OTLFP March 2026 Wrap-Up

~ Millie OTLFP ~ Leave a comment

Hi everyone!

We kicked off the first show of March with Pacer. What an adventurous pal with Caincross, beach trips, and ball games! 

With the clocks changing in the USA/Canada, it set the timing out for the UK for the next couple of shows. But UK clocks changed on 29th March, so now only Australia and New Zealand are out for another week, and come 5th April, we will all be as normal, well until October! 

Now, back to the show!

Next guests on the show were Ginger&Romeo chatting about Furrytails and their role within the team. 

Coop, Smokey, and Willow then joined us for the last show of the month and shared what a fun-filled life they have surrounded by love.

It was also a sad end to the month as both Pacer and Smokey travelled over the rainbow bridge. 

Sending big hugs to both of their humans. 

In the adoption segment, we also featured lots of pets in rescue needing homes, and hoping that the featured pets find their forever homes soon.

Good luck to Nealy from MadraDogs in Ireland, 

Romeo from Pawprints Dog Rescue in Warwickshire, UK, and all the kitties at cafincorporated in Australia. 

Also, all the other pets in their rescue centres who are all waiting patiently for someone to give them a second chance at a forever home. 

We have a fun-filled diary of guests planned for April and beyond. Ooh, and we also have our 400th show and our 10-year anniversary coming up too!

So until next time, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you all for the shows next month. 

Love and hugs,
Millie, Pixie, and the #OTLFP team 

Paws to That, Callie Cat!

~ nancygr2012 ~ Leave a comment

I’m Callie Cat, and we need to discuss what you humans call a ‘water bowl.’ Every morning, you plunk it down with that self-satisfied grin.

‘Fresh water, Callie!’ you chirp. You think because it’s clear and wet, it’s acceptable? Please. By 10:00 AM, that bowl isn’t a drink; it’s a stagnant pond of despair. I lean in, whiskers twitching. It’s a gamble every time. If the water level drops even a millimeter below the rim—just a fraction of an inch—the bowl is officially ‘empty.’ I will sit next to it and scream the song of my people until you rectify this injustice. You look at the bowl and see 95% capacity; I look at it and see a desert wasteland.

Also, if the bowl is too narrow, my whiskers scrape the sides. But if you really loved me, you’d leave a half-full glass of ice water on the in the bowl. That’s the premium stuff.

Now, be a dear and top it off. I can see a microscopic hair floating near the left edge, and frankly, I am disgusted.

With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day Is Fun: Book Review

~ sunnyillustrator ~ Leave a comment

With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day Is Fun is an anecdotal manga written and drawn by Hidekichi Matsumoto, following the everyday antics of the mangaka’s dog and cat, and sometimes lizard.

Inu is a fun-loving little dog with a heart of gold and a giant personality. Neko is a grumpy cat who’s a softie at heart. And between them, they keep Matsumoto very busy and very entertained.

This manga is relatable, humorous, and adorable, with a unique style that sets it apart from most manga, and includes photographs of Matsumoto’s real-life dog and cat in each volume, so you can see the faces behind the antics.

As of now, there are eight volumes available in English, with a ninth promised by Matsumoto, so it’s also not a long manga to get into. It’s great for busy pet owners who just want something cute and funny to relax to.

Approved by my cartoonist, Sunny, and myself.

I give this manga two paws up! Try it if you get the chance!

Nipclub March 19, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

Pie Day, Nipclub, March 19th. What fun! When I arrived, Breezyboi (Kitteh Boi) and Pearl were talking about March Madness, basketball, and knitting scarves. I arrived just barely on time and had to change into my avatar after I got there, because I was wearing the wrong sekurity uniform!

Angus was lurking about, as was Raven, and I heard there might be lots of pie tonight!

Pearl has Oreo cookie pie, egg and bacon breakfast pie, buttery and savory salmon pie, and more! P and Jeego and Harvey Button were also there, and everyone was chatting and eating pie.  

Pearl was talking about her humans going rock and mineral hunting with a local club. It sounded really interesting, collecting agates in the wild.

While everyone is talking about wind-powered lapidary saws, I go check the Sekurity video and FLIR cameras for activity. Nothing yet. It’s suspiciously quiet. Maybe everyone is still recovering from St. Patrick’s Day?

