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?

@LostCats2 is it possible that you've got CRPS?

So none of the drs of physios have mentioned that. But I will bring it up with the Pain Clinic when I'm next there. It's looking likely is an unknown (as yet) post Covid problem. Apparently a friend of my mum's has very severe pain after Covid now.
I keep saying to DH that in 50 years they will know exactly what this is and how to treat it.

I am however very grateful to my GP Surgery and local hospital, they give me morphine when needed in hospital and my GP appears to have me on a list of v unwell as I pretty much always get called back sameday which I know is unreal.

And yes of course - Gizmo and his great journey! Village over should be nothing for him - as long as he doesn't have to jump.

Aye, poor old Gizmo.
I went out last Thursday in the pouring rain while both cats were out, and came back two hours later to find Gizmo looking balefully at me on the front step, and Linney curled up in a ball on the sofa inside.

Views from the bus.
I'm on my way to one of the dementia choirs.
It's held in the village where my stupid ex now lives. So far, I haven't bumped into him.

I've started to really enjoy this bus journey every week. It only costs £1 because of my Old Lady's Bus Pass.

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.

That's awful, I'm so sorry. Life can really deal you a shit hand sometimes. 💐

There are workmen in the house and once again Kettle was not consulted. Very alarming.

Kettle looks like he believes that he's the CEO of a multi-national company.

One great advantage of using public transport is being able to gaze at the view rather than the road.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne and a beautiful view it is

learieonthewildmoor · 12/11/2025 14:58

When Mr. AgentofthePatriarchy isn’t getting up for work at 5.00am he will often get up deep in the stilly night and have snack time with the cats. Everyone enjoys it very much. Cat Three particularly loves snack time: so much so that he wanders about sometimes having a little cry that it is not happening.
I found the photo of Cat Three on the chopping board.

I'm having a few days leave this week. In my out of office message I've asked my colleagues to contact Lenny who is minding the shop for me...

Be careful Grumpy.

Lenny is clearly planning a complete takeover of your business and is likely to float it on the stock exchange, giving Kettle a chance to add it to his already substantial portfolio.

Well, I've ploughed my way through Series 2 of Crown Court and am becoming increasingly annoyed by the verdicts. I disagree with them all.
I wish I could write in to complain.

Yes I know I'm starting to take it too seriously

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 12/11/2025 21:49

Linney is bored with Crown Court and wishes to make his feelings known.
He believes that I should be putting biscuits in his bowl rather than watching

Kettle might be able to camouflage himself on Grumpy’s rug.

The photo tile I ordered of Vixen arrived today so she has joined Alizè and Pigeon on the memorial wall.

It's right opposite my bed so I feel like they're still with me in a way. Although I now feel like I need a full face picture of Pigeon to match the other two photos.

Pudmyboy · 12/11/2025 22:58

How lovely tobe able to say good morning to them when you wake up Rum.

For those of you concerned that Cat Four may not have caught the fly; rest easy, it is caught and safely eaten.
It’s too early for wine, right?

Unless the cat was pregnant when the OP adopted her, I don’t approve. I can’t.

Even though the OP says it’s just one litter & that she’s got homes lined up - and the kittens are gorgeous & it’s obviously fantastic that everything went well. It’s the principle.

I won’t comment on the thread but volunteering for the local rescue, I’ve seen too many abandoned or badly rehomed kittens & written too much for the website & social channels about why it’s kindest all round to get your female cat spayed ASAP.

learieonthewildmoor · 13/11/2025 05:59

Five kittens means not her first litter. Totally torn between “KITTENS!!!” and “Responsible Pet Ownership 0”.
We got Cat One because my not-mil’s family are irresponsible fuckers have different cultural values to me regarding pets. They had the nerve to make made snarky comments about how we bought him a bed and toys and took him to the vet and were keeping him inside. He was taken from his mother as soon as he weaned, and it shows.

learieonthewildmoor · 13/11/2025 06:04

I’m thinking we should have a caption competition for this photo.
Cat Four’s mother’s human suggests:
