Thug cat part 4. After all, it's not my Axminster.

By popular request, a furtherance of the Saga of TC the Stripey.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a story of a war of attrition over the last two years waged by a fat stripey cat on the innocent and long suffering members (feline and human) of the Grumpy household. Now running at almost 3000 posts, clearly TC would give Grendel a run for his money

All literary references welcome, we've already had Shakespeare, Saki, James Thurber, The KJV bible, Judith Kerr, EM Forster, Benny Hill Shock and of course our own Supersimkin2 (to name but a few).

Fat bear week is back but it's missing an entrant. I assume TC is amassing mass in preparation for Winter. Maybe that's the reason for the yellow car's fat tyre...Hmm

@AnneKipankitoo
That video song is rather strange...funny how its
perfect for TC and the yellow car escapsade though Grin

TC ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Just gone to MDN's to let the dogs out.
Has she eaten TC? 🙀

Do you have a photo of the dog with TC for size comparison? Because that poor sweet dog looks as if Something is constantly stealing its food, napping in its bed and generally making its life a misery.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 05/10/2021 14:06

As requested

Photo No 2 looks a little NSFW.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 05/10/2021 14:14

I had to look up NSFW Grin

It's also the way the beanbag screams 'Bordello Pink".

But yeah. I didn't know that TC did webcam.

NapoleonOzmolysis · 05/10/2021 16:07

That's the dog's bean bag, right? I'm surprised he's not trying to move in with you as well.

CassandraCross · 06/10/2021 15:46

Nah, that dog would look very different if she had eaten TC, rather like those gross pictures of pythons with their prey clearly visible in their bodies.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 06/10/2021 16:37

I can confirm TC has not been devoured by one of his canine siblings. He's been around all day enjoying a bit of sunshine.

Tc feels perfectly safe exposing his tummy to the dog.

AnneKipankitoo · 06/10/2021 18:17

It’s a “Go on ... just try it “

nettie434 · 06/10/2021 21:43

Tc feels perfectly safe exposing his tummy to the dog.

Alternatively, it is the feline equivalent of mooning Grin That dog definitely looks as if she knows her position in the TC hierarchy.

AnneKipankitoo · 07/10/2021 07:20

No one is worthy .

Read back through the previous threads - that is EXACTLY what TC has been trying to do! Grin

Actually she (how very dare you misgender NDN's dog Grin) has broken into the garden & tried to get in a few times. She's so sweet natured though that I forgive her.

So do we think the poor dog is simply trying to escape from having to live with TC; or is she actually one of TC's minions trying to join in with his colonisation of your house?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 07/10/2021 12:13

is she actually one of TC's minions trying to join in with his colonisation of your house?

That's most likely 😹

I think we were lost for words in admiration of your knowledge of the correct acronym to use when warning us about TC's pose, YetAnotherSpartacus!
