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...

TC is definitely in our bad books this morning. Basil wanted to come in and TC attacked him. Photo just prior to the attack.
I have had serious words (and must send Sybil out to sort TC out)

Poor Basil. TC is definitely in the wrong here.

KeziaOAP · 23/07/2023 09:50

TC should be banished to the naughty step for cornering Basil.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 23/07/2023 10:48

Difficult to identify an appropriate naughty step since TC claims to own every step outside the house already 😹.

Naughty TC!!

Love-bombing’s supposed to work very well on cheek, Grumpy.

Pixiedust1234 · 23/07/2023 11:22

Poor Basil, sending him some love ❤

However...maybe, just maybe... if someone would feed that poor cat then possibly he wouldn't have to fight for food.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 23/07/2023 12:15

TC's concept of the naughty step. (A step from which he can be naughty?)
He just hissed at me because I wouldn't let him in the front door.

It’s the changeable weather, bless him. He’s all out of sorts.

Supersimkin2 · 23/07/2023 12:51

Blame climate change.

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 23/07/2023 14:06

He’s crossed a line there. I would be cross too.

Supersimkin2 · 24/07/2023 11:30

Is he behaving better today? Poor Basil.

Ellmau · 24/07/2023 19:35

Is he ever in your good books?

Poor innocent Basil.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/07/2023 20:29

I haven't seen much of TC today. Hopefully he's channeling Fulke Greville and contemplating the depths of his iniquity (but I bet he isn't)

OP posts:
KeziaOAP · 24/07/2023 20:45

Probably hasn't ventured out of his own pad if the weather was anything like here very wet.

Supersimkin2 · 26/07/2023 12:10

Damp out, innit. He’s asleep dreaming of fighting.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/07/2023 12:18

Early start this morning for a trip to sunny(?) Warrington.
TC was outside to welcome me at 05.25 🙄.

Stigsmother · 26/07/2023 12:31

Such a dedicated, loyal boy 😂

YetAnotherSpartacus · 26/07/2023 12:41

No photo? I demand a refund!

Supersimkin2 · 26/07/2023 18:45

Did he look shamed?

Hope Warrington went well.

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 26/07/2023 19:09

You tripped the sensor. You’ll have to do better than that to beat TC.

Pixiedust1234 · 26/07/2023 19:11

I'm starting to think TC put Grumpy under the patio, hence the no picture in the post 😮

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/07/2023 19:46

Clearly I owe everyone an apology for failing to take YET ANOTHER photo of the stripey one when I was on my way to catch a train at the crack of sparrow fart this morning.
Back from Warrington now thanks. I'm certainly seeing the world in my job 🤣.

Yes you do and I'm glad you have recognised the need 😛 We were starting to worry that TC had decided to take your home by force during a dawn raid. Does he own a trebuchet?

Welcome home Grumpy, hope you had a lovely, peaceful day Flowers

Supersimkin2 · 29/07/2023 11:37

TC Kitten Pics would break the interpet.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 29/07/2023 11:40

We've seen at least one.

He looked as innocent as the baby Jesus.
