TC is clearly suitably impressed by his fame

What has the darling boy been up to? And didn't your neighbours have COVID? Are they OK now?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 30/08/2020 15:54

Ah - he's just being TC at the moment Grin.

So to answer some of the queries above...
TC is an only cat, but shares the house with a menagerie including three dogs.
I'd love to think he only attacks bites me, but he's indiscriminate and attacks anyone (including NDN) if he feels like it.
I do pick him up occasionally - but NEVER to stop him doing something.
And he's been monopolizing the car for the last week. - photos from earlier today.

I'm also delighted to report that our cats visit next door. NDN just sent me this photo of Lenny wandering onto his workshop.

Karl, from his vantage point atop the bin, is now spying on TC.

How is the tail re-growth going?
And sign of the second evil cat?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 30/08/2020 17:07

Haven't seen the grey and white thug for months thank goodness.
And Karl's tail is more or less back to normal Smile.

Such a beautiful cat, even his sweet little toothypegs are pretty.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 31/08/2020 10:29

If you polished the roof of your car you could get some wonderful TC reflection shots (look - TWO TC's)!!!!

Thanks for the photo update - I loved the one of Lenny on a mission!

Is NDN able to pet your cats?

PaternosterLoft · 31/08/2020 10:33

Haven't seen the grey and white thug for months thank goodness. So you owe TC for seeing off the great intruder Grin Looks like he's decided you owe him a car in payment.

@YetAnotherSpartacus

Handsome boy!

Handsome is as handsome does Grin

And yes - NDN does stroke our cats - particularly Sybil. Monty was his favourite though. NDN fitted our bathroom and while lying down plumbing in the new bath, Monty came and curled up on his chest. NDN didn't move for an hour to avoid disturbing him Grin.

Back to this morning - I don't know if TC is preventing Basil from going out, or Basil stopping TC from coming in.

I wish I could move into a house on your road :). Aside from the snake, that is.

CassandraCross · 31/08/2020 12:08

Yet I think the majority of MNers on this thread would like to do that too, or just move in to Grumpy'sGrin.

Love the way TC's back feet are curled over in the last photo, there's relaxing and there's TC relaxing!

I'm now imagining us all camped outside that double-glazed glass door next to TC trying to gain entry :)

YetAnotherSpartacus · 31/08/2020 12:10

TC BELLY SHOT!!!!

CassandraCross · 31/08/2020 14:25

*I'm now imagining us all camped outside that double-glazed glass door next to TC trying to gain entry Smile

Noses pressed vainly against the window, sad eyes viewing the glorious but forbidden nirvana of the Grumpy household.Grin

TC Fanz Flash Mob - let's do it.

CassandraCross · 31/08/2020 17:49

Poor Grumpy! The unintended consequences of starting a thread on MN about a rogue cat - a fan club extraordinaire and now a flash mob of TC worshippers.

TheSparklyPussycat · 31/08/2020 17:53

We will lie on your car till you let us in...

PaternosterLoft · 31/08/2020 17:55

I just want to sit in the back of the boat with a large G&T and TC sitting in my lap.

Defiantly41 · 31/08/2020 22:25

With you, Lana

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/09/2020 11:39

I'm imagining us all wearing facemasks with a tabby-tiger pattern ...

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 01/09/2020 13:03

Becoming slightly concerned about the posts above - I thought it was bad enough just being under seige from TC... Grin.

For the delight and delectation of his fans, I can report that Stripes is guarding our front door this morning.
