Hi fellow kitties!

Hi Pinot,
I'm relieved to know your Catberry is working again. Cassie and I didn't forget to contact you, we just couldn't get through. Meowmie has been home sick this week and I've been so busy taking care of her I completely forgot about this weekend's events. I talked to Soncat, since he had his guys night out tonight with his friends, he said he'll stay home with Meowmie so I can join all of you. Where should I meet up with you? I can jump an early Amtrack to Ellicot City or hitch on with the Catmobile if it hasn't left yet. I just have to throw a few more things into my back pack then I'll be good to go. Can't wait to see everyone again!

Your friend,
Groucho

Picked up Groucho...Sunrise Breakfast doesn't have much sun, but it's OK...always a good time with the horsies! :) Preakness Day!

The Catmobile picked up my gang, pipes and dancing shoes and all, early. They are just so excited about being together with all their friends, including the horsies, and making more beautiful music and choreography together again!

I wondered how the Skype ap got loaded on my phone! Now I know. I sure hope Sydney and Ming were watching their proteges with pride.

It's pretty quiet here now that Franklin and The Princess are gone on another Catmobile adventure. Nothing to do but pick up the mess left behind. Sheesh..who knew packing for the Preakness would create such chaos? Chels was on the phone with Sophie, for what seemed like hours, coordinating their accessories. She must have pulled out every single pair of sunglasses along with hats, boas, tiaras, kilts and dancing shoes she owns because all that stuff is in heaps throughout the house.
Franklin on the other hand just packed his fav pair of Foster Grants, a couple of kilts, one baseball cap and his bagpipes....:)

Oh what a day it was! We were pulling for our friend Orb but it wasn't his day. Oxbow was really on his game. Good race!

We had the traditional sunrise breakfast with the trainers where we heard all the gossip, then went back to the stables to make sure all the horsies were OK, then we had a tour of the facility with Orb - what a nice horsie! The police horsies made sure we were safe - so many people! Then there was the late party in the stable. Didn't get back to my house until after Mom and Dad came home from church! We're here now trying to think what our next move is....the journey continues.....

Purrs, Pinot

Cassie here. Today is Victoria Day, which is a holiday for our kitty friends in Catada. Could we please zoom up to Ontario in the Catmobile, visit the Found Kitties and their dear Dad, and maybe we will see some horsies too. (The Mounted Police) Then next weekend is Memorial Day, similar three-day weekend :) My meowm keeps saying how thankful she is for all of our Pet Talk Friends! Sometimes her eyes leak when she says that, and I am not quite sure why. Our Pet Talk Friends make me happy! Meowm is funny that way though. I know sometimes she gets the leaky eyes.

:love:
Cassie

That's okay, Cassie. I get leaky eyes sometimes when I think of how wonderful all my PT friends are. It happens sometimes with meowmies.

Does anyone know where are cat kids are? Last I heard they were heading to Canada to visit their friends at the Found Cats Motel. We are in for more severe storms here in Kansas so I hope they are still way up there or somewhere else safe. :love::love:

They're here. I can see the Catmobile from my window. They had a great time at the Cubs-White Sox game yesterday. They got back from today's game early because of the rain and thunderstorms. I have the windows open because it's not raining right now. I hear music playing softly and purring. They know to come right inside if the storm siren sounds. I am going to check in the morning to be sure the litter pans are clean and they have enough water and food. I heard something about going to a meow-seum because the weather is supposed to be rainy and sticky again tomorrow. They just might have tickets for the Blackhawks game, too.

Meowmies, I have the cat kids here. They have tickets for the Cubs-White Sox game today. Cassie hopes they will see some Chicago police on horsies on their way up to Wrigley Field. Frankie is getting his glove ready to catch a ball. Our pipers and dancer are performing for the 7th Inning Stretch, so they've been rehearsing! Litter pans are clean and they have plenty of fresh water. There was rain and thunder overnight, but the storm sirens didn't sound, so everyone was okay.

Whew! That's a relief! Could I please get a report on how Kimba did on the 'pipes? It's his first public appearance and, like any caring meowmie, I hope he did okay.

Kimba, the pipers and dancer did great! The fans loved them! The kitty ladies looked terrific in their caps and sunglasses! Frankie caught a ball - the kitties were so proud of him! Park management was so impressed with the pipers and dancer that they gave the entire group a tour of the park afterward. Cassie was disappointed that there is no catnip growing out by the ivy wall. The ensemble did an outstanding job. I am not sure if there is another adventure before the All-Star Game. Has anyone heard about the group's latest plans?

My horse crazy Mac wants to know if anyone is up for a trip to The Big Apple and watching the Belmont Stakes?:D

Hey cool cats!!

Utchie here. We are planning an impromptu get together this weeked, (okay it's a party BLOW OUT!!!)since meowmie is petsitting in New Haven (45 minutes away).We have her routine down to a science. She comes home to feed us and scoop the boxes in the morning (10:30 a.m.) and is gone by 2 pm for the night.

So here's the plan...party starts at 4 pm Saturday (to make sure meowmie is gone). Feel free to bring anyting you want, nip, treats. We'll have set ups and party favors and sleeping bags for anyone who wants to stay over. You guys have GOT to be outta here no later than 9 am. or we are dead meat. This will give us enough time to get rid of the evidence and clean up. Hey, we're already grounded so WHY NOT???

So fellow puddies, how about it??? It's been a long time! Let's PARTAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Utchie and crew

Cassie would like to hang out with Elan and any other "senior" kitties while the young'uns are having fun :)

A text from Cassie:

Hi Meowm
I am off to Moosmom's house
To visit Elan
Meet Silvester because I'm smitten
And watch all the young'uns at Moosmom's house
having a good time together...
You have to stay home
cos you w-u-r-k ha haa
Lubz
Cassie

I sure wish Merlin could be with you all :(

I truly believe they're right in the midst of everything and all the kitties will welcome their beautiful spirits to the festivities. After all, Merlin and Ming will be there to guide their musical partners to another outstanding performance.

Franklin and the kitty pipers have a new song that they are dedicating to all of their RB pals: Somewhere Over the Rainbow......

There's a lump in my throat reading this. What a perfect choice of music to honor all of their fellow kitties who are now at the Bridge and still greatly missed by all of us. :love: :(

Darn it! Now my eyes are leaking! Sometimes I miss Ming so much!:(

Sending comforting [[[[[HUGS]]]]] to you :love:

Thanks, momcat. I still have Mac and Kimba and I still love them both to bits...but something's missing in our house and in my heart. I suppose there will be for awhile..:(

Ming and Sydney are making beautiful bagpipe and harp music by the Bridge, and they and all our RB friends are sending down love to us all. They love that the pipers and dancer down here are playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
