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).

Scratch ‘n’ sniff !

Apropo of scratch n sniff, current discussion of cat farts on The Other Cat Thread. Scratch, sniff and guess which cat dealt it, could be a hugely successful board game, perhaps?

@Santapankitoo

👍🏻 Scratch ‘n’ sniff !

If it involves TC, it's Scratch 'n' Hiss.

Calendar candidate pictures?

Happy Christmas to followers of TC everywhere

Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much , made my day ♥️

Aw he's just begging for a tummy rub in that first photo

Merry Christmas TC.

Awww, look how festive he is with his little hat! He’s a cutie ☺️

Aaah such a cute, gentle soul, would melt the hardest of hearts.

What gorgeous photos. Thank you, Grumpy.

So festive and cooperative

DS1's GF is staying at present.
She decided to go and say hello to TC (despite having previous experience of him).
Well she was warned.

Mr NDN is away at present - so today TC is even more visible (and even more bad tempered) than usual.
Photos all taken in last 20 minutes at front door, back door and music room window. GFGate was in the middle of this.

He's only playing, you can tell that by the wink!

Majestic as ever.

Does the GF have remarkably small arms or is TC really that big

When she tried to escape the thug, he stayed attached... Evidence provided

He just doesn't know his own strength, poor misunderstood TC.

Oh dear , TC . ♥️

Red nails. It spooked him.

Poor TC, being exposed to a different human. It made him all kerfluffled.

Erm I respectfully disagree - I think NDN has treated TC to a multigym for Christmas 🙀🙀😹

So today the rule is

1. open patio doors to let Lenny out
2. TC steps back
3. Lenny decides not to go out.
4. Close door.
5. Repeat ad nauseam

And yes, we do still gave the Christmas tree up, but I can confirm it was stripped of decorations on 12th night.

And another pic for your collective amusement.
