TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

For rable read 'table'.

I can't really blame him for my rabble either!

@purrswhileheeats

While I'd happily assume TC was to blame for any number of things (Brexit & Covid to name but two), I really can't blame him for damaging our 20 year old garden rable that we have woefully neglected to maintain properly Grin.

NDN popped in earlier. Having a chat round the kitchen table when he suddenly exclaimed
'What is -- (TC) doing eating your cats' food?'
My apologies for dreadful photo - it was taken just prior to his emergency ejection.

And yes - he hissed and growled despite his owner being there. Meanwhile Basil was sitting on the kitchen table the whole time looking bemused.

He's such a delicate little flower Grin

Has he broken some of the slats on the table Grumpy?

AnneKipanki · 22/09/2020 16:23

Beautiful @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats .

YetAnotherSpartacus · 22/09/2020 14:52

Speak to the paw!

Supersimkin2 · 22/09/2020 14:35

DW hissed? Did TC tried to look under her kilt?

CassandraCross · 22/09/2020 14:24

@Defiantly41

Thank you *@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats* , gorgeous paddy paws
Talk to the pawGrin
CassandraCross · 22/09/2020 14:23

Isn't DW one of his favourites though? Poor TC he must be very discombobulated that a fellow Scot is not making him welcome or do we have Thane of Fife vs Thane of Cawdor in progress in the Grumpy householdGrin.

Beaverlac · 22/09/2020 13:45

Gorgeous beast!

TastelessBracelets · 22/09/2020 13:01

Oooh the poor defenceless kitty being abused by the nasty lady next door. How could anyone think such an adorable cat was up to no good? Hmm Grin

TC has made another break in attempt - coming in through the living room window yesterday. He was apparently very surprised that DW was sitting inside. DW's nobility in battle (hissing at him) made him exit.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday afternoon and this morning for his fans.

And, of course, nobility and savagery in battle

My FIL always used to recount the time when his troop heard the bagpipes of a Scottish Regiment coming to their aid and how uplifting and reassuring it was to know they were on their way.

I had wanted to add their dogged determination and never give up attitude to my previous comment but was afeared I may inadvertently offend some Scottish people!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 20/09/2020 13:07

Jace - Evie looks like Mog in that second picture!

BovaryX · 20/09/2020 12:54

And, of course, nobility and savagery in battle

This should be TC's motto....

Supersimkin2 · 20/09/2020 11:24

I'm mooning about deep-fried Bounty and a bottle of Tequila from the corner shop with the judgmental owner.

DW, being a Scot, is highly amused by the path this thread has recently taken.

@Supersimkin2 - You have got me salivating for a chip shop Haggis supper. Pity they don't do them round here Sad

I wonder if TC likes deep-fried haggis.

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/09/2020 19:16

Isn’t it? Plus the Scots are known for their intelligence so it all dovetails.

CassandraCross · 19/09/2020 19:11

@Fluffycloudland77

We used to call that patch of gingery tummy hair on our Bengal his Sporren.

I do not know if he actually had Scottish dna.

Superbly appropriate for our beloved Thane of CawdorGrin.
JaceLancs · 19/09/2020 18:03

Evie is average cat size - she is sat on DS lap not mine

Olinguito · 19/09/2020 10:39

Either lovely Evie is very big, or you are very small Smile

Supersimkin2 · 19/09/2020 09:33

Oh Evie, she is beeeyootiful.

JaceLancs · 18/09/2020 22:23

When not in ‘evil Evie’ mode
