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).

Back home from holiday. Our cats were VERY pleased to see us yesterday evening. 😽😽😽😽
TC was on the patio today, I went out to say hello and he was fine, until I had to ask him to move aside so I could get back in. Immediately back to hissing and growling. He's obviously missed me too. 🤣

Not a happy camper, is he?

He has obviously missed you.

You can see the love in his eyes, above the teeth. He’s only upset cos you left him.

Only a few threads away from TC gaining squatters rights!

TC was miaowing outside the window today. Requesting Sybil to come out and play?

Very Romeo and Juliet!

How can she resist😍😘

That occurred to me too 😽

Ha, to me it looks more like a military siege than a romantic drama! Sybil is clearly considering how to pour boiling oil on TC's head.

TC will have even less luck trying to persuade Basil to let him in.

He does act like he hasn’t got a home to go to.

I've noticed that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ah I do love this thread and enjoy all the updates - thank you ❤️

He has a home to go to; unfortunately it has 4 misguided cats and some confused adults already in it who keep shooing him out of it.

Basil is like 'F*ck you mate' in that photo 😹

Dinner at NDN's this evening. TC behaved like a perfect gentleman the whole time. Didn't maul or hiss at me once and was happy accepting strokes and head scritches. He did try to nick my beer though.

And a few further choice pictures of him asking his 'dad' to open his food cupboard.

And for anyone who likes PAWS OF DEATH 🙀

Magnificent paws of death they are too.

Has he got two claws coming out of one toe bean there?

Don’t spill his pint.

Just been next door to let the dogs out. TC is on top of his cat tree.
He actually purred when I scratched his head 🙀

TC purred!

He does behave like a slightly different cat when he's in his own house.
But even I was surprised by the purr today.
