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?

I fear that with her v loud and tuneless shouting, Agatha would be best placed as a "Bez" (Happy Mondays) member of the group. Unless they are going for old skool punk vibes.

When they do late night jazz, Cat Two will lay on the piano looking voluptuous. She can sing too, but not as well as Cat Four.
We can keep out of the way by giving him Gizmo’s zither to put his head on.

Beebs has heard about the band and made an audition video. She also does adorable beatboxing. www.facebook.com/share/r/17trTcM98P/

I missed the entire last thread as have been busy.
But my girls are definitely plotting something.

Yes, they look like they're up to something @stormsandsunshine

Basil amd Lenny are a bit too busy with furniture 'renovation' to plot just at the moment.

Welcome back!

I don’t know, I think Snowcat’s doing the plotting & Stripey looks a bit doubtful.

Okay, I've now watched fifteen episodes of Crown Court.
That's five cases.

In every case, the accused have been declared not guilty.

I hope this isn't going to be the outcome in every single trial.

Is it the same Crown Court that's on Talking Pictures TV?
Strangely compelling viewing, I found!

Yes, it is.
I've bought the DVDs though.

Aha!
Just watched my first conviction.

He got five years. He should have stayed on the run instead of giving himself up.
🤣

I don’t know. Do 5 years & get it over with or be on the run the rest of your life?

Maybe he assumed he’d get caught anyway & then the sentence might be longer.

Kitty is under the bed, as in between the under bed drawers.

If she’s not out in the next half hour I might have to use Dreamies.

DS2 just sent me a photo of a bag he spotted in Tallinn. Hope he's had the common sense to buy it for Mrs G for Christmas 😅

How’s he getting on out there, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats?

Yes, has DS learnt to speak any Estonian or Russian?

Thanks for asking both. He's very busy and the expectations in terms of work, and the amount of f2f time seems to be far higher than in UK conservatoires. His main conducting tutor is the conductor at the Tallinn Opera house - so he gets to go to dress rehearsals very regularly there too Generally he also seems to still love Tallinn, so all good so far.

He's also getting on well with the Estonian language (mandatory course) and was very pleased with himself when a shop worker told him that when he started talking they'd assumed he was a local. No Russian though.
I think this will be very good for him.

That sounds great, Grumpy!

Joancat is displeased that I have had to disentangle myself from her and get up. She doesn't want to join a band but thinks that she would be well suited to being a prison cat, as the residents would always be around for snuggles.

Joancat's expression is exactly the one Girlcat gives me if I stop fussing her before she wants it to stop.

Vix and Ghostie always use/d their paws to indicate that fussing time was NOT over. Ghostie is a bit more forceful about it than Vix was, but there have been many times in the past when I've had a paw holding me in place for more attention. In fact, that's what Vix did through the cage bars the very first time I met her. Demanding little buggers.

The Argyll Rodent Murderer brought me a dead baby rat this morning

Thanks, Linney.

Aw. Well done, Vixen.
You knew who the right person was going to be. Clever girl.

I finally made the marmalade.

I’ve been having fun this morning at https://habitatsandheritage.org.uk/events/annual-thames-draw-off-litter-pick-richmond/, picking up litter, learning more about the Thames & getting muddy. Highly recommended for locals.

On the way home now to present my muddy wellies for Kitty’s enjoyment.
