They are sharing the first sunbeam of Spring. Let the delicate emotional flower of friendship bloom.

Fluffycloudland77 · 12/02/2020 17:43

I doubt Sybil’s that sort of girl. She’s already got three ineffective males lounging around.

BovaryX · 12/02/2020 12:46

The Thane and his unrequited love! He is a princely, stripy feline.....

I still wonder if TC has a secret lurve for Sybil!

I'm pretty sure if he does it will remain unrequited. Grin

And now really making a point of ignoring each other.

Gloriously sunny this morning.

Basil and Sybil can't be bothered to go out - but they do have a visitor. Not difficult to spot the difference between Basil's and Sybil's body language.

@SuperSimkin2 - don't worry I was teasing too - but I'm sure my mum would have been very pleased with your compliment Grin.

In terms of afternoon tea for cats - you have clearly hit on the Next Big Thing. I suggest you patent the idea immediately.

A sprinkle of Dreamies served on a slate and a jam jar of lactose-free milk for only £55.

What a business proposition SuperSimkin2! Have you heard about the canine cocktails that apparently exist? Perhaps you could also serve Pawsecco, Catmint Julep, Blue Russian and Catpirinha? Non alcoholic of course - Dreamies are addictive enough
