That's a pretty meaty forearm, that is.

NDN has sent me a photo of TC doing Yoga this morning (in his box on the pool).

I love your idiots' guide to cat-sizing Grumpy. Kloppy had a weigh-in at the vets last week... 5.2kg despite being a short arse Shock

Given the daft names people give to mongrels dog cross breeds...
would this make TC a Tugal or a Bendor? Grin

Traitors.

It's muscle. All muscle.

*@TheLongRider - the resemblance is uncanny. How to explain it? Reincatnation? Direct descendant?

He may be a big, fat git but he's got a legion of adoring fans.

AnneKipanki · 16/02/2021 08:26

He still seems pretty agile . There is no way my friend 's very fat cat could make it to sit on a fence .

TheLongRider · 16/02/2021 07:51

I can see a family resemblence.

Time to explain cats. Not very scientific but this may help.
Cats can be small, medium, big, or bloody enormous.
Separately, cats can be skinny, just right, or fat gits.
Examples.
Basil is a big, just right cat.
Sybil is a small, verging on skinny cat.
And much as it may disappoint some of his fans TC is a big, fat cat. Grin

BastardCat was almost 9 kilos; obviously all muscle.

Allergictoironing · 15/02/2021 08:03

Boycat is a long, lithe build and HE weighs 6kg, he's just big. No fat shaming allowed here!

CassandraCross · 15/02/2021 00:13

Oooh Grumpy how very dare you - TC is not a fatty, just in his prime with perfectly formed muscles (which as the myth goes weigh more than fatGrin). TC has worked out to perfect his Adonis look to tempt the ever lovely Sybil, probably got one of those Arnold Schwarzenegger chest expander thingies!!

Defiantly41 · 14/02/2021 23:24

OMG. 6.9 kg? Both of mine together weigh less than 6kg ,..

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 14/02/2021 21:48

Yes. I would venture a guess that TC is not a stranger to indulgence.

purrswhileheeats · 14/02/2021 21:06

You can't fat shame TC Shock He's curvy and carries his weight well who ate all the pies

It’s just fur.
What do you think he is? A merino?
He's a fatty I tell you!

It's muscle, sheer muscle topped by a nice winter weight fur coat.

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/02/2021 20:01

It’s his winter coat. It’s just fur.

I have it on good authority (NDN) that TC's maximum weight was 6.9kg Shock.
He might be a little bit less than that now but he's still a chunky sod.
Basil is a big lad (c. 6kg) but he's long (proof enclosed). TC definitely always feels fatter heavier.

Just out of curiosity - how much do you reckon TC weighs? He is a very...healthy looking feline.

Note, I am not suggesting that Grumpy takes his life into his hands and puts TC on a scale, just wondering if anyone has any estimates.

CassandraCross · 14/02/2021 18:41

That is such a look!

purrswhileheeats · 14/02/2021 18:34

I'm getting a Taxi Driver vibe from TC Shock

Several people on the street have assumed he belongs to us

Ha, Ha! They'll be thinking "why don't those mean people let the poor little starving kitty in, the big meanies". Soon, You will have the RSPCA at the door ...
