TC was waiting at the front of the house this morning when I got back from dropping DS2.

I picked him up for a stroke - only got bitten once Grin

He lured you into a false sense of security when you picked him up. His tabby markings look like a tree's growth rings

ABCDay · 25/11/2020 08:55

Aw, look at his sweet, innocent little face Smile

FannysSteadiedBuffs · 25/11/2020 08:59

Ah but was he was waiting for you - or was he waiting for you to return the car so that he could sleep on it?

And also you picked him up for a stroke Shock Have you learnt nothing?

I love the night photo. He is watching over you and protecting you from evil.

cakeandchampagne · 25/11/2020 11:13

You could probably get a cute little Santa hat on him for about three bites. Smile

YetAnotherSpartacus · 25/11/2020 11:15

I'd pay to see a picture of TC in a tiny Santa Hat.

I'd mortgage the house for reindeer horns.

nettie434 · 25/11/2020 12:55

I seem to remember Grumpy posted a photo of TC next to a Santa hat last Christmas, YetAnotherSpartacus. We can only hope it was a precursor of TC wearing the hat. Even better was a pic of TC in a red jumper which was slightly too small for his imposing frame. It was very funny and the fact that Grumpy posted it for us all to laugh at admire may explain some of TC's attacks on Grumpy! I always imagine TC reading this thread, a bit like a celeb avidly perusing social media to see what is being said about them.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 25/11/2020 13:19

I'm prepared Shock

Metal working gloves and a full welding mask required I would think!

I was expecting a Bupa subscription and/or paperwork for a Priory admission.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 25/11/2020 13:34

Practice on your four first, Grumpy!

AnneKipanki · 25/11/2020 13:57

TC is in a CATegory all by himself.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 27/11/2020 08:22

HE KNOWS!!!!!

When I opened the curtains this morning TC came bounding up to the door as usual. I went outside to say hello (while surreptitiously holding reindeer antlers behind my back). TC took one look at me and then legged it back over his fence.

If nothing else I may finally have discovered a way of keeping him 'orf moi land' Grin.

Poundland elf outfit and it's all over.

IsFinnRogersDead · 27/11/2020 11:18

Can you get one of these and hang it up on a coat hanger in the window to ward off the evil?

😂
That would be some feat getting TC into a Christmas jumper.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 27/11/2020 14:26

Just cast your minds back to last year...

What, when your neighbour needed his arm surgically re-attaching? Grin

Bless him. No wonder he wants to move in with you if that's how they treat him. That said, he would look lovely in that jumper with the antlers.

purrswhileheeats · 27/11/2020 16:11

That photo of TC reminds me of my dad on Christmas morning when he's tried on the jumper from my mum in a medium instead of a large - it's her passive aggressive way of telling him to lose weight Grin

AnneKipanki · 27/11/2020 19:29

His filled with joy ! You can see it written all over his face not !

AnneKipanki · 27/11/2020 19:30

Talk about Death Stare !

Cailleach1 · 27/11/2020 19:38

That photo is brilliant. The long suffering look on his face. From tiger to fireside tabby.

Supersimkin2 · 27/11/2020 20:40

Mournful reproach, with a hint of invading Poland.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 27/11/2020 21:58

a hint of invading Poland Grin

He did look particularly grumpy in that picture &
I don't blame him.

I don't believe in dressing up animals (except on this one occasion seven years ago when one of my cats had to wear a 'small dog' jumper to protect an operation site)
