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

Just opened the door to let Sybil in.

TC and Basil are clearly having a chat...

It's a hands-on-table meeting :)

Put me in mind of Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough (Cissy and Ada??)

Is Basil saying "Keep your hands where I can see them!"

Or

Is TC saying "See these hands? Think carefully about how they can be used"

Basil is so luscious and shiny. I’d just love to pet him.

He really is YetAnotherSpartacus I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful, shiny black coat, what's the secret Grumpy?

what's the secret Grumpy?

Quality moggy genes?

It certainly isn't a result of us grooming him (we really must get round to it - all four cats leave mountains of fluff wherever they go)

And Basil says thank you for the compliments.

Basil looks like he's a bit bored with all the adulation! :)

I thought you were going to say you spent hours meticulously grooming and a special diet (which is why TC always wants the food available in the Grumpy household!) but superior genes it is!

To Basil - you're welcome! (good teeth too!)

The pictures of TC with his glorious stripey paws through the railings are epic! So he finally managed to break into Feline Nirvana, but his lunch date was short lived because of behaviour unbecoming.....

Stripes has been taking advantage of the Mediterranean style weather to bask on our patio all afternoon. He even licked my hand when I went to say hello.
Our cats are to tired to be bothered.

The very picture of kitty loveliness. Stripes and flowers!

I was thinking how svelte he looked until that last photo.

Still looks at home in all of them...

Lovely 😻

Hes so cheeky.

A smugly, satisfied smile!

An Ode to TC

Sometimes he's a thug
Sometimes he's a Thane
And when he breaks in
He's sometimes a pain
That wild feline heart
Those striped feline paws
On mumsnet and beyond
He is always adored

The exploits of TC
His furry travails
Have captured our hearts
And always delight
And we know he loves
House Grumpy and its cats
And feline Nirvana
Is just where he's at

The tale has been told
Of adventure so bold
And his brave request
For final conquest
For TC you see
He's tried and he's tried
The Thane of Cawdor
How much he's adored

Beautiful @BovaryX !

Congratulations @BovaryX, lovely.

@AnneKipanki @Supersimkin2
Glad you like it! This thread has been a poetic inspiration and TC deserves an ode....

@BovaryX - quite brilliant .

Not sure what TC thought of it though...

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats TC looks either bored or outraged!

That's brilliant, Bovary 👏🏻👏🏻 I am sure TC feels flattered. Surely he is just receiving his adulation in the way a Roman emperor would?

Well done Bovary!

As for TC - he does look rather Tiger Like in that last picture. I'm hearing the 'roooooooaaaarrrr'.
