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

@HowDoesTheCow lovely, thanks.

TC is exquisite. He was biting you out of sheer love, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats.

Poor little misunderstood lad, helpless scrap of fur.

purrswhileheeats · 13/03/2020 16:18

TC is definitely a southpaw @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Shock

purrswhileheeats · 13/03/2020 16:20

And in the 'heavyweight' category Grin

AnneKipanki · 13/03/2020 16:51

The camera puts on 10 pounds .

7Penguins · 13/03/2020 18:14

How many cameras did Grumpy hold? 🤭

HowDoesTheCow · 13/03/2020 20:38

He's comfort eating. To make up for the repeated rejection from Grumpy and Mrs Grumpy and all their cats.

BovaryX · 18/03/2020 08:04

Best wishes to everyone on here, Grumpy, The Thane of Cawdor, Prince of Stripes and all the other cats and their servants. Stay safe everyone and hope brighter days are ahead.

Want2beme · 18/03/2020 08:48

Thanks BovaryX. Same to you and your furry friends. Save cat kisses until this has all passed - we can pass it onto them, apparently. I'd say TC doesn't allow kissesGrin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/03/2020 09:13

Thanks all - keep well everyone. Looking for any silver lining; at least when we do get locked down the cats will be pleased. Until the food runs out

I'll also have even more time to report on TC's escapades Shock

Excellent news Grumpy! Looking forward to updates about The Thane and his stripy shenanigans! He is a ray of Bengal sunshine in troubled times.....

Really? I read we can't. Do you have a source for this?

I have heard that if you give a cat a kiss whilst infected and then someone else kisses the cat they can be infected from the virus you left behind in your saliva from the kiss as well as having a nasty case of cat-scratch fever if the cat feels over-kissed

BovaryX · 18/03/2020 10:09

Blimey, is cat kissing common? If I tried to 'kiss' either of my wild felines, I would require a trip to ER... As for tummy tickling? Hell no. Wouldn't dream of attempting that move....

Want2beme · 18/03/2020 11:24

YetAnotherSpartacus it was just last week I heard something about not kissing pets because things are uncertain. They probably can't catch the virus, but since hearing that, I'm just being cautious about kissing them. They'll be fine, I just want to be careful, that's all.

ShadyAcromat · 18/03/2020 11:33

Are we double daring Grumpy to kiss TC now?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/03/2020 17:50

I don't kiss cats (I have been known to rub noses with them though Grin).
I certainly wouldn't try either with TC.

Allergictoironing · 18/03/2020 18:37

What, no blowing raspberries on the floofy tummies? Sad Too late for me now, may as well continue Wink.

Though I don't think I would do that to TC...

AnneKipanki · 18/03/2020 20:16

Very risky business @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats .

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/03/2020 12:11

So TC is taking advantage of the facilities and looking cute and relaxed on the outside table.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/03/2020 12:13

Unfortunately I made the mistake of saying hello and stroking his head. Full on attack through my jumper...

He’s social distancing.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/03/2020 12:20

NDN joked that he'd dip TC's paws in detol just in case he'd caught anything off me Grin.

BovaryX · 22/03/2020 13:09

TC looking very dapper! Good to see he is unperturbed by the pandemic. He certainly has some lethal scimitar claws though...

ShadyAcromat · 22/03/2020 13:12

Good grief. You can look but you can't touch Shock

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/03/2020 13:21

Ours are very sensibly keeping the correct social distance from TC.

OP posts:
Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/03/2020 13:32

And now Lenny is having a look.

All is very peaceful with the cats at present - TC really does seem to think he lives here.
