Sitting outside enjoying the weather. Ours have been pottering about wandering in and out.
TC is making a bid for the door (getting up, stretching, then sitting down again a bit closer).
Basil and Lenny currently have different ideas.

He's sooooo close. He could almost stretch a paw over the threshold.

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 29/03/2021 15:36

TC in stealth mode. I love it.

The good weather means that Stripes has become omnipresent.
Currently looking very relaxed on a tree stump in the garden.

Sybil is on the table and TC is below, gazing yearningly at her Grin

More evidence. I'm convinced there's a 'come hither' look in his eyes Shock

AnneKipanki · 30/03/2021 19:06

There is .

Supersimkin2 · 30/03/2021 22:42

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

TC has the most regal of posesGrin

Sweetpea1532 · 31/03/2021 00:01

Heehee, love his little feetzies braced against the wall in garden table photo...ready to pounce at a seconds noticeGrin

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 31/03/2021 10:15

I want to squoogle TC. But first I shall don a suit of armour and have paramedics on standby.

CassandraCross · 31/03/2021 16:20

That tree stump poseGrin.

Without a doubt, plus he's showing his wonderful abdomen - all taut and tonedWink, how could Sybil resist!

Picture of TC in stealth creeping up to and into the door mode reminds me our Border Collie, no not ours she was my husbands through and through, he used to tell her to lie down and stay and as soon as he turned his back or took his eyes off her she would shuffle forward to be closer to him, very subtly, very slowly until she was where she wanted to be right up close and personal to him.

TC has just joined me on the patio table.
I think I may be boring him.

Shortly after the above picture he went into his usual scratchy bitey mode Grin

That is an impressive set of fangs .

Sweetpea1532 · 01/04/2021 18:50

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
That's what you get for being so boring...you gotta step up your game, Grumpy....and anyway, who gave you permission to blast a photo of TCs tonsils all over the Internet ?Grin

Sweetpea1532 · 01/04/2021 18:52

@AnneKipanki
Those ARE impressive fangs!
Is this what the inside of all cats' mouth look like, Grumpy, or are TC fangs unusually long?

AnneKipanki · 01/04/2021 18:54

I am amazed at how wide he can open too !

I think TC's fangs are fairly standard - Basil's fangs to compare and contrast.

Wow!

Supersimkin2 · 01/04/2021 21:22

Saucy paws! How was the GP Grumpy.

Sweetpea1532 · 02/04/2021 00:57

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
Those are scary! I had no idea....your cat cred level just went up exponentially for braving the mighty TC's shenanigans after seeing those fangs.

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 02/04/2021 10:21

I am in awe of Grumpy. Anyone who is willing to take on TC is courageous, in my book.

I have just discovered this and spent far too much time the last few days reading threads one and two. Love it.

My favourite is Basil, who strongly reminds me of my parents' cat who sadly had to be PTS last autumn after a series of strokes, though she'd had 16 lovely years with them. Not sure how old she was as she was rescued by a vet who'd found her living feral in the woods near his house.
