Nipclub April 2, 2026: Sekurity Update

Nipclub April 2, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

Nipclub go fly a kite day! We all have kites to fly on a glorious spring evening.

I arrived at the bar filled with lively conversation about blue jets and red sprites; apparently, these are both upper atmospheric electrical discharge phenomena that occur during storms. Pearl was talking about it, and Gator had a video to share with everyone in the bar. The images were so beautiful, like the Northern Lights!

Apparently, all the pals were talking about big thunderstorms and different lightning types right before I arrived. Harvey, Miss Moo, Pearl, Gator, DC Kitty, Kim Colon, Lily, Louis, and even P and Jeego were there for the early party!

Moo served up some delicious satay chicken skewers, and Angus flew a spectacular rainbow kite. Pearl started barktending after Moo’s shift, and was serving freshly baked calzones and “Black Kite” wine, which was a nice play on words as it had a bird on the label. It was delicious wine!

Someone mentioned Holy Week. I said it was Maundy Thursday (commemorating the Last Supper); Harvey said it was already Good Friday in New Zealand. Raven said her human didn’t understand why the store ran out of eggs…duh, it’s Easter week!

The Artimis rocket was a topic as well, along with light rain during spring weather. TJS showed up with the usual energy and greeted everyone by name.

After more food and conversation, LATE NITE fun started with Angus in the DJ booth, spinning the tunes, and we lit up the night sky with LED kites.

Pearl was serving up righteous noms and cocktails for the LATE NITE diehards. Angus found a fun song for April Fool’s Day, something funny by the great Ray Stevens. We had forgotten how funny he was! That led to Weird Al, so we amped up the fun!

We stayed up late and talked about the lack of humor nowadays and how human children have cushy playgrounds, nothing dangerous. Gen X drank from the hose and ran around until dark!

Pearl retired for the evening, so I stayed for another 30 minutes to barktend and close the bar.

I love staying late for the Nipclub pals!

I found out that Louis and Angus’ humans are both Gen X, just like mine, so we continued the conversation about dangerous playgrounds, not having cell phones, Blockbuster Video stores, and what it was like to roam free outside without supervision.

I served up a nightcap with some deviled eggs while the conversation flowed into Good Friday.

Louis, Angus, and I closed it down; it’s almost Easter!

Until next week!

We’re back!

Good evening y’all! It’s Bart from TJ and Bart, and we are back!

TJ: Yes, it’s good to be back. We need to snooze. So, what shall we talk about tonight, Bart?

Bart: Let’s talk about food

TJ: Dis is a good idea

Bart: One of the stwange dings about hoomans is dat dey think there are only a few times in the day that you should eat.

TJ: Dis is boring. We say, eat anytime during the day or night!

Bart: Now, also, we ask, what to eat?

TJ: Anything!

Bart: Dat makes sense!

TJ: Da hoomans want to feed us canned food called dog food. Do they call their food ‘hooman food’?

Bart: Dis is stwange. But hoomans are stwange.

TJ: Yes. Why do they always scoop up our poop?

Bart: TJ, let’s stick to one subject.

TJ: Towwy!

Bart: Dat’s okay. What do you really like to eat, TJ?

TJ: Pizza.

Bart: But our hooman doesn’t let us eat pizza.

TJ: That doesn’t mean we can’t eat it when they aren’t looking.

Bart: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, dis is twue.

TJ: And it’s also fun to eat each other’s food.

Bart: I don’t like it when you eat my food.

TJ: So?

Bart: Whatever. When is your favorite time to eat?

TJ: Anytime! When we finish writing dis, I say we eat!

Bart: What shall we eat?

TJ: Snausauges!

Bart: Dis is a good idea! Well, dat’s all, folks. We won’t wait that long before writing again.

TJ: Dat’s right! Hope you enjoyed dis! Time to chow down!

Nipclub March 26, 2026: Sekurity Update

Nipclub March 26, 2026 Sekurity

Nipclub March 26, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift

Hello Spring! Sekurity had nifty uniforms this week that were gardening overalls with trowels and pots of catnip!

I arrived late because I was out gallivanting around the multiverse and lost track of time. I checked the sekurity cameras and the video shortly after I arrived.

With our gardening theme in full swing, everyone was talking about catnip: growing it (Pearl is the expert at farming catnip), eating it, getting crazy, catnip toys, etc.  

Various pals watched sports because of March Madness and baseball.

Angus celebrated his 7th gotcha day and brought cake and champagne to share with everyone. It was epic!

Angus and Louis were trying to decide who should play music for LATE NITE; looks like they will share DJ duties.

Pearl made shrimp dishes left and right, and P and Jeego posted a crazy photo of Jeego in a shrimp sushi costume. It is so difficult to describe, but hilarious!

Angus played fun music such as Def Leppard, The Divinyls, and George Michael. After I reviewed the sekurity footage once more, I stepped outside. Music played loudly, and animals danced joyfully throughout the night.

Everyone had a great time dancing, talking about old rock stars, and eating delicious noms and cocktails while the music continued. The dance floor was open and Nipclub trended on X!

Louis played Usher and Juice Newton’s cover version of the song “Angel of the Morning”, so we discussed who originally sang it.

Pearl left the bar to me to close down as usual. Louis wound down with Nine Inch Nails, catnip, and a last call cocktail as Angus and I wrapped up the LATE NITE Nipclub party bar.

Until next week!

OTLFP March 2026 Wrap-Up

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
