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

I can't be alone in hoping for a portrait of TC in his Easter Bonnet @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats...?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/04/2020 17:40

I'm sorry to disappoint all those who want to believe that TC has a compassionate side. I'm afraid he has not been comforting our poorly NDN at all. He's apparently very much our male NDN's cat (Mrs NDN relies on the dogs).
TC is still spending all his time here as usual anyway. Here he is trying to get in yesterday and then (after being stymied by me closing the door properly) preventing us from getting back in as revenge.

Ooh yes! I loved TC's official Christmas card pix with the elf hat and the even better one in the slightly too tight red jumper.

Hope Mrs NDN gets better soon Grumpy and that the Grumpy house is you all safe too. How is Karl's tail?

Well you only need to convince one person you’re wonderful in order to get away with blue murder.

MrsCastiel · 14/04/2020 19:21

It's taken me an hour but I've now read both threads

I'm totally in love with TC but I think Sybil is my favourite 😍

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/04/2020 22:38

Very sorry but given the circumstances I don't think that dressing TC up in bunny ears or similar is likely to happen at the moment and I'm certainly not going to risk trying it.
In terms of Karl's tail - it has so far cost over £800 in vet's bills Shock so I bloody hope it's getting better. Karl seems quite happy despite being under anaesthetic today and being shaved even more.

You clearly have exquisite taste Grin

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing to apologise for Grumpy. As it is, you make so many people’s lives better with the saga of TC. As for Karl, he now has one of the most valuable cat tails ever.

Supersimkin2 · 15/04/2020 11:55

Karl and his luxury limited-edition tail will be your proudest and most worthwhile investment Grumpy. Ow, £800. He's been shaved, you've been rinsed. I hope you both feel better soon.

New spontaneous pix the best ever. Much nicer than staged portrait. Is there a market for second-hand Bengals?

AnneKipanki · 15/04/2020 12:47

Grumpy let me in at your window o o o
Need to release some music 🎶

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/04/2020 13:47

And this morning he's in the sun at the front protecting the car (and yes - I know it needs a clean, a new hub-cap and tyre Grin)

We're all women, we only notice the gorgeous cat.

I can spot a little teeny baby fang...

I got told off on a previous thread for still having a dead Christmas tree on the patio probably in May so just thought I'd cover myself Grin

Allergictoironing · 15/04/2020 15:15

Yes but in this thread we are all CAT women. I may notice a car, but unless it catches my eye for good reasons would ignore it (mine is filthy, and I refer to cleaning the inside as mucking out).

Supersimkin2 · 15/04/2020 19:20

I got told off for accidentally including a wine bottle once. Women check backgrounds of shots, eyes narrowed to slits Grin

Allergictoironing · 15/04/2020 19:54

By "good reasons" I mean if it was a car I particularly liked Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/04/2020 10:57

TC is taking his morning ablutions with an audience.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/04/2020 11:00

He's now realised he's been spotted Grin

To be fair, that bottle was standing out like the proverbial dog's balls.

7Worfs · 16/04/2020 14:29

Gosh that was more TC than I expected Grin

Supersimkin2 · 16/04/2020 14:44

@YetAnotherSpartacus never apologise, you reminded me it was there Grin

TC pointing out there's still no loo roll near you eh Grumpy.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/04/2020 14:52

I'm never apologising again now someone on another thread has said Karl looks like a mobile toilet cleaner. Shock.

Even if they do have a point

OP posts:
Supersimkin2 · 16/04/2020 15:59

Eh? How, pray? Libel, that is. Flowers @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats, some people's sense of humour has gone a bit wonky under emergency conditions. Blame any bonkers on lockdown. Tsk.

Hope the splendiferous tail is ok.

MrAlyhakinsMassiveYacht · 16/04/2020 19:39

To be fair, it's not a very flattering trim.

chunkyrun · 16/04/2020 19:41

Still can't believe you've not given him full run of house by now
