I hope the literary TC will not object to being referred to as a thing.

Excellent! 😼

Supersimkin2 · 12/12/2019 10:10

Any pic of that megatum to start the fun?

Little TC, so misunderstood.

Some background for anyone joining this thread anew.
NDN's cat has been trying to break into our house for several years. Alas my cats (especially Sybil) really don't like him.
Attached are a few shots of his attrition over the last 8 months or so.

And a few more of the beast pointing out that he owns our property!

Love TC ! Crown Smile

AllYouGoodGoodPeople · 12/12/2019 14:08

Isn't there one of him eating your arm, Grumpy?

Shesalittlemadam · 12/12/2019 16:01

Love this!

BovaryX · 12/12/2019 16:51

TC aka The Thane of Cawdor. In all his stripey glory. Looking forward to more tales of him breaching the walls of Feline Nirvana....

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/12/2019 19:06

Ahhh poor TC, bearing gifts 'n all .

I do like TC, and I'm #TeamBlackCat but I do have to say Sybil is a stunning looking cat and there should be pictures of her too .

YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/12/2019 14:02

Love the title, even if it is Hamlet and not Macbeth! Let’s hope the stripy thing continues to haunt you.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/12/2019 15:52

No pictures today - but a puzzle.
Yesterday our front step was mousageddon with four dead mice and voles. (Pretty sure the 'kittens' are responsible)
Today - all gone. Checked with DW but nobody in the house admits to removing them.
I suspect TC of stealing them to pass off as his own to his owner...

Just back from a concert - and there are two, clearly second hand, mouse corpses by the front door.
What are these bloody cats playing at?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/12/2019 00:15

Dunno. But you are clearly freaked, so whatever it is they are playing it well. Maybe TC is wooing Sybil?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/12/2019 11:02

And they've gone again this morning.
When I titled this thread I was referring to TC - not to rancid rodent cadavers.
As an aside NDN said that TC is bringing quite a few mice in at present - but he drops them in the garden and then one of the dogs eats them.

Actually, I do rather think you 'asked for it' with that title ... omens and all that. I would have thought that the witch's song would have suited TC -

"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good"

There's your shopping list TC!

Nonstopbuttmachine · 14/12/2019 11:59

second hand mouse corpses 😂😂😂 Might steal this for a name change 🤔😅

Any news on the nomination of your first thread to Classics Grumpy? It's been nominated at least three times

AnniePankettonne · 14/12/2019 19:11

Maybe we should look.
Maybe TC can deposit gifts at MNHQ.
