Can tomorrow's photo have him, er, reacting to the windscreen wipers?
I did actually consider that as a CRM (cat removal strategy) but feared TC's retribution would be too great to bear Grin

@Lorddenning1

Can't you just walk OP, the king is on his throne.
Just use the other car.

That picture of TC clinging to the car with those magnificent paws is epic! He looks in fine fettle...

Tail end of last week we took the 'kittens' to the vet for their boosters. TC was waiting on the car - oversaw the loading (cat baskets) and hung on refusing to move until I started the engine.

Tankie is my Mr October. He is adorable.

Cattermole · 23/09/2020 15:46

I had a brief panic there as The Tank (something around a stone and a half of relentlessly affectionate rescue cat) is also known as Thug Cat due to his somewhat boisterous greetings.

Fortunately Tankie (aka Obelix...after Asterix's massive best mate) although a credible impersonator of Staffies, is tabby and white, and in Cornwall. I'm looking at him now sitting on one of the other cats, so he's definitely here.

You'd never be able to curate a TC Calendar to a measly 12 pictures!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 23/09/2020 12:29

except JK Rowling's

I was thinking you meant the number of pages at first ...

JKR Rocks :)

Supersimkin2 · 23/09/2020 12:21

Or the royalty statement, working out etc. I bet @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats is a beast with a calculator and 17 spreadsheets at 3am, tho'.

Supersimkin2 · 23/09/2020 12:19

There's no printer in the UK capable of handling the size of the order for the

except JK Rowling's.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 23/09/2020 09:39

Sounds like a perfect calendar theme to me...

As part of the glorious heritage of internet cats, this thread really ought to be called Cats that Act Like Hitler.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 23/09/2020 09:26

I don't think our NDN is under any illusions about TC's thuggy tendancies, although he (TC) did leave the house far more willingly for NDN than he ever does when we try to get rid of him

I read that as "I don't think our NDN is under any illusions about TC's thuggy tendancies, although he (TC) did leave the house far more willingly than NDN ever does when we try to get rid of him" ... oops!

@TastelessBracelets - how very dare you suggest that Basil might be a bit of a coward Grin.

@YetAnotherSpartacus

NDN popped in earlier. Having a chat round the kitchen table when he suddenly exclaimed 'What is -- (TC) doing eating your cats' food?'

That sounds vaguely accusatory ... as if you were responsible somehow. :)

Well if you keep on feeding him then he is going to keep coming in Grin

Was NDN surprised to see the hissing and growling? Does he ever do it at home.

Was Basil watching or more like hiding in the fruit bowl?

BovaryX · 23/09/2020 09:02

Talk to the paw

@CassandraCross

Ha! Another motto for TC. I also like 'rable' it suits TC and his talent for mischief and mayhem. The paw pictures are fabulous!
