Apparently she also sits on their shed and gives ‘evils’ to their Dcat 😂

Dcat number 1 (Evie) the evil one checking out NDN Dcat

TC's paws are ace!

He's smiling at you, the little angel.

It was indeed a classic TC dirty look. - I interpret it as meaning
'Sod off and leave me alone, puny human'

To be fair having given me the evil eye he did relax again.

@AnneKipanki

Ooh .... that look !
It's not exactly welcoming, is it? And is he stretching his back legs or flashing his claws?

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.

One of my previous cats (the same one in the moorhen incident) decided to have a go at a black swan in the garden. As soon as the swan turned to face him and hissed at him the cat legged it Grin.

Meanwhile TC is owning the patio table today.

A place I used to work was a big industrial site by the coast, and had a stray cat who would hang around - encouraged by the cat lover who would feed it regularly and only didn't adopt it because his own cat wouldn't stand for it.

This was a small cat, but a mighty hunter. I've seen it bring down large blackbirds and rats, and apparently it has taken down small seagulls!

Years ago I saw a cat running along the street with a magpie in its mouth. The magpie managed to escape and flew up to a tree and went mental, squawking in rage. 20 seconds later a gang (mischief?) of magpies appeared and chased the terrified cat down the street

I've seen a heron facing off with a cat who fancied hunting along the same stream.

Cat retreated sharpish.

Smart move, Grumpy. The little lad has a halo now!

In my continuing battle with TC I today decided to 'ring' him. It worked - he sat in the tyre (by our open back door) looking decidedly confused for at least 10 minutes Grin

@Fluffycloudland77

I’m sure Tc has those dogs under control.
Perhaps they don't provide the challenge he prefers so that's why he's obsessed with next door.

Three?!*? Surprised TC isn't on the phone to the RSPCA. Poor neglected little love.

BovaryX · 12/09/2020 10:20

I think that picture explains TC's determined campaign to breach Feline Nirvana. They look like a boisterous crew....

PaternosterLoft · 12/09/2020 10:01

Does TC bully the dogs as well?

Sweetpea1532 · 12/09/2020 05:56

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
And PURRS...
From our antidotes it seems like the only beings that cats can boss around are dogs and humans. Grin
@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
Thanks for the pup photo...they are adorable just standing there up to their knees in the water

purrswhileheeats · 11/09/2020 19:04

Poor TC, what a rabble. No wonder he has to slope off and find love next door Grin

So whereas I've never seen TC go in the water - his doggy housemates seem very much at home in the river.

The striped one looks particularly glamorous in his pre attack pictures. The green and purple backdrop suits him. I think a portrait should be commissioned of TC.....

I've never seen TC or any of my cats fishing I'm afraid.
A previous cat of mine did go into the backwater to catch a moorhen once - the moorhen escaped, largely because the cat tried to get through railings but failed due to said moorhen in his mouth.
