TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

Chatting with Mrs NDN yesterday only to discover that TC goes out of his way to savage her too. She related that the previous day TC had walked calmly past two people in the house and then flew at her ankle without warning Grin.
TC spent five hours yesterday camped on the roof of our yellow car. He only got off mid afternoon when it started to rain.

He is so magnificent!

AnneKipanki · 07/10/2020 07:30

He is !

Supersimkin2 · 07/10/2020 08:34

King of all he surveys. The sun never sets on TC's empire.

Mrs NDN gets Fucidin and new trousers for Xmas. A small price to pay for hosting The Emperor.

The photo in which TC is reclining on Grumpy's car is his Lion in Trafalgar Square Pose. Hope Mrs NDN's ankles survived the onslaught. I fear that everyone in TC's neighbourhood needs to wear thick socks and safety boots at all times. Of course that is a small price to pay for the honour of providing resting spots and lookout posts for TC (let alone the occasional purloined meal).

The magnificent striped one and his savannah glare...

She's probably relieved when he decamps to your place :)
YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/10/2020 12:27

So, what's he been up to?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/10/2020 14:02

TC has been doing much the same as usual; having disagreements with Karl, miaowing outside our front door at 5.30 in the morning, using our cars as vantage points etc.
He's currently (having accepted a stroke with reasonably good grace) doing his ablutions on the patio table.

Poor misunderstood urchin.

He's making sure his paws are clean before he wanders into your house/onto your car/rips your arms off*

Mandala Get him next week, he's too little to leave alone.

Little soft paws, tender fur, sensitive face...it's only when you see the glint in Side Eye of Satan that you realise the bravery that is @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/10/2020 18:53

As an aside I was at an sculpture exhibition over the weekend and spotted this. Has TC got a secret modelling career?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/10/2020 19:31

I love that sculpture! Did it have a price tag?

😂😂😂

TC would benefit from anger management classes and community service 😠

BovaryX · 13/10/2020 20:45

That sculpture is rather wonderful and very evocative of TC. An artist's muse. Another one of TC's hidden talents.....

nettie434 · 13/10/2020 22:26

That made me laugh PurrsWhileheeats Grin I now have an image of TC in a dayglo onesie marked 'community payback' being told to wash Grumpy's car or empty Sybil et al's litter trays!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/10/2020 22:49

TC has done many things but thus far has never thrown a phone at me Grin.

I really liked the 'TC' sculpture too - genuinely captured the cat essence. Priced at £725.

He would argue Grumpy and family would benefit from welcoming classes and hospitality service.

As far as he's concerned the only issue is no one else recognising that he lives in both his house and Grumpy's, and when I say house I mean entire estate and all chattels contained within. Obviously therefore he should be allowed to sit on cars and barbecues and indeed boats, and to come in and eat all the food and enjoy the company of all the cats. Especially those whom he has saved from the Evil Cat of Poodletailgate.

The total indifference and lack of appreciation must really rankle with him, it's not surprising sometimes he seems a little cantankerous Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/10/2020 11:53

He really never gives up...
This morning I heard a scuffle between TC and Karl so went out to tell TC off. He responded by hissing at me and swiping my leg. He then decided to try and break in.
