TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

TC then tried to walk in through the front door while we were chatting.

What did your NDN do then?

CassandraCross · 15/04/2021 12:35

You provided a perfect perch, Grumpy, I bet you didn't dare move or even breathe!!

"Ha! See Lenny and Sybil! @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
is MY human...ALL mine!" says TC Grin

Yes!! TC has so far appropriated the cars, the boat, the patio, the patio table, the patio chairs, the garden, occasionally the sacred inner sanctum, now the male human (I believe TC has previously claimed the female human?), the takeover is very close to completion.

@CassandraCross
You have solved the mystery of TC's tenacious!

Sweetpea1532 · 15/04/2021 18:16

TENACITY!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/04/2021 18:23

I believe TC has previously claimed the female human?
I think not! Mrs Grumpy is made of FAR sterner stuff than that!

The worst that happens to her is being slapped by TC when she walks past him.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

That's right,Grumpy.....I remember now that Mrs. Grumpy rules the roost....you were in big trouble the last time you allowed TC in the house.
TC knows who is in charge and that he'd better not step out of line. Easter Grin

TC will breach those defences, it is part of the Master Plan.

Although I am sure I've seen pictures of Mrs Grumpy's hand stroking TC without incident on earlier threads?

Someone (ds1 who is back from uni for a few days) left the patio door ajar.
Came in to find TC taking advantage.
Mrs Grumpy hissed at TC to go away - TC just looked up at her and hissed back Grin

TC seems to be on constant watch for any breaches in the defences of Grumpy's house. I couldn't believe the photo of him sitting on your lap, Grumpy. I can only assume it gave him a better vantage point for something or other. Or to get you on his side so it is easier to get into the Grumpy Citadel. TC is a master tactician.

purrswhileheeats · 20/04/2021 16:09

Grumpy do you realise it's two years to the day that TC made his debut on Mumsnet? Shock

I think you, NDN and of course TC should receive some sort of lifetime recognition/award for raising morale during these testing times ⭐💯😹

Oh dear. Grin

TC and Sybil are celebrating their mumsnet anniversary by relaxing on the patio within 3 feet of each other.

Look at TC's happy face, tilted towards the sun like a sunflower. And poor, skinny Sybil - obviously never fed...

Oh, they say that the highest cat is the dominant one Shock Karl and Lenny need to put TC in his place!

He's back on the table top this afternoon

Almost makes you want to put on the wire mesh gauntlets and tickle him under his ikkle chinny doesn't it Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/04/2021 16:55

DS1 came back for a few days this week from uni. He commented, just after I took the photos above, that TC hadn't tried to bite him once since he'd been back.

That status has now changed 😹
