Thug Cat part 2. What, has this thing appeared again tonight?

[Grumpyoldpersonwithcats]

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

TC part 1

Say what you like about TC, lockdown hasn't affected his motivation or pursuit of his customary activities. He's turning up for daily duty fresh as a daisy.

I bet he wishes he could work from home though.

Not his own home!

"I'll make sure I'm all really clean and sparkly then they will be bound to let me in"

Poor old TC.

MMMMMM!!!!! Tasty.

Come on, we all know it's his home - hence the confusion over the closed doors and evil attacks from his cat friends.

Sybil is very unimpressed with TC following her today.
I feel a bit sorry for her at the moment. She's terrified of the lampshade monster, Lenny chases her and now TC is following her around.
I've provided Dreamies - they seem to got her purr working again

Poor TC! Unrequited in love :(

I'm not surprised that poor Sybil is terrified of the mobile toilet brush!

Happy post-trauma cat (I'll pretend she isn't on the kitchen table)

I think I may be in love with Sybil!

Dreamies solve any number of kitty issues...deli catz treats are the absolute favourite here (and have to be locked away or they will be stolen by a little furry thief!).

TC is plighting his troth rather forcefully. Poor Sybil, being hassled, she needs a solo spot to chill. Have you ever tried to pick TC up Grumpy?

I love the way Shakespearean language, quotes and comparisons keep dropping into this thread!

TC threads - amusing, heartwarming and literary.

On the old thread there is rather a wonderful photo of poor TC being picked up by NDN.

True confession time - I have on rare occasions picked TC up to move him (very carefully and only when he's in a good mood). He doesn't tend to scratch when you do - but you really have to avoid his teeth.

@CassandraCross Now that the first installment has gone onto classics - I like to think of these threads as a treasury of everlasting joy .

I was very impressed with 'plighting his troth' earlier. It is a matter of deep regret to me that that phase is used so infrequently.

These threads are most certainly a treasury of everlasting joy Grumpy and I agree that plighting of troth is definitely a phrase that should be used more often.

I bet he was lovely and fudgy, even if you have to keep your main neck artery away from his playful little toothypegs.

Sometimes if you pick a cat up it annoys them just enough to stop doing what they were at; passive aggressive petcare at its finest. I thought it might come in handy for TC's advances to poor besieged Sybil.

Picking a cat up and kissing them can put them off doing anything for life.

@Allergictoironing truth be told, we are all in love with Sybil

DW and I are just sitting on the garden steps enjoying the sun (and an iced coffee ).

TC has decided to join us to sunbathe while leaning on my foot.

Fang at the ready , and one eye open!

He was actually very relaxed - he even allowed me to (briefly) tickle his tum without savaging me!

He is a beauty. Look at his shy smile of hope and love!

Just a teeny little incisor peeking out for a cheeky look.

He luffs you!

I have noticed that it is exactly one year since I posted my first TC update.

It appears that TC's charm offensive may be paying off. We were playing with Karl on the balcony (safe for a cat with a lampshade) and I spotted this going on below.

Crikey. Is Sybil succumbs he’ll move in.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats is your NDN's cat an 'only' cat? He might be lonely and wants to play with your cats and have some other cat company!
