Links (hopefully) to the first and second threads below

TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Chatting with Mrs NDN yesterday only to discover that TC goes out of his way to savage her too. She related that the previous day TC had walked calmly past two people in the house and then flew at her ankle without warning Grin. TC spent five hours yesterday camped on the roof of our yellow car. He only got off mid afternoon when it started to rain.
She's probably relieved when he decamps to your place :)

King of all he surveys. The sun never sets on TC's empire

The magnificent striped one and his savannah glare...

The photo in which TC is reclining on Grumpy's car is his Lion in Trafalgar Square Pose. Hope Mrs NDN's ankles survived the onslaught. I fear that everyone in TC's neighbourhood needs to wear thick socks and safety boots at all times. Of course that is a small price to pay for the honour of providing resting spots and lookout posts for TC (let alone the occasional purloined meal).

Mrs NDN gets Fucidin and new trousers for Xmas. A small price to pay for hosting The Emperor.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats A poster desperately needs your help.

Oooh - defenestration via the tactic of boredom. I'll remember that.

Since the cats spend 90% of their time asleep the only Biblical story that it seemed appropriate to read them is that of Eutychus.

Gorgeous!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 03/10/2020 12:40

Have you read your cats the parable of the Good Samaritan Grumpy?

Ellmau · 03/10/2020 12:33

Karl is gorgeous, glad his tail fur has grown back :)

YetAnotherSpartacus · 03/10/2020 11:29

Poor TC - he just wants to be friends :(

Fluffycloudland77 · 03/10/2020 10:46

Quite right too.

I noticed TC seemed very interested in the trailer this morning. I then spotted Karl between the wheels. TC was very relaxed - alas Karl was having none of his friendly overtures.

Well there IS a pic of the lovely TC lounging snuggled up to the legs of NDN, with an open fire roaring in the background...

And do you really think he isn't the boss of a mere 3 dogs? Wink

TastelessBracelets · 02/10/2020 19:45

Allergictoironing In the bosom of his gang of dogs? Surely Grumpy has a picture of his little face pressed up to the window gazing admiringly at Sybil?

Allergictoironing · 02/10/2020 18:12

@TastelessBracelets

And where is TC sheltering from the rain and cold weather today?
I'd guess snuggled up somewhere in his own home, in the lap of luxury Grin

I wouldn't say either pair are bonded but they do rub along quite happily. Lenny also loves Basil Grin.

Yes it was indeed Karl who became 'poodley'. Delighted to report that his tail fur is now fully recovered.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Yes, Karl and Lenny are litter mates, as are Basil and Sybil. Both pairs are from Battersea.
Do they ever fight with each other? Or are both sets of siblings bonded with each other?
