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

[Grumpyoldpersonwithcats]

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 and of course our own Supersimkin2 (to name but a few).

The first two pictures look like those grainy ones usually offered as evidence of 'big cat on the loose in something shire'!

Look at his tail though, he’s very pleased to see you.

That tail is glorious.
I agree he is like a masterful big cat on the prowl.

Tail definitely says he luffs you.

Tail definitely says he luffs you.

I luff you but I want to kill you.

@grumpyoldpersonwithcats have you ever considered yourself to be in an abusive relationship? Are you treading on eggshells? Do you allow yourself to be savaged but make excuses for your abuser?

have you ever considered yourself to be in an abusive relationship?
This is possible - but I view my relationship with TC as more akin to Stockholm syndrome .

Surely you mean stalk home

@AnneKipankitoo
Good one!😂

😂

It may be the case that onlookers are blind to the abuse because he is a 'nice cat'. ...

Round at NDN's a few nights ago.
Mrs NDN revealed that TC has been known to paw open the shower door and launch himself at her legs while she is showering.
I've also been sent this photo of him which I think says it all

TC is a founding member of CWA: Cats With Attitude.

Aww, look how the gold matches his coat ☺️

Or, CATtitude. Thug life!

Brave boy! Trying to save Mrs NDN from drowning!

That's a very 70s look he's sporting there!

Gangsta in da house !

Thug life

You are all seeing Gangsta and I am seeing 70s macho heartthrob with gold chain ... obviously showing my age.

😂 @YetAnotherSpartacus.

Just been disturbed (while working upstairs) by TC miaowing outside the patio doors.
At least he'd brought an offering to try to purrsuade me to let him in.

On the first day of Christmas .....

Out of season too. I bet it was much harder to find a mouse in December.

He wouldn’t have to miaow if you’d just do the decent thing and fit a cat flap.

On the first day of Christmas

Very worried about days 2,3,4,6, and 7 now.

On the first day of Christmas my Thug Cat gave to me....

I don't think these are beyond the amazing abilities of TC...

Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
