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

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

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?

Have you ever been to a shop / cafe called Carpo at Piccadilly Circus, Grumpy? If you like chocolate covered ginger I suspect you’d love this place. Great coffee as well & wonderful hot chocolate.

I'll try that. Cheers 😁

Happy birthday @RumNotRun! 🎂

Belated birthday greetings @RumNotRun
Love the shirt!
(And glad you didn't explode 😝)

@RumNotRun belated happy birthday

Awesome thread 😂

Pebbles thankfully has caused me no further stress after his disappearing act last week, here's a pic of him planning his next escapade. And a bonus pic of Kloppy flaked out on the chair outside snoring 😴

Glad Pebbles is behaving.
Herbie has just gone completely berserk. Rushing around manically, attacking cables, even chasing some of his toys. I didn't know he had it in him- hopefully he hasn't got fleas as he is overdue a bravecto!

@RumNotRun another belated happy birthday! How is your head this morning?

Ahh happy (belated) birthday Rum!
I hope the cats made you roast chicken for your special day 😁❤️

Happy Birthday Rum!
🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

Happy Birthday Rum!

@YelramBob - Pebbles looks very long. Long spine and long legs. My DD has a long cat and when she picks him up he's still on his back legs until he curls them under. It's like he has a concertina spine 😂

He has ridiculously long legs, he's definitely a 'spidercat' 🕷️ He's gaining about 100g a week which doesn't seem much but he's got food on demand and has been wormed 🤞Just never bloody sits still 🙄 He follows Kloppy around everywhere wanting to play, Kloppy obliges for a while but eventually gets fed up and bites him 😹

Happy belated birthday @RumNotRun Matilda hopes you enjoyed your evening out and that you're having as much of a chilled out Sunday as she is.

Happy birthday Rum! Make it a birthday carnivale of three days: celebrate with family, celebrate with friends, celebrate with partner/self. I don’t bother celebrating with the cats because it’s too hard to get them organised.

Here is Cat Three stealth snuggling Cat One and getting the bag back.

Oh that Linney!

I am getting the new playlist for the choir together and typing the lyrics out on Word.

Guess who decided to walk right across the laptop keyboard and change all the formatting?

Clue - it was not I.

It took me over an hour to work out how to change it all back.

Linney didn't seem to be aware that he'd narrowly escaped my wrath.

It's my actual birthday today so we have been for a walk and I met some ponies, then we came home and had roast lamb (which isn't favourite) followed by cheesecake. It's been a fantastic weekend with my sister, nephew, his girlfriend who we have met for the first time, plus my dad and step mum. Oh and of course the puppy dog Elsa who is almost as good as a cat.

Hey Rum - no pix of the NMPs?
Here's a gratuitous picture of a NMSP which I encountered a few weeks ago.

Matilda and Boris's favourite computer trick used to be wandering across the keyboard and rotating the screen by 90 degrees. If you google it gives keyboard shortcuts to change it back, but they never worked on any laptop I've owned. So there is obviously a secret keyboard shortcut only know to cats.

Here's a NMP of a different type.

And a Not My Pony

I’m going to Prague next weekend so ill look out for Czech NMCs.

I’ve just spent 10 minutes moving a wand toy around under a blanket for Kitty’d entertainment while she sat in loaf style, watched closely & gave the odd purr. Eventually she did the bum wiggle & jumped on it.

So there is obviously a secret keyboard shortcut only known to cats

Well all I can say to that is Linney made sure he stood on as many keys on the laptop as he could manage, all simultaneously.

I wish I'd taken a screenshot of the result. I am amazed that I succeeded in reversing his handiwork.

Oh and Gizmo enraged me yesterday, when I was in bed.

I'd put my favourite duvet cover on the day before - a fairly expensive cotton waffle type.

Imagine my dismay when Gizmo decided to pretend to have sex on it, gripping a suitable portion firmly in his mouth, and doing his best to rip it.

I was jolly fed up, I can tell you. Even tapping Gizmo on the head with my copy of The Man in the Brown Suit didn't deter him.

Gone With the Wind or a complete Shakespeare might have been more persuasive.

Happy Birthday Rum, Miss B is celebrating with you (in her snoozy dreams)
