Thug cat part 4. After all, it's not my Axminster.

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 Shock and of course our own Supersimkin2 (to name but a few).

Just pleased to see a purveyor of Dreamies more like.

Very healthy teeth and gums. 🤣

He is very smoochable.

It’s probably been asked before but any baby pictures of tiny TC? When he was still innocent 😁

I've published this one before but I feel it merits repetition.

Oh look at him!! ❤️

LostCats · 09/02/2023 18:53

Although there is something in the eyes…

Supersimkin2 · 09/02/2023 20:10

Melt an iceberg, he would. Little love.

Hindsight can be annoying.

TwilightSparklesLeftHoof · 09/02/2023 22:20

Oh wow, that's a brilliant picture.. like butter wouldn't melt.. deceiving 😂

Borgonzola · 09/02/2023 23:03

Thug kitten!

nettie434 · 09/02/2023 23:17

Those are great TC photos with fangs and as a cute kitty. They are a perfect example of those 'how it started' and 'how it's going' comparisons.

Are we going to have another thread Grumpy, I would miss my regular TC updates 😥

Beaverlac · 10/02/2023 07:41

Supersimkin2 · 10/02/2023 10:20

OK OK - I submit.
I can't believe after 4000 posts about the cat next door, I've been beaten into submission by the denizens of Mumsnet to provide yet further updates.

As soon as I think of an appropriately apposite quotation I will set up the next thread. In the meantime here is a gratuitous picture of Basil and Sybil who frankly are far more deserving of their own thread than Stripes. 🤣.

Thankyou!

You could always persuade him to fake his own death. He might be up for it.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 10/02/2023 11:30

Of course there needs to be another TC thread!
