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...

Sybil’s playing it cool. You need a balcony for TC to sing up to.

CassandraCross · 27/04/2024 17:42

Aw look at his little face when the delectable Sybil rebuffs him, poor love struck little mite.

Good grief, will nobody think of the poor kitty freezing outside. Even the weathermen say it's cold out there! He's that desperate for warmth (and maybe a bit of love and companionship) he's trying to paw his way through a door 😥

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 27/04/2024 19:11

Asbo would be so pleased that in his absence other bengals carry on not knowing when to give up 😼

Note the fluffed up tail 😺

As much as I am a tc fan I do wonder if he is soooo vicious and claws out how do u manage so many stealth pics.....I understand tc dad when the poor baby is asleep on furniture. But how do u get the pics of him outside your patio without an attack from the claws of doom...???

AnneKipankitoo · 27/04/2024 23:10

Gorgeous boy

2 points.
Firstly I use the zoom feature on the phone so I can avoid getting too close.
Secondly - when I went back inside, I had to gently ask him to move aside. At that point he launched at my leg and bit my trousers. This is his standard MO, we are just used to it 🤣.

Haha OK I belive u lol 😆 😂

TCsDad · 28/04/2024 14:41

Chicken, using his zoom as he is too scared 😁

Grumpy’s the bravest man we know. And the most sensible!

He’s asking for a drone for Xmas.

Supersimkin2 · 29/04/2024 13:11

A satellite drone.
New trousers.

Lenny wants to go out but won't go past TC.
So he's trying failing to beat TC up through the closed window instead.

I think that's the definition of posturing.

Pixiedust1234 · 01/05/2024 08:38

It's quite funny to see TC not move a muscle (or blink) despite getting splatted in the face twice. Wonder if TC does a big sigh and rolls his eyes 😂 Poor Lenny though, I hope his feelings weren't too hurt.

KeziaOAP · 01/05/2024 09:31

Lenny's giving TC "friendly" high five 🙂

TC was looking cute sitting on our car bonnet in the sun this morning...

Then NDN popped in but TC unnoticed followed.
Photos of a VERY grumpy TC being removed from our house.

Those last two pictures... I'm crying 😂😂😂

Allergictoironing · 04/05/2024 10:58

Poor little mistreated lad. Looks more like a sad expression than grumpy to me. And those little legs dangling there...

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 04/05/2024 12:41

Brave.

Anniegetyourgun · 04/05/2024 13:08

"Thwarted! Curses!"

YetAnotherSpartacus · 04/05/2024 16:00

He looks so tiny and pathetic, poor boy.

Els1e · 04/05/2024 16:02

That look reminds me of The Terminator. I’ll be back……..

Allergictoironing · 04/05/2024 16:23

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Time for a new thread methinks?

You can't expect us to go without our TC addiction can you?
