Yeah, right.

Linney is more suitable.

At least he's actually a Scottish cat.

Gizmo is an English interloper, who only came to Scotland in order to get behind my bathroom cupboard.

Absolutely love Herbie's Beatles' hair cut. I'll never be able to unsee that now. 🤣

Lenny volunteers to be music librarian.

Kitty’s trying out a pose for the album cover.

Ah well.

I've ploughed through all ten million episodes of Within These Walls and have now embarked upon another orgy of 1970s viewing, after investing ten quid on Series One of Crown Court.

(The Prison Cat reappeared towards the end of Within These Walls, asleep on a prisoner's bed. Plus ca change.)

I've forgotten to hoover every single day so far, since tosspot husband fucked off.

Once a week, I remember, and the SNBT comes out of the cupboard, to Gizmo's alarm.

Crown Court. I just about remember that. Was it on at lunchtime?

Esgaroth · 06/11/2025 23:18

Kettle has no musical talents but is handsome enough to be in a boy band.

Edited

Yes. I was still at school when it first came out.

Don't know what type of band the cats might form.
If it's heavy metal Herbie suggests 'Feline Frenzy' as a name but is open to suggestions!

Pianoaholic · 06/11/2025 23:24

I remember Crown Court vaguely.
The theme music was an extract from an amazing piece by Janacek called Sinfonietta.

Esgaroth · 06/11/2025 23:27

Meowtallica?

I'll see myself out.

EmpressaurusKitty · 06/11/2025 23:28

I was thinking about songs they could cover:

A Whiskers Tale
I Can’t Fight This Feline Any More
Like A Purr
I Will Always Love Tuna

Pianoaholic · 06/11/2025 23:30

They'd have to do Cool for Cats and the Lovecats!

EmpressaurusKitty · 06/11/2025 23:31

Pianoaholic · 06/11/2025 23:30

And Stray Cat Strut - and definitely Everybody Wants to Be a Cat!

Esgaroth · 06/11/2025 23:36

Oh The Lovecats is a great track!

There's actually a Danish band called Mew that were great in the early 2000s, but sadly all the members are human.

EmpressaurusKitty · 06/11/2025 23:41

I like Meowtallica.

And The Big Meow for the album name.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 06/11/2025 23:44

The Happy Cat Hit Parade!

A perfectly splendid song.

I don’t know that one but I’m going to find it in the morning!

Also Home with the Cat by Neko Fuzz which I came across on Instagram.

Are your boys going to be in the band, @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne?

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 06/11/2025 23:54

Certainly they are. Linney has a remarkable singing voice.

Gizmo is an accomplished zither player.

Yes. The pilot was never released till years later, and it has a very Baroque piece of title music.
I can't place it at the moment.

That reminds me, I don’t think we ever established whether it was Linney or Lenny Kitty was saying No L to on her Ouija board.

Although with the new band plans maybe she was just practising for a Christmas special.
