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?

Is that Kitty's son @EmpressaurusKitty ?
They look like they got on well, which is lovely. If he is her son, I take it you fostered him too?
(Apologies if you have already explained all this in the past!)

I think Kitty was rather glad to see the back of him from what @EmpressaurusKitty has said. I always imagine her like the woman in the Chris (Simpsons artist) cartoon.

@learieonthewildmoor Cat 4 has grown into a beauty. I forget - are they Cat1-4 to protect online identity or do you call them that?
Just have this image of you calling them in!

Protecting their online identity. They’re all named after family members: Cat One and Four from my side, Two and Three from his side. Rosemary is from my side, though I was very tempted to call her Luigina.

Well, they seemed to get on ok most of the time.
Although when they first arrived, Kitty immediately found the high perches that Son of Kitty couldn’t reach, and whenever she got into a covered bed or a box he’d instantly climb on the roof which would then sink down on top of her. In general she was fairly quiet, though she seemed happy enough, & he was very bouncy. I had no idea of adopting her at this point.

Then SoK got adopted. I came back from waving him off, a bit concerned about whether Kitty would miss him, and found her leaning out of one of the beds SoK used to like jumping on and winking at me.

And I sat down next to her & things went on from there, until about 3 months later it hit me like a ton of bricks that she was MY CAT.

So she stayed.

Beggar of it is we are going away for my husband and I both being 60 in December so not ideal time to take on a cat.
If they are slow on vetting us and will wait though I would love it.
There is also another cat at the same rescue who "has been there a while"
Breaks your heart you want them all

Breadcat24 · 10/11/2025 20:58

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne and I dfinitely could not cope with 3 Gizmos!

I'm not surprised.
I can barely cope with one.

Oh indeed, you get your heartstrings pulled on those rescue sites.

I am purposely not looking at the local Cat rescue places. Blue Cross and Cats Protection are both quite a way away and, round here at least, are virtually impossible to adopt from.

Although one of the rescues I follow out the most adorable two mini panthers on a post which somehow appeared on my FB feed. They have to be adopted together though and I think I would definitely break my neck one night if I had five black cats!

RumNotRun · 10/11/2025 21:37

@Breadcat24that fluffy black cat is absolutely gorgeous!

Breadcat24 · 10/11/2025 21:43

This is the little soul that has been there a while

@RumNotRun Please do not tell me this means I need 5 cats

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 10/11/2025 21:44

@Breadcat24 - have you considered the black fluffy cat to act as mum/dad for the three kittens?
Seems an ideal solution to me 😻😻😻😻

Breadcat24 · 10/11/2025 21:46

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats I would fill the house with all of them. (but my husband would move out and I like him too)
