TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

Haven't seen the grey and white thug for months thank goodness.
And Karl's tail is more or less back to normal Smile.

How is the tail re-growth going?
And sign of the second evil cat?

Karl, from his vantage point atop the bin, is now spying on TC.

I'm also delighted to report that our cats visit next door. NDN just sent me this photo of Lenny wandering onto his workshop.

So to answer some of the queries above...
TC is an only cat, but shares the house with a menagerie including three dogs.
I'd love to think he only attacks bites me, but he's indiscriminate and attacks anyone (including NDN) if he feels like it.
I do pick him up occasionally - but NEVER to stop him doing something.
And he's been monopolizing the car for the last week. - photos from earlier today.

What has the darling boy been up to? And didn't your neighbours have COVID? Are they OK now?

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

I can't remember if you've ever mentioned whether TC bites anyone else but you. I loved hearing how he jumped into the auto of your visitors and was a perfect gentleman Grin

BovaryX · 26/08/2020 12:20

Gosh, he really is such a regal, handsome chap! He looks like he's contemplating a test drive in more annexed territory....

EachandEveryone · 26/08/2020 01:02

Is he an only child?

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/08/2020 21:01

What would he have done if you’d tried to pick him up?.

PaternosterLoft · 25/08/2020 18:18

How closely do you park the cars? Could he drape himself between the two to thwart all car-related abandonment?

You have another car though, right?

Yes - we got very dirty looks when we left in it Grin

TC won't let us use our car to go out...

Handsome boy!

CassandraCross · 23/08/2020 10:31

Ah I have missed the magnificent TC, he is looking very majestic in those pictures.

Fluffycloudland77 · 23/08/2020 10:23

He just got a bit over excited and didn’t know what to do with himself.

Supersimkin2 · 23/08/2020 10:17

Sometimes they bite you out of sheer love.

The weather has been a bit rubbish so TC hasn't been around too much of late.
However he turned up yesterday, relaxing on the boat and actually seemed pleased to see me. He ran up to me, jumped on the table for a fuss - then bit me.
Ah - how I've missed him. Grin

Delighted that the last thread has rightly made its way into Classics. I also like the new literary persona for TC as the Sad Romantic Hero.

Glad the NDNs have found their corn snake (it must be like living next to Gerald Durrell). I thought TC was more likely to have eaten it than the other way round and I am sorry for maligning TC.

TheSparklyPussycat · 19/08/2020 00:23

Your cats have large bowls?

Supersimkin2 · 18/08/2020 20:56

IMHO, size of a turtle soup tureen or cat bowl.

I assume a terrapin too. He was big - size of a large dinner plate.
