@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
This thread has been going for so long I can't remember if you told us whether TC likes to get fish out of your little tributary? I've seen wild cats catch and eat fish...same with mongrel dogs that live at the ocean in Mexico...I always wondered how they eat raw fish without having digestive issues with the bones...I guess they might though as no human is necessarily around to see it.

I saw my neighbour's cat get a right dose of comeuppance once. He was chasing a lizard through the grass( lizard was at least 10 inches long, so he'd been around for awhile) All of a sudden the lizard stopped running, turned around, jumped up and BIT the cat on the cheek!! I almost fainted! The lizard would not let go until the kitty had shaken his head back and forth numerous times....my mouth was hanging open...I don't know who was more surprised, me or kitty! We both learned a new respect for big lizards that dayGrin

If I hadn't been struggling to stop dog from either attempting to eat cat or bolt in opposite direction , I would of filmed it. Bold as brass this feline was. But my auntie had a huge Bengal that stalked people as would leap off the shed roof to attack cuddle them!
Won't be walking down that road for a bit anyway

TC could start his celeb career as a warm-up, that's generally how it works.

Post him to Ricky Gervais. That'll teach the bugger to call himself an animal lover.

@Labellesusage @, I think cats have a way of showing dogs that they are the boss with their superior attitude😼. My Gracie( puggie) once tried to bark at and intimidate my mum's cat...Ha! Mr. Cat showed Gracie right away who was the boss with one swipe of his treacherous paw across her face....that was all it took....from then on Gracie has been very respectful terrified of any feline...she will bark and growl at even the largest dog, but shivers at the sight of a cat. It was very sad to see how downtrodden she was after mum's cat set her straight and then proceeded to make himself comfy by curling up in Gracie's bed without a care in the world!😂

@labellesusage

Does tc live in the northwest?? Just walked the dog and a tc lookalike has just chased us! Poor dog didn't know what to do! Run or counterattack. This tc had serious attitude, was in stalk mode. What kind of cat bloody stalks a dog 😱
The answer is our late Thomas, very handsome white and grey cat but decidedly lacking in the brains department. Any dog was fair game to him 😳🙄 I swear he’d been dropped on his head as a kitten...

That's a great pre-attack face, not at all subtle!

Supersimkin2 · 09/09/2020 21:48

He got overexcited and savaged you out of sheer love.

AnneKipanki · 09/09/2020 21:10

He is looking very striped .

Until he got bored after about two minutes and went into attack mode Grin

Just been communing with TC who, (while sitting on a bike cover in the garden), was quite happy to accept a chin and ear scratch...

How adorable Lenny is!😸
Thanks, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats for posting photos of him...also could you please post more of your other DCats? They need some oohing and awwing over, too...I understand if you are too busy trying to keep up with TC and also your human responsibilities, though.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 05/09/2020 10:20

Lenny was looking very guilty in that first picture ...

Lenny seems uncommonly pleased with himself about all of this.

Lenny is a handsome fellow. I thought the feline denizens of House Grumpy were united with TC against a common enemy, a new furry interloper? Lenny looks unperturbed by his brush with the unruly Thane....

Supersimkin2 · 05/09/2020 09:25

Lenny won! Yay Lenny.

TC, darling, that was a little bit cheeky. Saucypaws!

Extra snack and cuddle all round.

Sweetpea1532 · 05/09/2020 00:36

TC was just trying to have some fun and that mean ole Lenny wasn't having any of it...what a big fat spoil sport!

Sweetpea1532 · 05/09/2020 00:32

Poor little Diddums, TC. That Lenny is a real bully...you can just tell from his photo!Grin

Beaverlac · 04/09/2020 20:42

Poor Lenny? He was the victor!

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/09/2020 19:58

Poor Lenny. He was being a brave boy.

DW and I have just been for a walk with NDN (and the dogs).
It turns out that the little sod had cornered one of our fluffies in the hedge in our garden this morning. Which of course is why he got swiped.
So to answer the question
I wonder what his sparring partner looks like....
It looked very like Lenny Grin
