Nipclub, January 22, 2026: Sekurity Update
Thursday, 1-22-26. Nipclub.
Our theme was Burns Night to celebrate the Scottish poet Robert Burns. The Sekurity crew is wearing kilts for this special Nipclub party.
Burns Night is a holiday celebrated in Scotland on January 25th. Read more about it https://www.scotland.org/events/burns-night
There was haggis, of course, but few of us were very interested, and for good reason! However, there was fish and chips, plus kedgeree with wild salmon! And scotch whisky! So delicious!
Pearl (@TinyPearlCat) and P & Jeego (@SeattleP) think this is a party about burning things, so the flames are high and the flaming cat GIFs are everywhere! Pearl even made flaming shots of whisky!
Our weekly charity GoFundMe link for Toronto Cat Rescue wasn’t working, so it was difficult to perform serious sekurity checks without the charity link! Sharing the link always attracts spammers (aka sekurity risks). That is why we have security at Nipclub every week.
Even Harvey Button (@HarveyButtonNZ) noticed it wasn’t working. It might have been a broken link, but unfortunately, our blog master wasn’t around to fix it during the party.
Pearl suggested just sending their website as a link- great idea!
Harvey Botton lost a beautiful fursib, Sienna the cat, that morning. Because the event was sad, many people sent Harvey Botton condolences and soft paw hugs.
There was some talk about the upcoming Seahawks championship game on Sunday, going to sports bars to watch, and the gem show coming up in Jakku next week.
Overall, it was a fun night with lively conversation as usual!
Please join #Nipclub every Thursday night for a new, themed anipal party!
Until next week,

Nipclub, January 15, 2026, Sekurity Update
Thursday, 1-15-26 Nipclub
Nipclub has a snow globe theme this week! We’re celebrating the glorious snow. I was a little late because humans just got a new rescue kitty less than an hour before my shift!
It’s a grand party, with fluffy, dry snow outside. Today, Sekurity agents are wearing amazing snow globe costumes a la Gator (@RealFakeGator), and there are lots of great cocktails and warming noms. So far, I have seen nothing on my first perimeter check of the night. All good! It’s awfully snowy out there, so it’s easy to see everyone’s tracks. Nipclub anipals are having fun, rolling in the snow.
There are lots of questions about the new kitty, but she doesn’t have a name yet. Individuals involved in Trap-Neuter-Return rescued her from a townhome complex, yet she wasn’t homeless; perhaps she was abandoned.
Pearl (@TinyPearlCat) was making exquisite snow globe cookies with clear sugar domes and serving up shots of icy cold snow globe gin. The gin has a super cool round bottle and has a unique flavor.
I keep checking the sekurity cameras and nothing so far. It’s quiet again. Pearl is serving snow globe hard cider while I go outside to check for snow zombies. I thought I saw fresh tracks in the snow through the window! Outside, it was cold, crisp, and clear. I checked out the tracks and followed them out to the casita, and they faded into the trees. Very suspicious.
Upon returning indoors, I observed activity on the camera, proceeded outside, and then pursued the security risk near the tennis courts! Good thing we have motion cameras.
Back to the bar and time for a warm drink. Angus (@Angus_The_Bold) showed up, and he was delightful to chat with. His mommy comes from SoCal, and I’m from NorCal, so we chatted a bit about California. It’s dessert time: chocolate cheesecake, extremely rich and chocolaty.
Finally, I got a decent photo of the new cat and shared it with the Nipclub crew. The humans are thinking of naming her Bettie Page, after the pinup. We talked about the weather as usual, and I’m distracted by the new cat. She’s super cute. Right about the time Pearl was heading out, I bid my farewells and went outside, and my spaceship beamed me up, hovering over the bar.
Until next week!
Slinky_the_Cat, NipClub Sekurity, Late Nite shift
Hedgewatch Cafe on January 17, 2026
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.
