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

Oh my Goodness! That look of pure bliss! Does her purr?

Lovely photos.

Maybe DW is very precise in her timing, hitting the sweet spot of a millisecond between “You may pet me, human” and “MEET YOUR DOOM”?

Wow!

ShadyAcromat · 28/03/2020 15:06

He obviously knows who is boss in the Grumpy household Grin

Hitler sucked up to Stalin like mad to make the 1939 Pact of Non-Aggression.

History tells us:

'For Hitler, the pact provided a guarantee that he could invade first Poland, then France and most of the rest of western Europe, without having to worry about any threat from the east.'

TC looks positively angelic! A most affectionate Prince of Stripe....

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 01/04/2020 13:25

And now TC appears to have assumed that the Grumpy household has provided him with a scratching post...

He's forgiven - he appears to have brought me a mouse Grin

He's volunteering to help locals delivering food in lockdown!

Such a selfless, caring kitty.

  1. the Grumpy household has provided him with a scratching post yes your arm
  2. I bet if you swabbed the outside of that mouse for DNA it would not match TC's. He's just found it.

TC King of The Castle!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 02/04/2020 10:44

Which one is on the car? TC looks like one of the gang there! Fake it till you make it TC!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/04/2020 11:22

Lenny was on the step and Karl was being the bonnet mascot.

Who’s guarding Tc’s house while he’s guarding your house though?.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 02/04/2020 11:40

Where does Sybil spend her time? :)

BovaryX · 02/04/2020 13:45

Grin TC is being very sociable. He is looking quite chilled with the feline crew.....maybe entry to Nirvana draws closer.....

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/04/2020 14:44

Who’s guarding Tc’s house while he’s guarding your house though

The three dogs? Or their enormous corn snake Grin

OP posts:
Fluffycloudland77 · 02/04/2020 17:49

Maybe TC trained the dogs. That’s why he feels comfortable being at your house so much.

purrswhileheeats · 02/04/2020 22:40

I love how Grumpy keeps providing pictures and tales of TC during these dark times (no pressure, Grumpy Wink)

I do need to ask though, are you not a Simpsons fan?

Supersimkin2 · 02/04/2020 23:12

Have they really got a massive snake @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats?

I really, really want a snake but Capn V won't have it. Maybe TC doesn't appreciate the exotic pet either.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/04/2020 23:14

Well spotted. Karl and Lenny were indeed named after the Simpsons characters - but they were named by Battersea not us.
Whereas Basil and Sibyl Sybil are, of course, taken from The Picture of Dorian Gray.

@Supersimkin2
Yes they have a corn snake that is now over 6ft long (they are only supposed to get to about 5ft). Shock

It's incredible how many tiny little beige corn snakes, barely the size of a pencil, turn into 20-foot gold pythons.

That happened to my cousin. The man at the Crouch End Pet Shop said it's eating dead mice as does it.
