My visit with Peanut and Cracker Jack!

[Killearn Kitties]

I was in Chicago for a few days last week and T&P’s mom very kindly took me out to her house one night to meet Peanut and Cracker Jack. What sweet and adorable little cats they are! So hospitable too.

Look at this gorgeous boy!

Afterwards we went out for some Chicago pizza. Very tasty! This is not a picture of ours, just one I got off the web. Ours was much bigger! :p

I am absolutely mortified to say that I did not take a picture of Debbie and Terry :o I suppose I had already met them, whereas I had never met Peanut and CJ before. :rolleyes: :D

My album is here is you want to see more. Chicago (http://www.imagestation.com/album/index.html?id=2123117713)

Oh so nice and sweet! Peanut and CJ are very cute! Lucky are you having met them! :) :)

[Barbara]

Aaawww this wakes all my Chicago memories.

Only purrson I haven't seen is Cracker Jack who looks so cute with his pillow from auntie Tracey:)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

:D :D
What great pictures, Karen!

Terry and I really enjoyed your visit and I know Peanut and CJ did too. :D

[Randi]

Aww Karen, you're so lucky, getting to meet Peanut and CJ! :) How nice of Peanut to show you her house. :D That picture of CJ is so cute!!

Gotta go and see the rest of your album now ....

[catnapper]

Great pictures! I didn't even know you went on a trip!

So glad P&CJ were a good host and hostess! :D

[Edwina's Secretary]

What wonder photos! Makes me so homesick. The Wrigley is one of my favorite buildings (did you see it a night spotlit?) And of course...the Prudential.... where Don and I had our wedding reception.

[catlover4ever]

What wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us. Someday I hope to get travel around meeting PT'ers.

[sirrahbed]

How cute!! I enjoyed the pictures here and also in your album, Karen:)

I am not surprised that a PT friend would have pictures of the furrkids and not the purrents;) Would a non-pet person understand THIS?:p

[momoffuzzyfaces]

AWWW! How cute! I want to meet them too!
Thanks for sharing! :cool: :D

I passed the Wrigley building all lit up on my first night. It positively glows white! I wish I had a picture of that too.

I'm glad you all like the photos. :D

[ramanth]

Nice pictures!! I see Peanut just loves showing off her house for guests. She did the same for Andy and I. :D

[Edwina's Secretary]

And dear Peanut....love the fashion statement! Puts me in mind of the very popular Ugg boots! And oh, oh that pizza!

[shais_mom]

great pics Karen!
Isn't the fountain awesome!?

[Killearn Kitties]

The pizza and the fountain were both fabulous, and well as the adorable cats! :D

[jenluckenbach]

oh great :rolleyes; now I want pizza!


glad you enjoyed yourself. Lovely hosts you had. :)

[Vermontcat]

Oh you are so lucky that you got to meet CJ and Peanut!:)
I was lucky enough to meet Butter and Mimi on my vacation.
Peanut and Mimi are my two favorite senior PT kitties besides my Samantha.
PT meetings are so much fun!:D

[jazzcat]

Great pictures!!!! That Cracker Jack is so adorable and how wonderful that Peanut gave you the tour of her house.

That pizza looks awesome I haven't had a real Chicago style pizza since my last visit in 2001. I'd love a Gino's right now!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Karen, Great pictures. I'm so glad that you had such a nice visit.:) It's great to see that CJ loves his catnip pillow too. I love pizza and it sure looks delicious.:)

[gini]

How did I miss this thread? Karen, great pictures and what a special treat for you to meet Peanut and CJ. If they aren't the cutest kids.

I love the "house tour" that Peanut gave you.

Your visit with us was way too short...........but I am grateful that all of us got to meet you.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Ugg boots! I had heard of them but didn't know what they are. I was calling them her eskimo boots. ;) :D

[Edwina's Secretary]

Come to SoCal and you will learn all about Ugg boots and why they are called "Ugg!" Such an interesting fashion statement to wear them in the summer with a very short skirt! Ugg indeed.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

OMG!!! I have to admit I had no idea what an Ugg boot really was. Like I say, I had heard of them, but can't say I've seen them. So I went online to check it out and OMG! I hate those uggly things! I've seen them around and have always thought they were uggly! How in the world did something so uggly get to be so fashionable? :rolleyes:

....'Course....there are a lot of things that are "high fashion" that I think are really uggly. Either I'm getting old or fashion is getting weirder by the year. :rolleyes:

[Killearn Kitties]

It must be pointed out though, that Ms Peanut is very adorable in her cute boots!

[Edwina's Secretary]

It would be impossible for Ms. Peanut to look anything BUT adorable.... I agree!:D

[NoahsMommy]

Awww.....looks like you had a nice meeting. :)

Isn't CJ a sweetie?? I adore that first picture!!

Probably because they are SO warm and toasty! I LOVE wearing them in winter. Peanut looks SO cute in her natural ones.
