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?

Happy Christmas everyone.

Tree has been decorated today - as usual the cats aren't really bothered.

I'm sure one of yours pulled it down last year.

Basil?

Frank is pushing his luck by sniffing round my alcohol collection. I'll share my turkey, maybe even some pigs in blankets, but never the alcohol!

One of them did last year. Not sure I ever identifed the culprit - although I had my suspicions...

Lex was a bit shocked by Raven hissing at him.

I think Girlcat has been teaching Tobias how to be a bit more like Boycat was - today he managed to fall off the cat tree! The house nearly shook with the thump of him hitting the floor and he did look a bit shocked right after, but no sign of any injuries & he's being perfectly normal (normal for Tobias that is) now so presumably no harm done.

He'll be back up there writhing about soon, though he does normally manage to hang on somehow when he slips off the platform.

Very Happy Christmas to all cat families from Wedgwood and Leanora 's house

Grin

I'm glad he's okay.

Gizmo is being normal for Gizmo, too.
I had the turkey on the work surface, and Gizmo sat on the floor, gazing up longingly at it. I expect he hoped that it was a cooked chicken, of which he is inordinately fond.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne are you absolutely sure he's lost the ability to jump? 🤔

scalt · 24/12/2025 22:57

This cat has excellent hearing, with those huge ears. No secret is safe while he is aroond.

Those are amazing ears.

What’s his name, @scalt?

Yes. He can get on to the TV stand, and from there, on to the table.

Has either of them shown any interest in the ladder?

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 25/12/2025 00:28

No, I gave up with it.
I sent it back to Amazon and got an £80 refund.

BTW I put the turkey back in the fridge, in case Linney got big ideas.

Or in case Gizmo suddenly managed to jump

Linney might have been filled with Christmas spirit & knocked the turkey down to share with Gizmo.

Therewerelions · 25/12/2025 02:44

Merry Christmas to all the cat slaves on my favourite thread.
Special mention to Lenny and Gizmo for their amazing gnf faces.
All your cats are wonderful.

EmpressaurusKitty · 25/12/2025 06:43

Merry Christmas everyone from Kitty & me.

Merry Christmas from The Stray Grinch enjoying her heated blanket after eating two breakfasts. I fed her at 6.30am as she was being very noisy and when my caffeine kicked in I realised DD had already fed her. God knows at what time 😮 Can I blame Santa and his sleigh bells for setting her off?

My neighbour sent me a video of Kitty shamelessly flirting with her in return for Dreamies & head rubs.

Franken says Merry Christmas and he is not sharing his neck.
