Your link doesn't work for me Supersimkin2 comes up with a query about the spelling of 'american'????

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 11/05/2021 17:48

Holy moly. Someone has a pet tiger.

Stigsmother · 11/05/2021 18:30

Yes, Grumpy's NDNGrinGrin

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 11/05/2021 18:39

Hah! True.

The story has made tomorrow's nationals.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/11/houston-tiger-man-arrested-victor-hugo-cuevas

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats, or similar, appears to be interviewed. The Guardian piece quotes 'a man' :

“Get the fuck back inside,” the man shouted. “Fuck you and your fucking tiger.”

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 11/05/2021 20:20

That made me laugh. Poor tiger, though. I hope they find him a nice new home. I hear that chez Grumpy is nice this time of year.

Today TC is mainly auditioning for a wildlife documentary.

Hope your next pic won’t be national treasure Sir David’s disembodied head on a yellow car bonnet.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
Wow, TC looks so dignified like a proper hunter...not a beggar cat whose main goal is to try to sneak into the Grumpy household and if he can't, he'll go to untold lengths to let everyone know how frustrated he is including attacking Mrs.GrumpyGrin

Supersimkin2 · 17/05/2021 09:26

Good luck today @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats. A second job is vital for those whose true calling is as artist and photographer.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 17/05/2021 11:15

Supersimkin2
Thank you.
Irritatingly I haven't actually started today because the vetting process is taking longer than it should. I was warned this might happen.
Might be next Monday...

Nightmare to get an appt. at the surgery right now @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats. Have you been flea'd and wormed?

Enjoy this week frolicking in the long grass with TC and the crew.

Who else saw the photo of TC and had a Sir David Attenborough narration in their mind: "Now we see the mighty hunter stalking his prey through dense underbrush. Careful not to let his presence be known, TC's stealth is a testament to cunning and persistence."

'The south east of England in May is a desperate time for most domestic fat cats. They prowl day and night in search of food and mates, often resorting to savage home invasions causing terror and alarm to unsuspecting residents. Tomorrow is a new day and dawn will bring new hope for the cats in this famine-ravaged suburb'

@Supersimkin2
Now you mention it, I have noticed that Mrs Grumpy is very keen that my vetting is completed. Should I be feeling nervous? Shock

Being serious for a moment - I have a revised start date of the 24th (maybe...)

In terms of the photo of life on the Serengeti plains - I'll add that TC was stalking Lenny at the time. Lenny was seriously unimpressed.

Don’t worry about Mrs G until she gives you a lump of cheese for lunch.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/05/2021 09:50

It's more the collar of shame during zoom calls that concerns me Shock.

Well if you will keep licking your bits, what else do you expect! Grin

Maybe that's what Elizabethan ruffs were all about.

Made the mistake of leaving the tailgate open while unloading shopping...
