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

TC has moved nearer the door (bloody ninja cat).

Current positions.

Oh that looks nasty @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats z

nettie434 · 22/03/2020 14:38

Ouch, that does look nasty Grumpyoldpersonwithcats. Does TC ever fight with your cats or are you his only victim? Thanks for the photos by the way - photos of ‘normal’ things much appreciated!

Supersimkin2 · 22/03/2020 18:53

TC is flirting with Lenny. Maybe that's why Sybil's got the arse with him.

Superb shots, by the way. Keep us all sane and giggly.

If you keep tea tree oil in med cupboard it takes the pain right out of cat scratches.

I used to use it loads on dh when Asbo was a kitten.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/03/2020 21:08

Thanks for sympathy and hints for the TC mauling. To be honest I've had cats for so long that I just accept the odd savaging as part of the deal.

Also glad that I've been keeping you all cheerful in these times of doom and gloom Grin.

@nettie434

They do have mild run-ins occasionally (especially Sybil and TC) but they usually choose to ignore each other and pretend they haven't seen each other.

I am laughing imagining them pretending not to have seen each other Grumpy. ‘Oh, TC, I was miles away, just thinking about some cat treats. I didn’t realise you were on the doorstep/water butt/table etc.’

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 23/03/2020 15:04

Stripey Thug and Basil are both on the patio - just under two metres from each other. They're clearly paying attention to the news

You want Fucidin on that arm Grumpy. Brilliant antibiotic cream.

The doc won't see you if they're anything like the London ones, so email them that pic and one of TC 'smiling'.

You won't need to ask for the larger tube. Keeps well in the fridge.

Allergictoironing · 23/03/2020 15:31

Ah the voice of experience there Super Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 23/03/2020 23:53

Oh bloody hell.
Just going to bed when Basil launched himself at the window and started growling at a black and white cat who was staring in.
Never seen this cat before, but we were woken up by a scuffle in the wee small hours yesterday and assumed it was TC and Lenny - NDN told us today that he'd heard it and TC had been inside at the time.
More cat wars?

Leave the intruder to TC. Some problems are good to have.

What's our favourite furry patrol officer going to do now it's lockdown? Does attacking you count as exercise?

Suspect the B&W Cat is a recruit to the TC Army.

You may all be right.

TC is outside again this morning. Perfectly happy to accept me stroking his head. I'd swear the little bugger is smirking at me!

OP posts:
BovaryX · 24/03/2020 10:17

He looks positively majestic
Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/03/2020 10:25

The word that comes to mind is sprawled.
Here's one from inside the house - showing off his fat belly Grin.

Gosh Grumpy he looks very happy! I guess because he can bask in the sunshine, he's looking very regal. SprawledGrin

ShadyAcromat · 24/03/2020 11:10

Is it wrong to want to see TC get throughly owned by the B&W cat?

BovaryX · 24/03/2020 11:21

Not only wrong. But sacrilege.

Supersimkin2 · 24/03/2020 13:15

Ticklesome tum, that.

Try and get one of his sweet little nibbly teeth, Grumpy, so you can show your doc.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 25/03/2020 07:52

Team TC for me! but still think that B&W cat is his offsider, lieutenant and henchman (or woman)

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 25/03/2020 12:16

TC is back again this morning.
Lulling me into a false sense of security by looking all cute...

OP posts:
Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 25/03/2020 12:19

And then trying to break in through the door
