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 chin one is very special! Suns out thugs out. So pleased for the update

Typical front door behaviour this morning.
He's also leapt in through our open window in the living room twice so far today. A quick 'Oi' from DW discouraged him from getting any further than the windowsill.

Mrs Grumpy, what a woman eh?.

He's very angular today!

Saucy side-eye - might he be flirting with Mrs G?

I am glad to hear about his royal stripeyness again. Brings a smile to my face

Really not sure what literature TC reads in his spare time, but today he seems to be emulating the models who used to decorously repose on sports cars during motor shows on the 1970s 🙀

Sex sells. Everyone knows, even cats. You weren’t planning on driving that car were you?

This was the view from the inside of the car ten minutes later.

Bloody hell my 'spag' has gone to pieces today.
I should have written
'the view from inside the car'.

'the view from inside the car'

TC looking nonchalant as you rev the engine before speeding off with him on the bonnet?

I ended up using the other car 🤣

Come on baby drive my car , I dare ya !

He really doesn't give a flying fig!

The eyes 80% shut say "I wouldn't if I were you."

Lenny giving TC a wide berth to get to the front door this morning. TC is of course ignoring Lenny & is just pretending he's the only cat that matters 😹

He's like that sitcom character that lives next door and turns up every day!

Nothing like a spot of TC in the mornings!

I turned down a Bengal this morning. No idea why.

My wife cat next door perhaps? Starring John Alderton, Hannah Gordon and TC?

Actually starring TC, John Alderton, and Hannah Gordon.

TC would never accept anything other than top billing 🤣

OMG! I posted on the original TC thread which I see was back in 2019 !!! (under a different user name). For some reason, I thought of it today and searching led me here!! I'm so glad his exploits are continuing.

I'd forgotten what an ultra-handsome- and - he-knows-it boy he is.

I'm sure if I were a girl cat, I'd want to have his kittens! He's very beautiful and has a nice chunkiness about him. I like his proprietal techniques.

@OwlBarn
Welcome back - I have frittered away an inordinate amount of time documenting TC's exploits, so I'm glad it's appreciated 🤣.

Your updates are most definitely appreciated Grumpy 🙂

They are ❤️🐱
