Well Jessica just sent this photo from her phone.

I hope the boys stopped long enough to let Sam and Jessica get in the car too. I don't think this is really what Eddie had in mind. :p
They will rendezvous with the catmobile soon!
I think Daisy wants to sit up front. She appears to be glaring at the back of Eddie's head. Should I suggest he trade places with her? :D:D
:DWell, the Fister-mobile has met up with the Catmobile and we're well on the way! The crew will be hitting my house late tonight (early tomorrow) for the festivities leading up to the Preakness. There's an escorted tour of the Pimlico Race Track at 6am on Thursday, the 14th, with breakfast at the venue following. This is a very special breakfast with the Jockeys, owners, and the kitties have a special reception in the stables with the horses. There is the Black Eyed Susan race on Friday (for fillies, this is a biggie), and a parade on Friday evening. The horsies have prepared a special spot in the parade for the Catmobile! Then, the big event, the PREAKNESS is on Saturday, the 16th. The kitties have a special spot in the Grandstand (not the lowly infield for MY friends!) and a party following.
Meowmie will be ready for all at the house - it's a Maryland Party, Kitties!:D ...and remember, the code of silence still remains! No humans know the full details!!
Love, your copilot and friend, Pinot :love::);)

Geez Fister! Are you sure you know how to drive a right-hander on left -hander roads?????
I think Samantha and Jessica just fell into the Tidal Pool!!!
Yikes! You just missed hitting the Washington Mounument!
Will we make it to Maryland????
Well, thank goodness they got Samantha and Jessica out of the tidal pool! I don't know WHY the kitties came in through DC anyway, but that's another story. The Catmobile had to go rescue that crew it seems.
Meowmies, the kitties are fine! They have all checked in here at Pinot's place, they had their breakfast at Pimlico this morning with the tour, and they're taking a break. Pinot has shown them "her" Robin's nest under her deck; there are babies in there that she has to keep an eye on through the slats. That was quite upsetting to Mama Robin-it's bad enough when just Pinot is out there, but the whole kitty crew!! Oh my!! :rolleyes:
Fister has parked the Fister-mobile for the time being and that group is in the Catmobile for the trips downtown. Pinot's Dad and I have gotten everyone settled downstairs with all kinds of toys and treats, Animal Planet on the TV, and there's lots of gossip going on down there! Tomorrow's another busy day-I hope they get some rest! They're going to meet the GIRL horsies! :)
Oh my- what a cool European car you all are driving! I can see Tigris getting his goggles out and senaking around my purse - I am sure he wants my credit card.

Hi Maggie, Gossip huh? Have you managed to overhear any juicy tidbits? I know for sure you'll pass whatever you hear along to your fellow Meowmies.
Groucho checked in this morning. He said Pinot's purrents are very nice and making sure they are comfortable and have everything they could possibly want. Their new horse pals gave the kitty contingent a wonderful welcome then gave them a tour of the stables followed by a blow-out party. There were even places fixed up inside the stables for any kitties in need of a nap. Groucho then said they were pleasantly surprised when the horses said they made arrangements for the kitties to run a few laps around the race track. Groucho said that was a real treat!
He also said our Lady Edwina got into quite a discussion with the jockeys about wearing more fashionable silks. It seems the girl horses are very impressed with our fashionista and can't wait to talk to her about how to make themselves more fashionable by obtaining the right accessories for their bridles, saddle pads, and blankets. Those fillys couldn't seek better advice!
Has anyone else heard from their fuzzbutt?
[QUOTE=momcat;2151072]Eddie warns the kitties about those sleeping places in the horse barn. He, Fister, and Daisy stopped by to visit his cousins outside of DC...and there are kitties sleeping in the horse barn certainly...but those kitties are expected to....oh he shivers to use the word.....WORK!!!!Quote:

Edwina is working up a portfolio of ideas for the horses. I hope nothing she designs interfers with them running!
Well, the kitties have had a day! The Black Eyed Susan race (for those uninformed, the Black Eyed Susan is the Maryland Flower), which is just the lady horses, was won by Payton d’Oro - a lovely girl! Now, I don't know how many are aware, but the kitties have a scoop (again!) that, for the first time in who knows how long, there's a filly favored!! No filly has won The Preakness since 1924! Rachel Alexandra has had a chat with the kitties and she's very confident! Although many of the kitties are still backing their original favorite Mine That Bird, Lady Edwina is backing the fashionable gal Rachel Alexandra. Lady Edwina is not to be reckoned with! ;)
The Catmobile was a hit in the parade this evening. Edwina's designs are the hit of Pimlico! Eddie, as far as those "working" kitties in those barns; don't worry-those kitties are in the lap of luxury!;)
I haven't been able to tune in on the gossip, but if I hear anything I'll let the Meowmies know. You know they can be a BIT secretive!! I'll post any news, but the kitties are fine and resting up for the big event. :D Talk to all soon!
Maggie
:DThe kitties pick a winner again! Rachel Alexandra is the first filly to win the Preakness since 1924, and only the fifth filly in history!:)
The race was about an hour ago, it should take the kitties some time to report back, but from what I understand, the Fister-mobile and the Catmobile are on to Victoria Day with the Catada crew! They're leaving in the morning and should see their Meowmies on Tuesday. I'll update further when Pinot and the crew return to the house this evening, but I think they'll be at the stables late tonight. Lady Edwina and Rachel Alexandra have some dishing to do!!;)
Cassie said she is having a wonderful time in Maryland, looking forward to Catada, the Catmobile has everything she could possibly need, and home soon.
The kitties are off to Catada- they had a time at the Preakness!! Roco and Pinot danced the night away at the barns, Edwina was a fashion advice counselor to all the fillies especially, Fister had everyone in stitches and gave rides in his sports car, Groucho passed out the usual legal advice, and it seems Daisy was a winner!! :)
I'll wait to hear from all at Victoria Day - have a good trip everyone!!:)
:love: Oh Yes Roco is still talking about his Dancing the night away with his Darling SweetHeart Pinot.. Oh wow we all had a Blast.. To think the little Fily won.. Alexandrea set a Record for sure.. You go go girl.. All of us babies are sleeping & getting rested up now..
Oh that Daisy! I think she should be signing up with Gamblers Anonymous and not jetting off to Canda! :eek:
My girls had a wonder time in Maryland. Fabulous hosts, they said. A million thank yous to Pinot's family. :love:
