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

Grin I was teasing - one can tell you are very well brought up from your posts Grin

Afternoon Tea for Cats is doubtless a new East End fashion. A sprinkle of Dreamies served on a slate and a jam jar of lactose-free milk for only £55. Kitten portions available on request.

I think my manners are impeccable(ish). Hmm
But does my NDN invite Basil, Sybil, Karl and Lenny in for afternoon tea?
I think not!

It's not right. You accept invitations from NDN but you don't invite TC back.

Manners, Grumpy.

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/02/2020 13:13

I think TC can see the hypocrisy here.

BovaryX · 10/02/2020 12:57

The melancholy regal Thane of Cawdor and his yearning for feline Nirvana next door.....

And then we wait to see if you're ever heard from again

That would be my worry. As in Edward Lear, although I do know GrumpyOldPersonWithCats is a man.

‘There was a young lady of Riga,
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And a smile on the face of the tiger.’

I actually think you should start a voting AIBU thread (although, extremely irritatingly, you don't see the votes on the app) asking whether you are BU not to let TC in. Then you have to abide by the majority verdict...

And then we wait to see if you're ever heard from again

Poor TC! I still don't know how you can resist that adorable little face.

AnneKipanki · 10/02/2020 10:07

The 'curtains ' advertisement was actually 'Pets at Home' . There is a mini TC in it.

AnneKipanki · 10/02/2020 09:42

How can you resist !

nettie434 · 10/02/2020 09:35

Grin TC is so determined! The way I see it Grumpy is that TC sees you coming into his house and wonders why he can’t go into yours and that it should work both ways. Plus, he looks at your cats and thinks they are living in Cat Nirvana and wants to be there too.

I have no idea what is on the string - I'll check next time I'm round and report back. I do suspect however that @MooseBeTimeForSummer may be correct.

This morning TC is fully back on form.
We heard miaowing outside so went to let Lenny in. The miaowing however was from TC who tried to force his way through the front door - accompanied by much hissing when I shut him out.

Those paws look like the feline equivalent of someone cracking their knuckles and doing neck rolls in anticipation of wreaking some havoc...

AnneKipanki · 09/02/2020 12:25

Trophies .🏆

BovaryX · 09/02/2020 12:15

What’s on the string? The withered hearts of his previous slayings??
Grin

Single2catsand1daughter · 08/02/2020 23:55

He's a very handsome boy.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/02/2020 23:26

I was wondering that. It looks suspiciously Christmassy.

Dreaming of sleeping in Grumpy DW's bed, eating Grumpy DC's breakfast and sitting in Grumpy's Big Bear Chair.

He is so sweet.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/02/2020 23:06

Somebody looks like they were rudely woken up from a kitty sleep where they were having kitty dreams of warm sun and fields of exciting swaying grass with mousies, birdies and butterflies and finally getting into Grumpy's house.

AnneKipanki · 08/02/2020 23:03

Chilled , yet still menacing.

nettie434 · 08/02/2020 22:45

Hurray! Three TC photos in one day. Thanks Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 08/02/2020 22:15

Those paws are bloody massive Grin

JKScot4 · 08/02/2020 22:00

Is he plotting your death?
He looks very serious 😼

Back at NDN's house this evening to let the dogs out.
Greeted by this on the cat tower.
