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

No risk of being spotted in Grumpy's hallway mid-cleaning up...

Oops, sorry LennyBlush, I am sure Karl's coat will very soon rival Lenny's!

nettie434 · 12/07/2020 19:45

Poor Karl! It is growing back though. I think Karl's look says 'if you photographed me from the other side, that embarrassing bit bit of my tail would be hidden'. A bit like us holding our stomach in when being photographed.

.... and clearly from the look on his face, Karl is planning on some form of revenge on you for pointing that out.

Karl does indeed have a very impressive shiny coat - but the last pictures are of Lenny Grin.

You can tell the difference because Karl is still quite poodley.

Karl has a very impressive shiny coat, looks very well groomed.

TC has backed himself into a corner and he knows it!

Tomatoes are entirely down to DS2 (grown from seed) and the crop looks as if it's going to be enormous(e). Grin.

Your tomatoes are lush Grumpy. For once, TC looks a tiny bit repentant under Karl's steely gaze.

Or the first picture even.

I suspect there is a mouse behind the tomato plants this morning. TC and Lenny (and Karl unseen) have all been hanging around them.
TC had a great comedy moment when he slapped Lenny's bum as he (Lenny) went in between the plant pots. (Second picture shows the aftermath)

We will know for sure when Grumpy finds a mouse head in his bed tonight.

Grumpy might as well put a front door key under a flower pot for TC.

Lorddenning1 · 02/07/2020 12:31

@nettie434 I can't believe you have just outed TC like that 😳

Supersimkin2 · 02/07/2020 10:57

Someone's planning a fishing trip.

I'm not entirely convinced that TC is that clever but...
I can't help feeling that today, from his position on our patio table, he's checking that we've got the message Grin.

nettie has it, I think Grin

CassandraCross · 02/07/2020 00:09

A suitably fiendish theory nettie434, so machiavellian, so TC.

An alternative theory is that it is not Grumpy attracting various Thug Cats but that TC2 and TC3 are part of TC's mafia. It's like when the thug running protection racket visits a shopkeeper. Shopkeeper declines service. Thug arranges for something to happen in shop so shopkeeper feels there is no choice but to pay up.

TC wants the run of NDN's house, the Grumpy house and various boats and cars. TC2 & TC3 have been brought in precisely to make Mrs Grumpy feel there is no choice but to pay TC protection money give TC the run of the Grumpy cat food supplies.

To gain one TC may be regarded as a misfortune; to gain two looks like carelessness. But three?

In the interests of clear communication going forward:
TC refers to the one and only original stripey cat we know and love Grin.
TC2 is the grey and white vicious sod who we suspect caused Karl's abscess of doom.
TC3 (although to be fair I don't know if he/she is a thug or not) will do as a moniker for the new black cat on the block.
We do seem to attract them...
