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

TC has been moved to classics (thanks MN)

Excellent news. This thread is coming along very well. I do like TC as Thane of Cawdor. It is very appropriate.

He's the tiger who tried and tried and tried to come to tea.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 16/12/2019 19:11

Ooooh yes, TC would be perfect as the tiger who came to tea! :).

AnniePankettonne · 16/12/2019 18:44

Well done @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats and TC !

7Worfs · 16/12/2019 18:09

Next step - a photobook (is that a thing?) deal. Working titles:

TC and me
The trials and tribulations of TC
The TC who really wanted to come to tea
The taming of TC

Hooray. It's well deserved, Grumpy.

BovaryX · 16/12/2019 13:38

TC, The Thane of Cawdor, His Most Regal Stripyness has received the accolade he deserves!

And a Merry Christmas to us all! Xmas Grin

Maybe we should look.
Maybe TC can deposit gifts at MNHQ.

Any news on the nomination of your first thread to Classics Grumpy? It's been nominated at least three times

Nonstopbuttmachine · 14/12/2019 11:59

second hand mouse corpses 😂😂😂 Might steal this for a name change 🤔😅

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/12/2019 11:17

Actually, I do rather think you 'asked for it' with that title ... omens and all that. I would have thought that the witch's song would have suited TC -

"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good"

There's your shopping list TC!

And they've gone again this morning.
When I titled this thread I was referring to TC - not to rancid rodent cadavers.
As an aside NDN said that TC is bringing quite a few mice in at present - but he drops them in the garden and then one of the dogs eats them.

Dunno. But you are clearly freaked, so whatever it is they are playing it well. Maybe TC is wooing Sybil?

Just back from a concert - and there are two, clearly second hand, mouse corpses by the front door.
What are these bloody cats playing at?

No pictures today - but a puzzle.
Yesterday our front step was mousageddon with four dead mice and voles. (Pretty sure the 'kittens' are responsible)
Today - all gone. Checked with DW but nobody in the house admits to removing them.
I suspect TC of stealing them to pass off as his own to his owner...

What a gorgeous boy and such a wonderful name too!

Lolimax · 13/12/2019 14:17

Oh my I had to check then it wasn't my Tetley!!

Love the title, even if it is Hamlet and not Macbeth! Let’s hope the stripy thing continues to haunt you.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/12/2019 19:06

Ahhh poor TC, bearing gifts 'n all .

I do like TC, and I'm #TeamBlackCat but I do have to say Sybil is a stunning looking cat and there should be pictures of her too .
