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...

How kind of you to provide such a fun scratching post...

When are you going to let me in, I'd tried at grumpy's, but they don't want to play with me !

Poor TC. Cursed to always be on the outside of the door.

If TC was in Grumpys House looking out it would be a face of horror

"Let me out , Let Me OUT . That Sybil is being mean to me "

It would be carnage

Little sweetie, so frail and lonely.

Jeez his own parents won't let him in, no wonder he has to invade go next door!

You said the quiet part out loud!

Standoff time with Lenny.

< puts a gold star on Lenny >

What a big, brave boy he is. Has he been taking lessons from Sybil?

Jeez his own parents won't let him in, no wonder he has to invadego next door!
I know... it's heartbreaking 😿

Following the standoff earlier Lenny is obviously pleased with himself. He's now curled up on my lap purring. This is significant because he is the only one of our cats who generally is not a lapcat. I'm honoured.

Stand off with TC and now purring on your lap despite not being a lapcat... are you 100% sure that is Lenny and not a doppelganger?

Lenny has such lovely glossy fur.

I agree. I sometimes wonder if he uses the same shampoo as Claudia Winkleman 🤔

Well this thread has certainly taken an unexpected turn 🤣.

I can imagine the Herbal Essence advert now 😂

I love hearing and seeing TC. My beloved Thug cat was PTS over a year ago and I miss him so much.
He sounds so much like TC, and looked like him, he was half Bengal too.

Lovely photo - he was a very handsome chap. Glad you're enjoying the threads.

My dad says this is a tread from Grumpy. Love this tread, I'll go over and see if I can't get another one when finished this one or I try a nick one.

Is that an effigy of @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats?

Oh he is loving that! Cute photos @TCsDad 😁

Such glorious portraits of three brave cats looking their most beautiful.

Have you ever seen The Wicker Man, Grumpy.

Have you ever seen The Wicker Man, Grumpy.
😲
Yes - I'm hoping TC hasn't though.

Those that haven’t seen the wicker man do not watch it.

Puddy has those sticks.

Oh dear, didn't think of that

I'll only be really worried when I see a giant wicker cat in TC's garden.
