TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

Sybil! How did you get up there?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/10/2020 13:51

I opened the window for her to go out - she obviously thought it would be more entertaining to jump to the top of the window frame instead. She has form for this.

It doesn't look like a very comfortable perch Grin

Supersimkin2 · 15/10/2020 18:17

She's not taking any prisoners.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/10/2020 18:45

I find it very disturbing when she does this on windows upstairs. Shock

Perfect spot to ambush TC if he spots the open window Grin

Ellmau · 16/10/2020 00:05

Hope you don't get any high winds!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 16/10/2020 12:40

We should take a vote. Who would prefer to be on TC's bad side and who would prefer to be on Sybil's bad side (given a choice between the two)?

I'm edging towards TC ...

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/10/2020 12:45

Went downstairs (having just taken the central heating man upstairs to the boiler) to discover this in my kitchen...
He hissed at me but didn't actually attack this time on his exit - he's getting better Grin.

@YetAnotherSpartacus
Personally I can cope with being physically abused by TC far better than having to face Sybil's contempt (Hell hath no fury like a Sybil scorned and all that) Grin

He's very good at getting in, isn't he.

CassandraCross · 16/10/2020 16:04

The look on TC's face - so haughty!

purrswhileheeats · 16/10/2020 16:24

@CassandraCross

The look on TC's face - so haughty!
It's a 'What ya gonna do about it huh?' look isn't it. But with a hint of 'oh shit, he miiight just kick me out so I'll pretend I was leaving anyway...' 😅
BovaryX · 16/10/2020 16:55

TC looks so distinguished and as if he wants to stay. Poor TC, his relentless attempts to inveigle himself into House Grumpy....

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/10/2020 11:10

Sounded like WW3 late last night - went out to discover Lenny on a chair slapping TC who was on the ground below the table. There was a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth (and even Sybil ran outside to join in) - but no damage done on either side.
Back to normal this morning.

I thought Sybil was thawing towards TC after those Romeo and Juliet pictures earlier this year, is Lenny jealous?

Sweetpea1532 · 19/10/2020 17:29

@CassandraCross
Ha! That was all a ruse on Sybil's part to make Lenny jealous so he would finally jump in and defend her honor...then she could join in the foray and together they could protect Fort Grumpy from enemy #1 TC once and for all.....appears TC didn't get the message and has decided to use his death ray vision to evaporate his foe. Unbeknownst to him, Fort Grumpy has death ray proof windows..but he's giving his all!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/10/2020 10:47

Just spotted TC strolling down the garden, jumping on the boat and disappearing under the boat cover. He's bloody camping in my garden now! Shock

I dare you to also leap into the boat. And drive off in it. That would learn him Grin Although also put me in mind of the man with the sack of skydiving cats.

AnneKipanki · 22/10/2020 11:38

Everything is his domain , you are just an interloper @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Grin

nettie434 · 22/10/2020 16:05

AnneKipanki is right. In TC's opinion, your only role is to provide him with interesting resting places.

Mind you, thinking about what OnCandyStripeLegs wrote about sailing off on the boat, if a nefarious villain took your boat, TC would make a good guard cat for the boat. Imagine starting up the boat, only to be met by Those Teeth and Those Claws, not to mention the TC Fearsome Stare.

Supersimkin2 · 22/10/2020 19:29

TC's taken some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

Dat tail doe....

YetAnotherSpartacus · 25/10/2020 09:47

That tail (disappearing into the boat) is very serpent-like!

Supersimkin2 · 29/10/2020 12:11

Are you still alive @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats? Or has TC finally won.
