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).

It's a Fitbit.

He'd be pretty upset to be described as a knight - he is an Assyrian emperor, I think, with a spectacular track record of Smiting. The bracelet is probably made from the fingerbones of his enemies.

I suspect TC has one of those too.

I have to agree that your emperor is a very impressive looking chap (but he's still upstaged by a pussy cat )

That beard looks like a nice scratching post .

Back on the car roof this afternoon

He’s watching out for cheeky bastard interloper cats, he can’t believe the way some cats just walk into other cats territory like they have a right to be there.

No class at all.

Or he wants to play the game where he sees how long he can stay on the car roof while Grumpy pretends he's not there and drives off.

@FromOurHatsToOurFeet
He's done that before. Only jumps off if I actually start to move the car .

How fast do you have to start to move it though

DW went out in her car earlier, but made the mistake of leaving the driver's door open while she put something in the tailgate.
She returned to the driver's door to discover this inside.

It shows TC’s powers of mind control that Mrs Grumpy now takes cute pictures of him.

Never photograpg TC

Try again.
Never photograph TC is there is a risk he'll walk forward at your own head height

Those paws were made for mawling.

A cat of many talons!

Has he ever head butted you? Asbo used to headbut us with so much force you’d check your nose for blood.

I thought he was nursing a can of beer in Mrs Grumpy's photo!

It was planted there to make him look bad.

I was sitting in my (parked) car the other day & a young spaniel I know went past, so I opened the door to talk to him. His mum eventually managed to drag him off my lap .

The name Asbo makes me laugh every time I read it. Aslan's unruly cousin.

He was a good boy 😹 his real name was Bertie but Cozie nicknamed him Asbo fairly quickly.

Cozie knows her cats.

Cozie should be a name consultant!

@Allergictoironing did the spaniel roll his eyes as he got dragged away?

Absolutely @Mistressofnone, caused a tornado somewhere

@Mistressofnone he wasn't dragged away, just off my lap so I could get out & fuss him properly. He's a mad daft thing, just over a year old & completely obsessed with balls. Basically jet black squirmyness in perpetual motion.

Best part of my job that - I get to meet & chat to all the dogs around the towns I visit, including in the parks

Like a dog library.
