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).

In that case, the only thing to do is to change your name and move to Cairo.

Trump's lawyer's looking for a new job. As is 'Fat Tony' Salermo's office.

Maybe Grumpy can choose one of these.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Of course it's one of the dogs' beds Grin
Love how TC not only commandeered the dog's bed but also blocked access to the bed in the background.

Woof, woof,

AnneKipanki · 16/07/2021 18:39

4 is just too cute.

Sweetpea1532 · 16/07/2021 18:49

Yes, #4 looks very scrappy @AnneKipanki

Gracie would like to posthumously join the class action lawsuit...this big ginger bopped her on the head, taunted her from a metre away, and then promptly marched inside and commandeered (ala TC style )Gracie's throne that her nan bought especially for her! The injustice of it all..and to put the icing on the cake, Gracie has to endure Gingers insults about her lovely pink jumper!
(Apologies for the sideways photo.)

Poor Gracie!

Sweetpea1532 · 16/07/2021 18:58

Yes, those cats are ruthless with the mighty TC as the leader of the packHmm
All cats aspire to be just like himGrin

@AnneKipanki

Maybe have the cat lawyer from Texas so it’s a fair trial.
I watched that video again today, it is literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen 😹😹😹
AnneKipanki · 16/07/2021 20:08

It’s the sort of thing I would do @purrswhileheeats

Can't decide if he's just dozing off, or actually making a Ninja stealth approach to the open patio doors...

Worryingly I seem to be seeing double in the last post.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 18/07/2021 18:58

He looks hot, poor boy.

I suspect if the doors were opened he’d summon the energy to make a dash.

Supersimkin2 · 18/07/2021 19:13

It's the drink @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats. Keep it up.

CassandraCross · 19/07/2021 13:28

Ninja stealth approach the appearance of dozing is to fool you.

ozymandiusking · 19/07/2021 13:45

Good to see TC on the patio doing the Yoga "upward cat pose" ( as opposed to the "Downward dog". This is one of Ruperts favourites.
He is also known as The Black Prince.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/07/2021 19:12

Despite without exaggeration being slightly hotter than the surface of the sun this afternoon, TC is asserting his dominance by lying on top of our black car this afternoon.

When you gotta dominate you gotta dominate, hotter than the surface of the sun car? pfft, TC fur is impermeable.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof !

SometimesIFeedTheSparrows · 19/07/2021 21:51

He'll be wanting a little swim in the pool to cool down from that.

I encouraged our neighbour's bengal to sit in its own garden earlier and it cleared the massive compost bin and 5 foot fence in one go. It is, er, slightly more on the athletically built side compared to TC.

TheBrokenMothership · 19/07/2021 22:57

I hope Basil is doing well now? We have a boy who blocks. You will be forever watching for him to pee now!!!

Bloody cats.
