Was it Karl or Lenny who had the brush with the unknown assailant which resulted in Poodle Tail, Grumpy? If it was Karl, it looks fully restored to glory in the Battle of the Bonnet photo.

Yes, Karl and Lenny are litter mates, as are Basil and Sybil. Both pairs are from Battersea.

No idea why but yes, the car does seem to have suddenly become the latest battleground.
And I apologise, but that was actually Karl looking dashing on the bonnet - I should have clarified.
I'm afraid Lenny struggles to look dashing but he does have ridiculously long (and untidy) whiskers - see attached.[/quote]
Lenny is an elegant chap, are he and Karl brothers?

The magnificent TC sprawling in stripey abandon.....

Slumbering in a sunbeam, sleeping the sleep of the Just.

What can you do.

The car has been relinquished. He's now laying claim to the barbeque. I don't actually think he's left our premises at all since about 8 this morning.

Poor Lenny though being beaten up first thing. That’s not very nice behaviour is it?.

Champagne glasses?

Is TC's bonnet obsession a recent development? Lenny looks very dashing, magnificent whiskers!

Top Cat !

Carefully avoiding the windscreen wipers there.

TC has now retaken possession of the car following a spat with Karl.

And no - the weather may be a bit shit but you are not coming in (particularly after you attacked my leg when I went to rescue Lenny)

TC is in disgrace this morning having been bullying little Lenny outside our back door. Meanwhile I have a new bonnet mascot.

That could be a body double !

nettie434 · 29/09/2020 07:44

That photo from NDN is TC's equivalent of the scandal hit celebrity doing a photoshoot for Hello or OK to 'prove' they are a just a home loving charity giving victim of the tabloids.

Unfortunately, Grumpy, despite all the other photos of TC showing his fearsome teeth that we have seen, it will only convince the rest of us that he is a dear little kitty who wants nothing more than to be loved.

TastelessBracelets · 29/09/2020 07:34

From that angle you can't see his claws embedded in your neighbour's legs Grin

But also, perhaps if you didn't chase him away, he'd happily sit on your lap too.

Els1e · 29/09/2020 07:30

Well there’s your clue to peace pact with TC. A packet of Wotsits.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/09/2020 07:06

The flip side to TC.

Sweetpea1532 · 29/09/2020 01:25

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

TC is brilliant 😂😂😂

CassandraCross · 28/09/2020 23:22

Oh c'mon Grumpy you'd just love TC to curl up like that on you, you know it, we know it and most importantly TC knows itGrin.

NDN has sent me this photograph in a vain attempt to prove that TC is actually a cute cuddly cat and not a house breaking violent thug. I'm not convinced...

That photo of TC desperately clinging onto the car roof has literally made 2020 so much better Grin
