Prison Dramas, Bands and Ouija Boards - the Excellent Cats audition, sing and plot

Our feline overlords have so many current strings to their joint and several bows.

Auditioning for Series One of The Prison Cat, forming a band, and continuing to plot against their enemies by means of their Ouija Boards - will they even have time to sleep now?

Life with the Excellent Cats just gets more & more exciting! Thanks for the new thread, Broon.

Kitty would like to confirm that there is always time to sleep.

Hello! Sorry I keep going awol. Life is so very chaotic atm. Rum I am so sorry to see the news about Vixen. I did love her ever-present blep. I also keep meaning to tell you (sorry if I already have) that my crazy 6yo has an imaginary friend called Ghostie. She is a real troublemaker.

Benny is showing off his beans and orange floof in an attempt at cheering the thread up.

My two boys are engaged in their usual nightly dispute.

Cat Four will be back up dancer and harmony vocals but can’t promise to stay for the entire three minutes of the song if a fly shows up. She will go on the cover, too.
Cat One will do percussion. We will line up a lot of stuff and he will knock it down.
Cat Two will carry the leaves and gum nuts everyone needs.
Cat Three will be the band follower while he figures out what’s going on.

Cat Three will also be Cat Four’s hairdresser.

EmpressaurusKitty · 07/11/2025 06:33

Cat Four is very beautiful.

We managed to catch the moon in the balcony net last night.

Another song they should probably cover-What's new Pussycat!

There’s enough for a concert & an album now!

Also Year of the Cat.

No idea what The Stray could provide as she's too busy sleeping after bringing up different toys to kill in my bedroom at 3am. Including the "I have got a live present for you" yowling 🙄 Just my bedroom. Not DDs bedroom, or the landing, or hallway.

Fred says he'll dance with his ouija board and fluffy worm toys, but only if no one looks at him or tries to touch him.
Frankie says does he have to get up to be part of the band as he is very busy sleeping, napping, and snoozing.

Thanks for the new thread!
The Pollocks would like to audition to be dancers (c1970s Pan's People...)

Girlcat will be a dancer, but more Legs & Co era. Tobias will be an adoring groupie - can do a great "adoration" face, but not terribly good at much else. He may have claws like finely honed razors, but he'd stop the fans coming in as well as keeping the riff raff out if he was a bouncer.

Catering maybe?

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 07/11/2025 10:08

Yes, I can absolutely see Tobias as Chief Bouncer.

I'm sure that Gizmo will be glad to assist him, when not playing his

(........checks last thread to be reminded about outlandish claims made for Gizmo........)

ZITHER.

Kettle could be the bouncer for the gigs, but he will face off with all guests and also the band members so maybe a little over zealous. Unless they manage to sneak past him while he's napping, which is actually quite easy to achieve.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 07/11/2025 10:12

EmpressaurusKitty · 07/11/2025 10:03

They could all assist in the catering.

Let's be honest, it's the one thing they're all very, very good at - eating.

They could have a special section for swapping pouches of food that they're currently rejecting (despite their hapless owners having foolishly invested in 96 of them).

Don’t forget Gizmo also has his side gig as the Face of Scotland.

Kitty wants to know if she can crowd surf on her skateboard.

Still looks like Gizmo is trying to flirt with Linney to me!

Pianoaholic · 07/11/2025 11:27

I was going to suggest Herbie as caterer
Food is his raison d'etre!

Pianoaholic · 07/11/2025 12:36

Actually maybe scrap that.
Herbie would try to eat all the food before it got to the rest of the band!