Raven had arrived but was already sleepy, so Pearl gave her some catpurrcchino. Didn’t help her much though, so she took the rest of the beverage to go and left early.

TJS (@TJS12145) popped in to say hello as usual.

Pearl baked blackberry mini pies with Hello Kitty images on top! They were so cute and delicious! 

Louis and Angus are talking about playing music again, going through the record collection. They found some splendid music: horror film soundtrack music from the early 1980s! Zombie slasher film soundtrack songs and all the band members had mullets and big, rockstar hair.

Angus continued the zombie music while I reviewed the sekurity video footage again.

Louis showed how he used Grok to create images of himself in a cartoon world surrounded by rainbows and magical mushrooms. He showed some results. Cool stuff.  

During LATE NITE, Pearl shared some photos of herself as a young, polydactyl girl-cat. Her human found the photos recently, so they were new to us! They were great photos. Pearl couldn’t stay too late as she was too tired, and I filled in at the bar until I closed. I served up cheesesteak pasties and colorful cocktails while eyeing the sekurity cameras. No activity tonight, not even with zombie- slasher music!

Someone I haven’t seen for ages, PazzNiko_cat, showed up for LATE NITE and hung out with us, enjoying the different pie and cocktails.

It started getting very late, and the crowd dwindled down to a few anipals, so I served a last call nightcap. I set out some to-go boxes, put away the pie, and locked up the bar. It was so nice to see a new face and listen to different music.

Until next week!

Cats Of Anarchy Third Anniversary Party!

~ tjsfromx ~ Leave a comment

The Cats of Anarchy team celebrated their third anniversary with an enormous anniversary and St. Patrick’s Day party!

They celebrated with laser tag and games! Naturally, the party required those bothersome duck twins’ attendance. This instance, they arrived bearing zombie leprechauns!

But, as always, the crew had a plan!

Aerial pursuit began, aided by the force, leading to the usual zombie defeat.

Then it was time for the anniversary cake and, of course, some St. Patrick’s Day drinks including Guinness, A leaping Leprechaun martini, Blarney Bubbles, and some Irish whiskey!

Congrats to the entire COA crew on their three-year anniversary!

Here’s to many more to come!

#Weathercat:

My mummy and I both love the weather. She maintained a weather diary using paper for many years during her youth; now, our garden features a weather station we’ve had for quite some time. She finds it so interesting, exciting, and scary.

The UK’s weather feels the impact of its island status plus its geographical position. We are Atlantic driven but depending on the weather pattern setup and position of the jet stream, we can bring in weather from other directions.

Jet steam:

The jet stream is a high-altitude river of wind (5-7 miles up) that steers UK weather, blowing west-to-east, with its position dictating whether the UK gets mild, wet Atlantic weather (when it’s south of the UK) or colder, drier spells (when it’s further north). A fast, straight jet stream brings unsettled, stormy conditions by pulling low-pressure systems towards the UK, while a weaker, buckled jet stream can lead to blocked high-pressure systems, causing longer periods of stable, dry, or even cold weather, depending on the air masses involved. 

When we have a southerly wind in the summer, we have experienced dust storms up from the Sahara. A few years ago, when working in London, the entire city seemed to turn red and there was dust everywhere—it was quite an experience that Mummy loved.

If the winter weather pattern has high pressure blocking, we can then get the Beast from the East, which brings freezing temperatures and snow in from the East.

The cold spell we experienced over Christmas and the start of the year 2026 was driven from the North because of the position of the Scandinavian blocking high pressure. This cold spell has been across Europe, and Lapland has experienced record low temperatures of -42.8c.  Mummy has visited Lapland several times, and the lowest she has experienced is -30c and that was VERY cold.

Do you have a favourite weather? Our mummy’s is snow, she just loves it and finds falling snow and the sparkle and crunch of laying so super special. 

We will delve into some more weather facts and types of weather in future articles.

Nipclub Thursday, March 12, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

Saint Patrick’s Day Nipclub, March 12. The Sekurity team outfitted themselves in lucky green velour tracksuits, and we had drones at the ready to zap some leprechauns!

When I arrived for my shift, Gator was filling in for Moo at the bar and was serving the coolest bar snack: pot-o-gold Jell-O shots complete with tiny candy rainbows!

Extraordinary!

