Saturday morning means one thing, and that’s the Hedgewatch Café!
Saturday was another fun-filled day with delicious noms and drinks. The noms included Sossidges with mash and gravy, lasagne with nip bread, salmon with creamy nip, and nip sparkle sponge cake. The drinks included the always popular Ginger Cat Latte, Nip tea & biccy, hot nip chocolate, and Brock’s gingerbread gin!
The vibes were great as always as we moved into the post-Christmas and New Year’s holiday portion of winter. I also helped the last hour as my cat Lil Bit had a purrista shift where she worked with the always amazing Pumpkin! They made a wonderful team!
Lil Bit will be back again for another shift this coming Saturday!

Nipclub, January 8, 2026 Sekurity Update
Thursday, 1-8-26. Nipclub. Happy New Year!
On January 8th at Nipclub, we had an Elvis 90th Birthday Bash theme!
The smell of fried chicken and biscuits permeated the bar when I walked in; it smelled so heavenly. The music was rockin’ with Elvis and Elvis-inspired songs!
Susan and Puddin’ (@Georgiarealist) were waiting for me with freshly fried chicken when I walked in. Louis (@psiangelic) was eating a monstrous peanut butter, banana, and bacon sammich. Moo (@moothemousecat) had served some Welsh rarebit, and Breezyboi (@breezeboi), and Tiny Pearl (@TinyPearl) showed up, and we discussed what Welsh rarebit was. Breeze declared it rarebit, akin to rabbit, since earlier humans lacked rabbit hunting options; thus, cheese sauce served as a replacement.
Huh? After a bit of research and discussion, we learned it’s like a beer cheese fondue that you pour onto thick, rustic bread and put under the broiler.
It’s pub food.
Breeze suggested pumpernickel and Guinness and planned to make it this weekend. Sounds delish!
My Sekurity watch reached over an hour, with no activity present. Slow night. Could security risks still be enjoying time off?
Pearl was serving up Elvis-shaped cookies and banana peanut butter cocktails. Banana, peanut butter, and bacon were on theme, but we were getting grossed out by Elvis-themed pizza, so Pearl made a regular cheese pizza, a lovely butter cake, more fried chicken, and some righteous cocktails.
There were still no sekurity risks yet. I kept checking the sekurity system sensors and cameras we had spread outside the building and the grounds, and nothing was happening. It was so quiet; they must have fixed the algorithm!
More discussion of Guinness ice cream floats, deformed Yeowww catnip bananas, and cat barf in the middle of the night.
Pearl shared images from a vintage Midwest cookbook with recipes for canned shrimp casseroles, Vienna sausage, hot dog towers, etc. That started a whole new conversation about Spam!
No sekurity risks at all tonight. We all had a great time, with the fun music, food, and friendly conversation!
Please join #Nipclub every Thursday night for a new themed anipal party!
FurryTails January Events
Cats of Anarchy Annual Christmas Party!
Cats of Anarchy had its annual Christmas party on Saturday as well!
Despite their appearance, the wicked duck twins planned other actions.
Before we began, we dedicated the party to our wonderful friend and member Thorne, who traveled OTRB a few weeks ago.
As we began, a very special guest, Buddy the Elf, joined us!
But suddenly we were all surrounded by the duck twins’ newest evil invention, evil candy canes! But once again, we had our secret weapon in Gilbert, who came up with the brilliant idea to use Buddy as our defense, along with giant marshmallows, who took no time dispatching the evil candy canes, as he loves sugar!
Finally, they could sit down and have a wonderful Christmas dinner to cap off their 2025 adventure season!
RuffRiderz Annual Christmas Ride
The RuffRiderz had their final ride of 2025 with their annual Christmas ride!
It was a trip to Hawaii for everyone. Every team hit the road to different parts of the island!
In my case, my team, TylersTitans, headed first to the Aloha Topiary in Kauai! Then, we went to Maui and rode the zipline!
After that, we went to Pearl Harbor and paid our respects to everyone lost there.
Finally, we ended our ride soaking up some rays on Waikiki Beach!
Everyone enjoyed the incredible journey, perfectly concluding 2025’s events for the RuffRiderz. They plan to return in March to start the 2026 ride!
OTLFP December 2025 Wrap-Up
Dec 6:
It was quite an honor to broadcast #OTLFP Live from the stage at the Mistletoe Magic Holiday Party 2025. We learned that Millie & Pixie both have small, low-key Christmas celebrations. Pals talked about how they celebrate, and there was a lively discussion about favorite Christmas movies.
Dec 13:
Elvis @Uskdwellwer had a great time in his first-ever appearance on the #OTLFP stage. We discovered his embarrassed daddy had to sit in the naughty seat in the front row of the doggy training classes! Elvis is busy planning his Cloud Warming Party for January 17th, and it sounds pretty exciting!
Dec 27
#OTLFP closed out the year with a holiday party at #Furrytails. Lots of pals joined us for delicious food, festive beverages, and fun & friendship. We shared about our holiday gatherings and celebrations. We shared helpful tips for keeping pets safe and comfortable in cold weather.
Island Time
Mele Kalikimaka from the beautiful island of Pawgaritaville. Our location is on the many islands composing French Polynesia. Life here is paradise. Warm weather, a gorgeous beach and a great little bar that is home to our bi-monthly pawties. We have a friendly vibe and a chill atmosphere, perfect for getting together with friends. On Pawgaritaville, you will never be a stranger for more than one day.
On December 20th, we held our annual Christmas pawty on our beautiful beach. As always, the pawty began with our traditional toasts. The initial toast honored Over the Rainbow companions, following which, absent companions received a toast. We also had a special toast to the animals still waiting for their forever homes.
Our Quiz Mistress, Sassy, @3phibotticelli, began with one of her trademark holiday quizzes. All the participants had a great time. What followed was a wonderful evening of holiday music provided by our talented DJs and island-influenced food and drink served up by our barktenders and created by @Kittehboi. Friends came and soaked up the atmosphere of our Christmas in paradise. When the last note left the p.a. system, the last of our guests either made their way home or slept in one of our villas on the beach.
If you desire to experience Pawgaritaville, the next pawty occurs on February 21st. We hope to see you there.

