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).

Aww look at how playful they are 😍 playing peek a boo.

I love this thread 🤣

I do too!

Calendar @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats?

Ah, but think of the complications.

• Sued by my NDN for profiting from his cat.
• Banned from MN for product placement.
• Revealing my address to those who would like to steal TC (ooh - hang on a minute)
• Shunned by TC for taking advantage without his permission (ooh - hang on another minute...)

And for a cat whose name remains hidden from all but members of the cabal

Revealing my address to those who would like to steal TC (ooh - hang on a minute)

Foiled!

You forgot the major complication Grumpy:

Having to accede to the the payment required by TC for use of his image, payment would of course be full and unfettered access to Casa Grumpy and all surrounding land and water and equipment thereon.

full and unfettered access to Casa Grumpy
I think he already reckons he has that. I've just gone downstairs because he was yelling his head off at the back door. I may have given him some dreamies in the hope that he goes away

Dreamies … go away !
What planet are you on Grumpy?😂

He's certainly got some reach up that door and how cute is he in the second photo!

Yeah Grumpy, any sympathy I had for you has gone right out of the window 😹

TC is looking remarkably svelte at the moment though; definitely not as curvaceous as in previous winters.

Oh the poor little sweetheart, he is probably feeling lonely and just wants some love

I'm sure that's not how Dreamies work.....unless of course you MEAN to encourage him

Yes, I know dreamies were a really stupid idea, but I can't help feeling a bit sorry for him coming to the door everyday and shouting at me.
Anyway he did bugger off immediately post dreamies, so it worked (once...)

Did it though?

TC has been studying kangaroo videos

I think he is playing the (very ) long game, lulling you into a false sense of security, Mark my words, this time next year you and Mr NDN will be sharing custody.

Ours backs away from dh as soon as he’s dispensed dreamies.

Mine hang around saying "is that all?'

Just been round to NDN's to let the dogs out for their ablutions.
Unusually TC was in. He appeared surprised to see me, but then lavished me with purring and acceptance of multiple head scritches.
Little hypocrite

See! He has a softer side. Or he’s hoping you lock the dogs out all night.

And one of the dogs lay at my feet, to try to stop me leaving...

At least he didn’t throw TC at you “Please don’t leave us with that cat 😭”

Waiting for more Dreamies
