Nipclub February 5, 2026: Sekurity Update

Feb 5 Nipclub

Thursday, 2-5-26. Nipclub.

Nipclub had a pre-Super Bowl Left Shark party! We have exceptional “Left Shark” themed noms tonight plus the typical game-day noms.

For those of you who do not know what “Left Shark” is about, it refers to a dancer in a shark costume during the now-infamous Katy Perry 2015 Superb Owl half-time show. Please look it up; it’s hilarious!

I’m wearing my Superb Owl Sekurity uniform and doling out the Toronto Cat Rescue link occasionally as our charity of the week.

We’re talking about the Puppy Bowl and Kitten Bowl, usually on before the Superb Owl. This item enjoys immense popularity and is ongoing. Apparently, the Hallmark Channel is the place to find these amazing pet-centric events.

K-Boi (@Kittehdaboi) is spinning some righteous neo-swing music, and the usual suspects are showing up. Seattle P and Jeego (@SeattleP) are very excited about the Superb Owl, as they live in Seattle.

Moo (@MootheMouseCat) is whipping up tropical turquoise sharky cocktails made with blue Curaçao. Deliciousness! There are cupcakes with shark fins, candy sharks in cocktails, etc.

Pearl (@TinyPearlCat) said her home is being attacked by a serenade of crickets. I imagined crickets wooing each other from Juliet balconies. Astro the cat has eaten a ton!

Mizz Bassie (@MizzBassie) was talking about the iguanas where she lives falling out of trees because of the cold and what happens to them. Do they thaw and leave independently, or is there another process involved? We learned they are an invasive species, so few people are saving them. Poor things!

We had a lot of fun talking about Pearl’s new pup and my humans’ new kitteh, then we all ate pizza and crab legs and washed it down with more delicious tropical shark cocktails with umbrellas. For those of us in cold climes, it feels like summer in the islands at Nipclub.

No sekurity issues to report, all is clear, even with the drones, motion cameras and my trusty taser. And no shenanigans either!

Sunday’s Superb Owl promises an exciting game that we all expect.

Until next week!

Hello! Dis is Bart! We are TJ and Bart, and we are ready with a new article for the Anipal Times!

Dis is TJ! We take our duties as writers seriously. And we have a vewy important topic today. Walking in da cold.

Bart: Dat’s wight, TJ. Now we live in Florida, so it does not get too cold here too often. But sometimes it does.

TJ: Dis also for our pals who really have to go through da cold so much during the winter. Dey have real winters. Dis is an important topic!

Bart: Dis is also weally for our humans. Because dey walk us, after all.

TJ: And they don’t walk us any differently than! Man, it is cold outside! Why do they go so slowly?

Bart: Dis is so twue! You know we are low to the gwound! Our pwivate parts are touching the gwass!

TJ: Sowwy if that is too stwong for da readers out there, but dis is an important issue for us doggos! Humans, get da lead out!

Bart: You don’t want to be out dere, wight? Well, we don’t want to be out dere either!

TJ: And yoooose humans are supposed to be da smart ones. If we go inside, then we will all get warm! What is so hard about dat?

Bart: But we also have to have patience with our humans.

TJ: It’s difficult sometimes, though, Bart. Cats have it so good! They can go in da stinky box inside!

Bart: And then da humans clean it. Cats are lucky!

TJ: In da meantime, humans, understand! Faster walks, and less time outside when it is cold!

Bart: Dat’s wight!

TJ: Dis concludes our article. We hope dis helps!

Barnaby the Beagle

~ nancygr2012 ~ 1 Comment

Barnaby the beagle wasn’t a fan of freezing weather. The world outside the kitchen window had traded its cheerful autumn colors for white and grey. He was a hound of the field, chasing scents across sunny meadows, not shivering his paws off in the icy air.

This morning, the frosty glass looked cold. Barnaby sighed, a huff that ruffled the fleece throw he was lying on. Barnaby needed to go outside and was gently but firmly guided into his little blue coat with a hood he hated. His human pulled on his leash for him to come along. This morning, the frosty glass looked cold.

Outside, the snow was deeper than his legs were long. He plunged his nose into it, expecting the familiar scent of rabbits. It smelled only of clean, sharp ice.

Then, an unfamiliar scent drifted on the wind. Faint but distinct. It cut through the cold with a warm, sugary hint of something delicious. Barnaby’s ears perked up with the usual droop replaced with focused attention. He followed the trail, his little legs working hard, nose to the ground.

He led his human on a winding path to the edge of the local park, right up to a snow-covered picnic table. There, half-buried in the snow, was a bright red mitten. Tucked inside the mitten was a small, foil-wrapped chocolate bar, likely forgotten by a visitor.

Barnaby nudged the find with his nose, let out a satisfied “A-roo,” then looked up at his human with shining eyes. Freezing weather, he decided, might have its charms after all. Especially if it involved hidden treasure.

