...and Pinot prefers NON clumping litter in one box, please.
Food? Anything with cheese! I think the pizza will be fine, thanks! ;)
Just got a call from Groucho. They are having a great time down the shore playing in the surf and making sand sculptures. Everyone is really impressed with Sparkler's artistic ability with the sand. They're having a big clam-bake tonight then head to Chicago after a good night's rest. When I asked, Groucho said all of the partiers remembered to use their sunscreen today.
There were lots of people from Chicago on my radio this morning discussing the compassion or otherwise of John Dillinger. Thankfully none of them mentioned a carload of rowdy cats blasting into town. Hopefully the furries are all on their best behaviour.
Pinot, you are a kitty after Cassie's own heart!!
I saw the kitties briefly today :) and everything is going very well! The Catmobile made a quick stop at home to re-stock. I set them up with clean litter pans and fresh water. There was a good bit of hay and sand in the Catmobile so I'm thinking a good time was had at the horse park and the shore! Or maybe there were horsie guests aboard the Catmobile??
The agenda for the next couple of days seems to be as follows. I am not sure what happens when...
--go to the Museum of Science and Industry and visit the Harry Paw-ter exhibit
--Go to either Brookfield or Lincoln Park Zoo to visit their big cat relatives
And on Saturday they will probably park the Catmobile as close to the lake as possible and enjoy Millennium Park and "the Bean" Cloudgate sculpture before the big festivities. Cassie wasn't sure if Lady Edwina plans to wear her Venezia hat or her beautiful mask. If the horsies are with them, maybe they will be able to link up with the Chicago Police Dept. mounted officers and get an even better view of the boat parade! I'm not sure where they are going for brunch on Sunday -- if they are coming back to our house or going to a restaurant. If she checks in I'll let you know.
:love: you all,
Elyse (a.k.a. Cassie's servant)
I heard from the kitties again! The weather held for Venetian Night and it was beautiful; and today they are going to the Grand Lux Cafe, on the Magnificent Mile, for breakfast and then some shopping and/or a visit to the beach.
:love:
Elyse

Got a post from Pinot...the visit is wonderful, and the Venetian night went beautifully! The kitties were able to view the fireworks from the Catmobile - you know how kitties and fireworks are...then they enjoyed a private party on a yacht. The yachting association has been very hospitable. Lady Edwina wore the Venezia hat - it seemed right for yachting. Cassie's Mom has been a wonderful support for the kitties and the Catmobile, making sure everything is just so - Pinot wanted me to make sure I thanked her! :)
They'll all be home soon with many stories!
Thanks for the updates. It's no surprise that our travellers had such a wonderful time. What a treat getting to party on a yacht! Edwina was undoubtedly a fashion trend setter with her stylish hat. The picture of the fireworks sent by Pinot was super. I'm happy to know they hit good weather.
I'll be contacting the very careful Catmobile driver about the return trip plans. He needs to know that they might be heading into some nasty storms around the Trenton area.
Cassiesmom, Thank you so very much for taking care of our sweeties and seeing to their needs. Any wagers on how long it will be before they come up with another idea for an adventure?
Oh, would you just look at that spectacle! How I would love to have been there. Are you sure that people do not fit in the catmobile???
Those girls of mine didn't mention the scary fireworks when they called. All they could talk about was the food and how fabulous Cassie's mom had been. The tuna was of the very best quality, I understand. Thank you so much!
Well, Pinot's home, and is she tired!! This was a LONG catmobile trip, but wonderful!!
Pinot had nothing but wonderful stories about the horsie park; they had such a time with the horses! Sparkler stole the show again with Daisy - they are both such jokesters! Pinot and her sweetheart Roco loved seeing each other again; Roco and Eddie reached a 'gentleman's agreement' and they had a great trip. Edwina was, of course, the fashion staple with her beach attire and her hats in Chicago. Groucho & mom were fantastic hosts in NJ, Cassie & mom were great in Chicago! Thanks to all!
Share any stories...Pinot went to sleep pretty quickly!!
I understand from Cassie Cat that I might have sent too much tuna ... :confused: and I still haven't gotten an answer as to whether the horsies came to Venetian Night aboard the CAtmobile. Cassie wants the next trip to be either north, south, east or west.
Hi Elyse,
A very tired Groucho and Inka came in, went right past their plate of snacks, and curled up to watch Animal Planet. I did ask them if any of the horses went to Chicago in the Catmobile and they said two of them did but they wouldn't say who. I also overheard them say a few kitties went in the horse trailers but again no names were spoken. Why oh why are they so secretive about their Catmobile excursions?
