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?

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

  • I DGAF but you look like you do

I saved you all from a dangerous fly & you’re not even GRATEFUL!!!!

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.

Edited

I said I wouldn’t but the fabulous @toddlerteaplease did, so I’ve backed her up.

Oh look human, someone made a mess!

@EmpressaurusKittyi completely agree. I hate that people say stupid things like "it's just one litter" "it's better for them to have one" and all that kind of shit.

Oh no, look what Cat Two did!

Cat 4 is saying 'Orchids should be let loose, not kept in captivity!'

Pudmyboy · 13/11/2025 17:10

Golly what a mess! Can you use his fluffy tail as a brush to help clear up?
Hope it's dry-ish compost that is easy to clean up!
He really does look like he doesn't give a hoot and is proud of it!

KeziaOAP · 13/11/2025 17:14

Cat 4 "Wasn't me mum was just surveying the damage inflicted by others".

Breadcat24 · 13/11/2025 17:27

@Pudmyboy It was probably lashing the fluffy tail that did it

I was planning on watering my prizes so luckily the mix was dry, but it took the two of us to tackle it. Mr. AgentofthePatriarchy is now suggesting I get rid of my orchids in order to prevent a second apocalypse. Googling “Ways to nail orchid pots to window sill” now.
I am going to post the photo of the carnage on every “should I get a kitten?” thread I see.

learieonthewildmoor · 13/11/2025 18:53

Cat Two is in the bathroom trying to carry off my nail file.

EmpressaurusKitty · 13/11/2025 18:53

I ended up getting upside down baskets for plant protection, @learieonthewildmoor. Is something like that realistic?

Empress, I am thinking about something like that, but for the cats.
Just after I took the nail scissors from Cat One, Cat Two came for the nail file again.
Cat Three is my favourite cat of the day. There’s a lot to be said for cats who re scared of bathrooms.

Son of Kitty liked grabbing and killing tea towels so much that I ended up having one special one hanging where he could reach it, & one for my use on a new high up hook.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne: thank you for that captioned photo😄 I might put you on speed dial whenever I want to post it.

I am not sure that Grumpy should be leaving Lenny to answer the phone: surely Sybil is the one to do that.

Surely Sybil is the boss & shouldn’t be expected to answer the phone?

Did Gizmo enjoy Crown Court?
My brother’s collie has apparently been a TV addict since seeing a trailer for a Countryfile feature on sheepdogs.

RumNotRun · 14/11/2025 09:44

I bet Sybil has a lovely telephone voice, and is incredibly polite and helpful. I imagine her as having an RP accent.

DS and I met a pretty NMC in the GP waiting room.

I suspect he's just worried that one of the episides featuring him as the defendant will be shown.