Suddenly, everyone showed up at the same time: P and Jeego, Raven, Mizz Bassie, Pearl, and TJS. After exchanging greetings, I went outside and launched a drone with night vision to scout out the area. I programmed it to go all over the property and report back in real time. I saw a few slow-moving green dots on the camera, then they gathered behind some trees.

Pearl was at the bar, cooking salmon with bright green catnip pesto sauce, and I put my plate aside so I could quickly go out on the golf cart, taser at the ready. I saw TJS and asked if he wanted to help nab some leprechauns.

I slowly drove up to the thick bushes where I saw the activity and got off the cart, taser aimed on stun. I saw movement: four individuals and zapped three of them! I zip-tied the three stunned leprechauns, and the fourth ran off. I knew I would find him later! I put the three in the back of the golf cart and transported them to Nipclub jail.

Score!

I went back to the bar to chill for a bit and had a drink before time to go out to look for the fourth leprechaun.

Louis (@Psiangelic) the panfur showed up for LATE NITE! With a new handle name, I didn’t recognize Louis right away, but “Louisiana the cat” is Louis, whose full name is Louisiana Cajun Black.

Exceptional name!

Pearl serves us gorgeous green cocktails, creamy potato leek soup, and lasagna.

Angus showed up, slipped into the DJ booth, and played some fun Irish music! LATE NITE fun!

Moo showed up late and asked what we were doing. We explained we were listening to bawdy Irish music and eating cheesecake! What else would we be doing?

It’s getting late. Pearl and Moo, the barktenders, had to leave.

I stayed longer, served a nightcap, and locked up the bar. I served the iconic Irish coffee, à la the Buena Vista in San Francisco, and a lovely charcuterie plate with Irish cheeses, crackers, cured meats, and olives to close out the night. I furnished doggie bags for everyone who wanted one and then called it a night.

I never went back out to look for the fourth leprechaun. Oh well.

Until next week!

Nipclub, March 5, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

Thursday, 3-5-26. @NipClub on X.

Tonight, we’re holding a Maple Syrup Festival to continue with our winter theme!

When I arrived for my Sekurity shift at the #Nipclub Pawty Bar, Louis and Harvey Button were already there, as was Jeego and Seattle P. Harvey’s human was editing photos and Harvey had complained about how windy it’s been at his house. Moo served us some maple old-fashioned cocktails and some delicious pasta with sausage, and of course, maple!

Pearl arrived, also complaining about the wind at her human’s house as well. The coming spring seems to bring wind as the seasons change.  

After checking all the cameras in the Nipclub Sekurity room, I went back to the bar. I have the feed on my phone, so I’ll monitor while enjoying some pasta before I go outside to check the perimeter. 

The cats were dancing, even though I’m not sure who’s in the DJ booth right now! It doesn’t matter; everyone was having fun!

Angel Dominique, aka DCKitty, showed up, which was a nice surprise! Jeego and P. suggested we have serious drinks. How about some niptinis? DC was chatting with everyone and mentioned Eminique, her lovely 13-year-old sisfur cat. She even showed a photograph.

Moo had to step out for a bit, so that was my cue to go outside and check the grounds. 

Someone asked about drones and robot dogs. We have the drones, but robot dogs are an excellent idea! Pearl suggested robot cats, and I added robotic badgers to the list. TJS (@TJS12145) showed up on cue and chatted a bit with everyone.

More friends arrived, which caused us to trend on the X timelines of most of our pals!

Pearl mentioned some kind of cat food with gravy and peas, and I thought I was going to gag. Apparently, her human’s cats love it, and they even eat the peas. Gross meowt!

Louis and I realized that it was way too quiet in the bar, so I volunteered to play a couple of tunes because we didn’t have a DJ. I played two metal tunes: White Zombie and Korn, Freak on a Leash. It seemed appropriate for a maple festival!

Louis decided to play some tunes, too, because music makes the party!

Louis loves metal, so the musical theme continued. He played Metallica Master of Puppets and he asked for requests, so I suggested playing some “proto-metal” such as Slade or Alice Cooper. School’s Out is so much fun to dance to! Then he played Ace of Spades by Motörhead, and an Ozzy tune.

More sweet treats from Pearl: maple ice cream with candied bacon and pretty maple pear cocktails.

After a great set from Louis (and some encouragement to try out for late-night DJ!) we closed out the night with fun times and rousing metal music!

Until next week!
