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).

Basil is looking very pleased with himself, if a little wary!

😹

Thought I'd share another picture of TC on the car roof this morning (prior to his eviction )

And now the photo.

His Majesty looks most imperious in that picture.

In the earlier one I noticed a paw readied for swiping.

Striking pose !

[David Attenborough voice] Here one can see the Lord of the Garden in his native habitat. He is scanning the environment looking for potential prey. Note the steely gaze and scythe-like claws.

Ok, first post ever, but that last pic what a magnificent specimen! I reckon that's 'Mr July (yes, yes be been lurking, but I think TC calendar is the best idea ever, I need this calendar in my life :) )

I would buy a Mr TC calendar!

Me too !
I think I suggested it before ( probably along with TC’s other fans )

I think the December pose with TC in a red suit and hat needs to be re-done to ensure a higher quality image. :)

We also need a good kitten photo for one of the months :)

Black: pawn to yellow car, Check.

Another one who would buy a calendar!

Hello, LK1872 - do you have a furry overlord, or perhaps a NMC (Not My Cat)?

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Get cracking on that calendar, Grumpy, so it will be ready for the Christmas season...you'll be able to forgo your new job and set up a business that can employ your DS who will be able to run it for you when you're ready to retire... it may even change DW opinion of TC if she can see the benefit of his existence...The World is your oyster!

But of course your NDN and his DS will need to be silent partners in the endeavour....

Oh, BTW, could you please start the week on Sunday instead of Monday? Whenever I bring a calendar home from a visit aboard, I am constantly a day behind....oh, I know! You can have 2 options...a Sunday starting one for the US and a Monday starting one for the rest of the World

Oh forget that stupid idea of 2 options...we will just have to adjust to the rest of the World's calendar

I am also seeing TC t-shirts and patches, mugs, etc....you'll be an overnight sensation! If you need any help with setting up your entrepreneurial business, PM me, I know a whiz who does this sort of things with great success.

CALENDAR!

😂 @Sweetpea1532♥️😹

😂 @AnneKipankitoo
Wouldn't you like a calendar, t-shirt, and mug for you and your friends? I know I would

Absolutely !

@AnneKipankitoo
Thanks for the laugh❤

I think that when TC disappeared and Basil took his spot, TC was in the car and attempting to let off the handbrake

Hah!

TC had been sitting immediately outside the open patio doors for about fifteen minutes without making any effort to break in. All our boys being in the living room may have contributed.
Something has now attracted his attention in our garden but I have absolutely no idea what he's looking at.

TC appears to have eaten well over the summer. You know there's a competition in the USA called "Fat Bear Week" to determine the chunkiest bear pre-hibernation in a National Park. TC could be in the running.

TC FB may have gained a new nom de plume.
FAT BEAR

I think he may have been body building...
