Well, I understand the kitties have been having a TIME in the Big Easy! One of Pinot's surprises was for them to meet a special Ravens fan, Captain Deeefense, from Baltimore. He's quite a character and, the best part, he won a big time Tailgate party with more trimmings than you could name. The kitties had some great food and took a nap in his big chair. The party will continue tomorrow; today was just a warm up. The girls have been SHOPPING!! They have all been collecting TONS of beads in anticipation of Mardi Gras. The Catmobile has a great spot in Jackson Square so they can enjoy the sights and food.

This afternoon all the kitties gathered in the Catmobile, crossed paws and bowed heads to honor their dear friend Fister, who crossed to the Bridge. They will all miss him deeply. After some memories were shared they went to Preservation Hall for some New Orleans Jazz. The band dedicated a special song for Fister. Knowing he wouldn't want it any other way, the kitties will continue on to dinner, and will meet the horsies for a special evening before the Superbowl tomorrow.

Purrents, everyone is OK, but your credit cards may be in danger.
