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?

This is the little soul that has been there a while

He/She is lovely 😍!

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

I mean, you don't NEED five cats, but those five cats might need you 😁 I think you should have Captain Fluffy pants and the other sad panther.

Pixiedust1234 · 10/11/2025 23:14

@Breadcat24 I don't think you should adopt the kittens as I think being tabbies they would bring up too many reminders and make it harder for you to heal. I know I couldn't adopt another tabby after losing my soulcat. I think uou need a different coloured cat first and a black one would be ideal. Any idea why the other black cat has been in rescue for so long?

I am currently over the legal limit for cats by 2. Hopefully my vet won’t tip off the council cat police and I won’t get raided.

Breadcat24: make the decision after your holiday. You don’t want to be anxious or fretting on your holiday. You need some time enjoying yourself. The Cat Distribution system always has cats. Keep looking at the photos though. It will help you think of the future and we can see the photos. #forthewin

The culprit who made me an illegal four cat household is watching to see if I will magically produce food.

Don't know if any of you play Wordle. But I would strongly recommend you all try it today 😹

Got it on the last go - as with yesterday when the answer was TABBY.

HumanToCatBeasties · 11/11/2025 06:08

Got it in four, although I think Grumpy's clue helped! 😂

ShoutyCatSlave · 11/11/2025 07:43

Also got it in 4. Wish I'd read this first! 🤣

EmpressaurusKitty · 11/11/2025 07:46

If tomorrow’s word is cat-related too then there’s a definite Litter Tray theme going on!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/11/2025 08:23

They did have BASIL a little while ago 🤣

learieonthewildmoor · 11/11/2025 09:24

Proof that I have officially moved into SENIOR territory, I have no idea how wordle works.

I am recovering from a long illness and am not bendy. Cat Four needs brushing every day and has some mats in her underbelly. I have trained? her to come to the cat tree upstairs for brushing, but this is what she does after 2 minutes.
Her “that’s enough” reflex is excellent.

Ha! I was just coming on to say something similar, was going to add a screenshot of my effort but I got it on the last line so my pride won't let me (oops )

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 11/11/2025 13:27

@Breadcat24 kittens always get adopted first, so if the single black cat is still there when your holiday is over, maybe he or she is the cat for you.

Poor bugger. I love older cats. And black cats. The Cat Distribution Service never sends me a black cat though.

Breadcat24 · 11/11/2025 13:29

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I wear a lot of black so a black cat would be ideal. Always previously had whatever rocked up.

LostCats2 · 11/11/2025 13:49

@RumNotRun I am so desperately sorry. I just found out about Vixen.
There really isn't much one can say except that I am so sorry for you and your lovely clan. She will be so missed. Her blep was epic! My DD agreed ❤

LostCats2 · 11/11/2025 13:55

Ahh, I vote for Sad Panther too

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 11/11/2025 14:18

Picard came in out of the rain today.

Captain Fluffy pants and the sad panther should be the Excellent cats band name. Although that would mean Breadcat would have to adopt them both so they could join the band.

Breadcat24 · 11/11/2025 15:59

@HumanToCatBeasties no pressure there the Cats protection have not responded beyond automated response as yet

LostCats2 · 11/11/2025 16:18

I vote for Captain Fluffypants and the Sad Panther band name.

LostCats2 · 11/11/2025 16:29

@Breadcat24 I was off for so long I didn't realise Breadcat had passed away. I am so very very sorry. She was such a beautiful girl ❤

Breadcat24 · 11/11/2025 16:30

@LostCats2 Thank you. Hope all is well with you now

Breadcat24 · 11/11/2025 16:38

breadcat would say thank you

Picard is an impressive floof-er. Did he get extra floofy because of the rain?

I'm always reminded of Merlin's beard from Sword in the Stone. Pooof!!!

Unfortunately I was finally told last week that the drs just don't know what is causing my very severe pain. So they can't treat it. Most likely Long Covid sadly.
So I have to learn to live with this now. Good for Boone as he gets lots of lap time.