OTLFP January 2026 Wrap-Up

~ Millie OTLFP ~ 1 Comment

Ooh, what a hug! Fun-filled adventurers, and oh, they sure are fashionistas! What a closet of outfits! It was a lot of fun hearing about postbox spotting and tweet-up meetups. 

The last show of January featured Jimmy, Dodger, and Whisky. What a fun, mischievous bunch! It was great hearing about their fun and games, and the last muddy puddles and shenanigans! Every day, they endeavor to bring smiles to their family’s faces and delight in entertaining their humans.

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

Good luck to Beckett of Voice Rescue Texas USA, Kane from Pendle Dogs in Lancashire UK, Biggie from Leicester Animal Aid in Leicester UK, and Buddy from Rescue Coop in South Carolina USA. 

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

We have a fun-filled diary of guests planned for February and beyond, so we look forward to seeing you all for the shows next month. 

Happy New Year, everyone!  

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

Falsly Accused

“Deer Bob 

I iz hopin yoo can giff me sum adfise? I iz a innosent lil furr hoo keeps gettin da blame for stuff. Der iz a big cat dat wait for me too be sumwer n do stuff like hide boomstix or blow Sumfin up or set fire too sumfin or reek havuk n me get da blaem. It juss da coinsidense dat me der. But her sneekie n noe furr see himz. How Duz me get owt ob deez sichuashuns coz noe furr beeleef me? I aff chanjed mine name to stae anonymonous.

Fangks 
Anonomous”

Ooh my dog — what a pickle you be in. Being an innocent little fur repeatedly framed for boomstix, fires, and general havoc is enough to make anyone’s tail droop and floof stand on end.

First things first: If trouble keeps happening wherever you are, others may mistake coincidence for cause. While you know you’re not lighting the boomstix or lighting fires, to others, it looks like you arrive and—boom—havoc follows.

Here’s what you can do:

Distance yourself from things for a while, avoid danger locations: fireworks sheds, boomstix cupboards, and anywhere marked “Danger.” If nothing booms when you’re not around, that speaks louder than words.

Gather proof. Loudly insisting, “It wasn’t me!” rarely convinces anyone. Instead, try to document events. If you suspect the big cat is lurking, set up witnesses, mirrors, footprints, or even a simple “trap” that reveals who really set the boomstix, like a hidden camera.

Be visibly helpful, fix things, save others before things go wrong. Nothing confuses an accusation like being a hero.

Stop playing alone. The cat succeeds because you’re alone. Stick close to others, especially authority figures. It’s much harder to frame a fur who’s never by themselves.

Finally, remember this: being blamed doesn’t mean being guilty. You are innocent.With patience, evidence, and a little strategic thinking, the truth has a way of coming out.

Stay safe, stay smart, and keep yourself out of the boomstix radius.

Nipclub January 29, 2026: Sekurity Update

Nipclub January 29th, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

It’s still winter in some areas of the United States, so we had a Nighttime Candlelight Winter Hike night!

I’m wearing a snowsuit to keep warm during patrols outside. There was snow everywhere and lovely lanterns on the trail to light the way. The snow sparkled in the candlelight. Delicious, comforting dishes such as chili accompanied by cornbread, plus warm beverages, were available for everyone.

Gator (@realfakegator) is stuck inside a snow globe; he thought he would just roll along the trails. I pointed out there might be rocks or even a waterfall somewhere…. Oops! He stated he would be fine, provided the falls weren’t comparable to Niagara. The glass is tempered safety glass, so he’s perfectly safe.

Our Nipclub blog charity link isn’t on the blog in its usual spot, so I asked Gator about it, and I mentioned it didn’t work last week. Technical difficulties with our charity lately! So, I’m sharing the Toronto cat rescue website; hopefully, we’ll get some donations.

I went out onto the trail to try out my new security drone! A little way down the trail, the drone caught Raven’s Molly cat tinkling outside! My demeanor suggested no major issue, though I did sternly note the existence of discreet cat facilities in the bar and casita.

Pearl (@TinyPearlCat) is here, but she has been having computer issues, but she’s still serving food and drinks.

Initially, my drone observed a shadow, but since it was an illusion, I am now employing thermal imaging.

No sekurity issues other than Molly peeing next to a tree. Just fun in the snow, great food, hot toddies, and candlelight!

Breeze (@KittehBoi) or as I affectionately call him, K-Boi (@Kittehdaboi) is playing R&B mellow soul meow music to soothe the cold away. We are having fun conversing about cats snuggling on the sofa with their humans, while Pearl serves miniature toasted marshmallow cheesecakes and hot rum toddies with lemon. Perfect desserts for a lovely winter night in the snow!

No spammers or security issues to report; just good, cold fun!

Until next week!

Nipclub, January 22, 2026: Sekurity Update

Nipclub Jan 22

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,

Slinky
