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's name remains a Mumsnet mystery on NDN''s request.

We now always refer to him as TC anyway

But I can confirm that it is neither 'Fluffy' nor 'Nigel'

or can I?

I think a belly rub might be a tad ambitious, could result in a trip to A&E.....

I do like the mystery@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats.

I do like Thane of Cawdor too . I always read it in my head as ...of 'something' of Greyskull after a TV cartoon I used to watch when I was little.

AnneKipanki

Thane of Cawdor suits the Shakespearean melancholy of TC. He is a tragic, magnificent feline....

I feel TC could be a Merlin, seems to suit him 🤔

I can't recall who suggested Thane ..Bovaryx

Annekipanki
I think it was me, in honour of his regal, tragic qualities....

Very fitting @Bovaryx

At NDN's this evening.

I ticked his tum. He licked me - then bit me p

Devil 😈

To confirm.

I tickled TC's tum NOT NDN's

I’m sure it was a love bite though.

The licks are just soften you up before he goes for the full chomp.
This thread is lovely btw, thank you

From TC’s perspective, he can’t get into Cat Nirvana (Grumpyoldpersoneithcats’s house) but Grumpyoldperson can come into his. That bite was an existential protest against this cruel injustice.

I like not knowing TC’s real name too (and love Thane of Cawdor, *Bovary). I even wonder if TC would lose his power over us if we all knew he was really called Nigel or Fluffy?

That bite was an existential protest against this cruel injustice

nettie I think so too. TC is a such a handsome devil, even if irascible. And to emerge with only a slight nibble after tickling his tum? That's regal love from The Thane of Cawdor...

Is his real name Mr Tiddles?

I'm afraid I can neither confirm nor deny any suggestions concerning Mr Tiddles TC's real name

Spartacus do you have a cat like that in your neighborhood?

I just love this thread, whenever I feel down in the dumps I read the whole thing (1&2) and it cheers me up no end

I think TC's name is either Homer or Ross (as in Ross Kemp, not Ross Geller) 🤔

I think it’s better not knowing his name. It can be whatever you want it to be then.

@Nonstopbuttmachine
I'm delighted that TC's capers cheer you up.
Are you suggesting that TC could stand for Therapy Cat?

Slightly unimpressed with TC today - he had a right run in with Lenny this morning, it sounded as if they were murdering each other - but I suspect it was all show. Lenny seemed completely unphased about 5 minutes later anyway

As for the Thug - he was back on the fish tank next door when I was round this evening.
