Thug cat part 5 - For he will not do destruction, if he is well-fed, neither will he spit without provocation.

Christopher Smart had clearly never met TC.
Due to popular demand (and a fear of lynching by the denizens of Mumsnet if I failed to comply) please find enclosed the 5th (🙀) thread about my NDN's cat.
For any new arrivals to this thread, TC is a stripy thug who spends most of his waking hours trying to break into our house. He doesn't get on with our cats (with the possible exception of Sybil, but only if she's in the mood). He currently is at war with Lenny.
He occasionally behaves like a perfect gentleman, his more normal MO however is to be a hissing spitting ball of teeth and claws.
For any one daft enough, here are the last 4000 posts about him
thread1
thread2
thread3
thread4
For anyone far too sensible to trawl through the above threads, here are a few of his photographic highlights. And yes, the last one is him on my kitchen table...

That is my favourite one bottom left in the first set. I see you put his real name in again there @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats z

I can confirm that I have never revealed TC's real name (I don't think 🤣).

And I love that picture too, it is now immortalised on some coasters we got made for NDN at Christmas.

Why are you squatting in his house?

TwilightSparklesLeftHoof · 10/02/2023 15:07

Excellent stuff. I rarely comment and have had various name changes but have been here since thread 1 and I'm delighted to see thread 5!!

Stigsmother · 10/02/2023 15:59

Thank you Grumpy
😊

Allergictoironing · 10/02/2023 17:00

Many thanks Grumpy. I don't know how I would have managed without the next episodes of TC attempting to woo the beauteous Sybil

AnneKipankitoo · 10/02/2023 17:42

Thanks very much @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats .

Pudmyboy · 10/02/2023 19:14

He is very handsome, shame about the thuggery!

MN’s bad boy triumphs again. Here to join his adoring harem.

Craftybodger · 10/02/2023 20:28

Lovely, TC adventures continue! Have read all the threads and become a cat minion I the process but I’m not sure that I’ve delurked til now.

CraftyCat currently unimpressed with Garfield treat dispenser filled with Catnip Dreamies and the Minions need to show her how to operate it!

TreeBlindMice · 10/02/2023 21:47

Great!!' Following!

Didicat · 10/02/2023 22:18

As a cat slave I understand the predicament TC poses, surely you have room for a striped master.

4 reasons why I don't 🤣 I get little enough sleep as it is.

No vehicular anarchy lately Grumpy?

😂 I wish TC had his own thread so we could get his side of the story.

How is his waistline these days? He was starting to look temptingly cuddly last year but latest pics suggest he has upped his step count.

MsSupineLickspittle · 13/02/2023 08:55

I wish TC had his own thread so we could get his side of the story.

I suspect it's either-

  1. I can, so I will

Or

  1. It's my house/car/pool/boat/Sybil anyway, it's all a misunderstanding, he's the evil one not me, poor me.