Nipclub, December 18, 2025 Sekurity Update
Thursday, Dec. 18th, Nipclub. It was a Brunchmas Pawty theme, which was the purrfect pawty for all the weary souls trying to get everything done before Christmas! The pawty had a somber beginning as Pearl (@Tinypearl) beloved fluffy orange cat, Butterscotch, had gone over the rainbow bridge. They dedicated the party to her memory. Panfur Louis (@psiangelic) is filling in at the bar for Pearl so she can be with her family.
Upon parking the spaceship, I caught an intruder close to the parking zone entrance. DJ K-Boi @Kittydaboi has the night off, so Gator (@RealFakeGator) said we might have an open mic. Moo (@moothemousecat) was feeling a bit harried, and P and Jeego (@SeattleP) were watching the Seahawks play the Rams in the Sports Lounge, hoping the Seahawks would win, of course. Apparently, the Seahawks aren’t playing well. (They ended up winning!)
Moo and I are having a cocktail together while I watch through the window, ever diligent in my search for security risks. I spotted an interloper right outside. It’s been a silent evening so far, with not much to report. Raven (@Indulgedfurries) showed up with a gorgeous photo of Cosmo the pup and Butterscotch together. Cosmo went OTRB recently as well. It’s tough to lose two anipals so close together. We’re sending Pearl good energy. We’re just hanging out, not talking much, while I watch the Sekurity system video feed on my phone, just in case a spammer shows up. My taser is ready just in case the need arises, but I’m feeling subdued tonight.
Caught another sekurity risk right after the toast to Butterscotch and Pearl. Got him with my taser, and he folded like a cheap Temu lawn chair. I put him in our jail cell and went back inside the bar. There were luscious chocolate mousse cakes and vibrant red poinsettia cocktails waiting, while a few friends came in and out.
Finishing the evening, Louis presented a spectacular Brunchmas buffet; I sought a to-go container as I departed. Leftover noms for tomorrow! Sekurity risks captured tonight: Three.
Until next week.

Flying With Lucky
Flying with Lucky#TheAviators Festive Flight Turns into a Rescue Mission!
Hello everyone. Welcome to flying with Lucky, where I keep you up to date on happenings with #TheAviators flying club. I have been a club member for 12 years; 5 of those years as the leader.
On Sunday, December 14th, #TheAviators took off on their annual festive flight from Toddy Furrington Airport in Bearford.
The flight began with Captain Rocky nicking my flask of tequila for a little liquid courage. (I taught him right). A large group of doggos and meowers took to the skies over Bearford and jetted 10 days into the future. The Christmas Eve tour headed southeast to London. The lights of Piccadilly were spectacular.
The tour went to Dublin, where people spotted leprechauns hanging Christmas lights along the streets. The Little People sure know how to paint the town green. One supersonic flight over the Atlantic Ocean, and #TheAviators were in New York City.
Once in New York, the distress alarm sounded off in Captain Rocky’s cockpit. Santa Claus, the jolly old elf, was trapped, which put Christmas in jeopardy. The brave pilots of #TheAviators converged on Santa’s last known position to find him stuck in a chimney. #TheAviators saved Christmas by pulling Santa and his sack of toys out of the chimney.
The next scheduled flight for #TheAviators is the quarterly tribute flight in January. Search #TheAviators hashtag for more flight details.
