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...

PS - I'm starving.

Peel me another grape you bastard.

He's looking very gaunt, poor boy.

Supersimkin2 · 13/02/2023 11:14

Tummy temptation.

LostCats · 13/02/2023 11:25

That’s definition of a tummy trap

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/02/2023 12:47

Mrs Grumpy and I have just been out with NDN for a quick dog walk. As we left our house TC came onto our drive, completely ignored us as he walked past, strolled up the steps, scratched at the front door then turned round and sat down.
Still there when we came back 30 minutes later.

"What took you so long!" @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats 'I'm starving to death up in here'

Working from home and currently being interrupted by yelling outside the back door. Photos from my upstairs office window.

It's bad enough being interrupted by your own cats, is Sybil with you by any chance?🤔

MsSupineLickspittle · 17/02/2023 13:17

If you put a ladder up, he wouldn't have to scream so loudly.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 17/02/2023 13:49

What a beautiful boy 😍! Is he not yours ? Off to read other threads about him !

There is a house further down our street that has a cat walkway going up the wall from the ground to an upstairs window. I'm amazed that I've never seen TC sitting at the top of it.

Is he not yours? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Despite that which many people on this thread think (and regardless of TC's thoughts on the subject) I can assure you that he is NOT our cat.

I’m laughing out loud at all the photos on thread one 🤣🤣🤣🤣

this photo was yesterday whilst working at home.

Very handsome NMC. I do recognise that look.

'I may not be your cat, but what are you going to do about it?' 😼

Just been next door. Not sure what TC is trying to tell me 🤣.

FWK believes that Doris thinks she is TC's apprentice.

Doris has Opinions.

Allergictoironing · 17/02/2023 17:49

Doris is starting to look a little chunky there!

Supersimkin2 · 17/02/2023 19:10

Doris is our future President.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/02/2023 09:50

I opened the front door to let Karl out for a constitutional this morning but he was curiously reticent and changed his mind.
Shutting the door again was more challenging...
