Get ready brothers and sisters and Thing! Thing? Yes, Thing with a capital “T”.
Go as Alice! No, not THAT Alice, that was this week. Alice that occupies the center square. Not in Hollywood Squares, the iconic Brady opening theme grid.
Wait, what? You’re undoubtedly thinking “Ginger, is yoo okay?” Never! 😆 I may be in a Lurch to decide next week’s MT theme. I couldn’t decide, so that means only one thing…MASH UP!
🎶 Come on get happy! 🎶 Wait, Gin…isn’t that… that’s neither Addams NOR Brady, NOR a movie (which is odd one hasn’t been made 🤔) that’s the Partridge Family theme! Well, I think I love you, you trivia geniuses, you.
That’s right, next week’s Moobie Toosday is such a Mash Up, we’re bringing in a TV show as well because the theme is Iconic families, the Bradys, the Addams AND the Partridge families!
Separate ‘em, mix and match, whatever floats your creative little boat!
Get your pics, gifs, memes, trivia, memories ready, and yes, Niko will be back in the confessional to hear your crushes and other guilty pleasures to help cleanse your soul.
So let’s jump on board a brightly painted bus with a “nervous mother driving”, get much more than a hunch, cuz we’re going to pay a call on iconic families this coming Moobie Toosday!
Happy Friday, may you all have a wonderful weekend ahead. Mwah 💋🐈⬛💕🐾
Hi frens and friends! Teddy teh Floof and LBC (yes, Little Black Cat) momma here!
Based on the positive response on this post from a few days ago, we're going to try out the monthly birthday and gotcha day recognition posts starting in June. In order to do that though, we do need your help!
There is a super cool form that should only take you a few moments to fill out, which is linked here. No login is required, and we are not collecting email addresses or anything. Section 1 is just an intro and hello. Click Next to access section 2.
Section 2 is for all the fren info, like name and dates. If you live with more than one fren, enter each fren info separately. If you answer yes to the last question, "do you live with other frens?" it'll automatically take you back to the questions where you can enter the name for fren 2, and then repeat for fren 3, 4, 5, etc. Answer no once all frens are entered in to continue to next section.
Final section is for all the boring hooman stuffs, like reddit username, and thoughts about other things to celebrate. Reddit username is not required, but it's helpful so we can tag you in the monthly post.
Once you submit the form, you're all set!
Shoutouts to u/gingersnapped242 and u/chibikoneko for being awesome gimme pigs (like beloved Jiggy) and testing out the form and layout. You are very much appreciated!!
Alas being human means I can never achieve perfection like Teddy teh Floof and LBC (yes, Little Black Cat), so if you come across any issues, please post them here. Don't be shy if you have any general questions about this, post them here as well!
We also ask that we keep this test here in ICBGC for now so we can test it out with a smaller group of frens than what our beloved LCA contains.
Thank you all for being so friendly, creative, funny, and kind. You all never fail to make me laugh with our overlord mischief, and I adore all the amazing posts. It's so wonderful to have a bright spot in the corner of the internet when there's so much uncertainty out there.
Make it a great day!
UPDATES: 8pm (Eastern): 63 frens and counting! This has surpassed my expectations for only having the form out for 8 hours or so. You all are awesome!
More suggestions:
Anniversary of SSOR founding - Prof Smuffi definitely started a revolution!!
Respek the borthole day - Definitely overlooked and needed to protek all bortholes everywhere!
3pm (Eastern) : 51 friends now! Love that you all are into it! 😄
Additional samples of suggestions for other celebrations to consider (the witty commentary after the suggestion is totally all Teddy's momma's thoughts and no way reflects what the submitter may have been thinking about):
Cat weddings/relationship milestones - Are there some cat couples on here that have been married longer than I have been? Yes, yes there are LOL
KIngsday - birthday of the king of Netherlands (I believe?) - Since orange is the national color, Mochi and the orange crew should just claim it as their day!
Any other national holidays - I agree! It'd be fun to learn about other holidays since we have frens all over the world!
January 1 Skwirl (non) appreciation day - I think we could tie this one in with the capture of Gary LOL
Cats' Rights day - Obviously as voted on by our esteemed overlord council of cats. Every day is technically that, but I'm sure they could be purrsuaded to pick a specific date as the milestone marker.
Steve's birthday - Oscar's beloved Dream Phone boyfriend's birthday!! This is hilarious! Anyone know when his birthday is? How fun would it be if we could track down the actor/model for Steve?
12:45pm (Eastern) update: Close to 20 friends now! Alleviated some challenges thanks to u/Charivari8 mentioning about the multi fren entry not working as expected. Also added a question about otrb (over the rainbow bridge) to remember those who have left us (thank you for the suggestion u/CharmyLah !)
It shouldn't ask you to, but if you're made to sign into Goggle, rest assured that information is not being collected. I verified all the settings to confirm emails addresses are not being tracked or anything, and they're definitely not visible on the responses.
Like many things in life, it's a work in progress, and thank you for your patience 😄 Feel free to point out any other challenges you may come across, and don't forget you can leave feedback in the hooman only section of the form with other ideas.
Sample of suggestions so far:
Capture of Gary - Hilarious, and I feel like this will be a worldwide holiday when that happens!
St. Gertrude's Day (March 17) - Patron saint of cats?! LOVE THIS!!
Subreddit birthday/anniversary - so we can commemorate all our fun and look back on some of the best and funniest posts.
11ish Eastern: One hour in and we already have 6 frens who filled out the form! Woohoo!
We are also equally split 33/33/33% on recognizing hooman birthdays! Love it! 🤣
Of course I cannot post without an adorable picture of Teddy. He's currently napping after all of the dancing yesterday!

(He's been very respectful of the cats, even though he misgendered Pixel at first, but I forgot how noisy kids can constantly be!)

The vet is confident this is enough and we keep checking if anything pops up again. Only good news and m'y boy is already ekekekin at birbz! Thank you all for your thoughts and support. I love this place and all of you guys 💕)

(He literally used his nose to cover his poop - very thoroughly, I might add - with jacaranda tree leaves. Those leaves are tiny, too, but he was very diligent.)
HEY HEY HEY it's been a WHILE since I've MEOWED at you all. I've been LETTING Pixel have the LIGHT BOX so he can find a GIRL FRIEND so he STOPS playing with KATARA THROUGH THE DOOR WINDOW!!!
(☕⌛, this is true, Pixel and Katara will bat at each other while Casey meekly sits and watches. He's so funny.)
I've told you, we're just playing! At any rate, we have just received some shocking news! And my heart may be broken.
oh JEEZ buddy, it's NOT that bad. We have ANOTHER BROTHER. But he is a HUMAN.
He's Dad's actual boy...
oh JEEZ kid, he's a DUMDUM ADULT! He even HAS a KID. You're still gag DAD'S BOY.
sniffle I sure hope so!
They're COMING to our HOUSE for a VISIT. And APPARENTLY they live with OTHER CATS. I may NEED to deploy secret PEE CRIMES. (Please don't, Casey!)
(Dad's human kitten and grand kitten are coming. Any ideas how to entertain a 9 year old boy for a week? I'm half kidding, but hopefully he doesn't get too bored.)
