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...

I know. sniff Poor creature is obviously on his last legs, doing anything he can to survive...

This afternoon TC is slumming it in a box outside (actually outside his own house for a change).

That looks like a mighty fine box. Just purrfect for such a supreme ruler.

My kids frequently ask why our cats sleep in boxes when they have multiple bought-beds littering in every room.

I know that I would lose my arm up to the elbow, but I so want to scritch TC under the chin and behind the ears.

I’d go in for a facial belly rub. Aka decapitation.

Regular viewers will be aware that TC spends an inordinate amount of time on top of our cars.
Had to go out in the black car this morning. TC had other ideas. He was still on top (despite some heavy braking as a hint) when I had reversed out into our road. Had to get out and shove him off (accompanied by the inevitable hissing and growling).

😆

Living his best life, Grumpy. He wanted a lift to Pets at Home.

I can't imagine what errand you could possibly have that justifies interrupting TC's morning map, Grumpy. Outrageous.

Tsk tsk. TC was just having a much-need nap until he was so rudely disturbed. Couldn't you have called a taxi, Grumpy?

Gorgeous

Clearly you weren't reversing fast enough.

Other cats should not attempt this though, TC is a professional Bengal mix & has trained for years.

TC concurs with this view. And he's confirmed that by guarding my door with a clear 'None shall pass' message.

I wish MN had a like button as I’d like those pictures, he’s a lovely boy

Had to get out and shove him off (accompanied by the inevitable hissing and growling).

For once I think he was justified :)

Yep. TC was enjoying the feline equivalent of a spa day when he was summarily evicted from the premises.

Grumpy, you have mistakenly assumed that the car is a vehicle when it is really a feline sun lounger.

TC is guarding 'his' territory (our porch) this morning.

I bet the sun has made him all warm, toasty and languidly snuggly😻

I'm sure he's also after belly rubs, he wouldn't be flashing his tummy otherwise.

Flashing his rather magnificent tummy.

He does love you, Grumpy.

In his own way.

He definitely despises you less than the other neighbours.
