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

[Grumpyoldpersonwithcats]

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

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...

It's so sweet of TC to provide endless stimulation and enrichment for the Grumpy cats. No chance of them becoming bored and listless.

Playful. Shame the others aren’t interested.

Friendship Bench? Would look lovely in the garden. Your garden, natch, Grumpy.

It's not just the Grumpy cats, it's also Grumpy himself.

I reckon TC is jealous of how fluffy and handsome your cats are. It's all an insecurity complex.

Never thought of TC having an inferiority complex before 😹.
Although you do raise a valid point that for all TC's qualities(?) he certainly isn't fluffy.

As an aside, you can get long hair bengals now in America so it will happen here too.

I was lucky with Asbo he loved a good going over with a zoom groom, I'm more likely to get bitten by Puddy during grooming.

Bet I'm not the only person who has been looking at pictures of long haired Bengals. 😁

Nope.

I’ve just Googled long haired bengals ❤️❤️

I wonder which barn-pot looked at Bengals and thought you know what we should do to make this high maintenance breed even more high maintenance? Make it long haired.

😂

Could only be thought up by a health insurance company. You know this blood thirsty breed keen on eviscerating humans? Let's make one that needs twice weekly grooming and we'll make a fortune!

It's obvious TC has chronic low self esteem 😿

I think you maybe right, but he's always been like that. None stop attention seeking

He really ought to be nicer to me then. I have after all provided a platform for him to show off display his talents.

I think my favourite Fun Fact about TC is that he dines atop his five-foot high cat tower.

TC should feature on the next series of Our Planet 😁

Is it to avoid the dogs? I'm struggling to see how the dogs aren't completely terrified of him though.

Yes! And when he comes in to nick Grumpy's cats' food, he is literally lowering himself. No wonder he feels entitled to bite and scratch Grumpy. TC wants his own cat tower plus bowl in Grumpy's house.

The dogs are terrified, but one dog would kill to get food, that's why he's got his tower, where he can eat,sleep and love.

...and survey his empire from above presumably? Like the start (and end)_ of The Lion King on the rocky outcrop.

A study in contentment (as long as a pane of glass separates them 😁)

TC looks positively skinny next to those two fluffers. In fact...has he keeled over due to starvation?

Little fluffy feet raised in happiness. The picture of tender petcare.

Extreme sweetness applies to all here, especially that painfully thin stray you’ve locked out. How was that caring?! 😹
