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...

He does love you.

I really feel that we should turn the Grumpy/TC saga into a children's television series. It would be insanely popular and lucrative.

A kind of sinister Bagpuss, perhaps?

🤣🤣🤣
Almost tempted to regress each of TC's initials by one and rename him SB.

Wasn't he Stripey Bastard in a previous thread....?

Maybe a YouTube clip once a month ?

Hard yes to TCTV.

So we are flooded and TC is bored

Please play with me

I read that as “we are flooded and TC is bored. Please pray for me“.

TC has a pet snake….

Pet snake, or another minion?

Time for a pea green boat, how grim for you, poor TC tribe. Hope it sorts itself soon without too much work.

I don’t fancy Sidney snake’s chances at all.

Come outside , I can help you shed your skin.....twelve layers at a time mwah ha ha

Sorry about poor quality of photos - Sybil and TC are currently having a major row.

Has the glass broken yet? 🙀

That Sybil is one fierce lady. Did she take the balls off the boys and keep them for herself? 🤔

Ah, but female cats are queens, while male cats are mere toms! AIUI cat society is basically matriarchal.

All hail Queen Sybil, Defender of the Realm!

Sybil can be very feisty. If I had opened the door she'd have dashed out, chased TC off, then would have darted straight back inside grinning before TC realized he'd been played and returned.

I rather like her ear position on the first photo above - seriously grumpy cat 😾

Lovers' tiff.

TC is playing outside. He actually came to greet me on the patio table and looked almost cute 😁.

Very handsome,There's still a slight hint of "don't mess with me" though

Agreed - just look at those murder mittens.

Bloody hell , if a cat looked at me like that I wouldn't be reaching for my camera/iPhone , I'd be groping about for my riot shield

That's friendly for TC 🤣

He wants scritches and nose hoops!
