Catmobile Kitties, Get Your Sunglasses!

Okay fellow kitties...the Catmobile has arrived! I just got a call from our Chicago crew, their Amtrak train will be in Trenton around 6:00pm. We'll pick them up and they'll stay at my place tonight. Inka can't wait to see her gal pals and we guys will watch the ball game with Soncat.

We leave very early tomorrow morning so charge your cell phones and be sure they're on. We'll call you when we get to your neighborhood so nobody has to be outside in the rain or cold. Get a good night's sleep!

Your friend,
Groucho

I'll have my digital camera ready with spare batteries. I'll also have my phone with my camera, so I can also send pictures to people's cellphones.

Gearing up!!!

I'm all set - route is in place - I'll meet the Catmobile in the wee hours! See you all soon!

Your copilot - Pinot:)

My three are already tucked into bed. Less chance of them getting grounded at the last second that way!!! They are beyond excited to be seeing all their Catmobile friends again plus horsies and penguins!!! :D Yes, they have their :cool: packed too! :love::love:

We have an experienced driver and copilot, don't worry! :)

Hi fellow purrents,
I just got a text from Groucho. The Catmobile contingent is on their way. All the kitties are snacking and catching up on the latest gossip. They made a quick stop at Quakerbridge Mall to get designer sunglasses for Austin B. He said Sophie, Cassie, Sparkler, the Killearn lassies, and Chels are practicing their cheerleading for Austin B's cat show debut. Everyone was quite impressed with Franklin's performance of "Stairway to Heaven" on his bagpipes. Angel is thrilled to see her kitty gal pals and Chip & Chuck have been purrfect angels. Some of the kitties are waiting to catch the baseball playoffs on the hi-def tv and making friendly bets on which teams will win their divisions.

All is well, everyone is having a great time, and there's plenty of food. Please post in if you hear from your traveler?

That explains Mac texting me for some extra money. Do not let him get himself in trouble with his betting! He knows NOTHING about baseball!
Football's his game.

Sigh......it is soooo quiet here without Franklin and The Princess.....I even miss the bagpipes....:D
Chelsea has a tiny little surprise.....she wanted to make the girls feel like royalty so she bought each one of them a cute little tiara.....she thought they would go well with the sunglasses......:love:

I don't miss the bagpipes. Not one little bit.:D

I did get a quick call from my three. It was hard to understand them because they were all giggling so hard. I did catch, "we left, pressie on kitchen stove."

So I went and looked. There was Chips favorite catnip mousie laying on the stove. Somehow, I think he will want it back when they get home. :D :love:

Awright, who snuck the contraband in? All catnip is to be handed over and "doled" out as needed. You guys! Am I gonna have to call your Meowmies???

Oh great, bagpipes, sunglasses, tiaras, and now nip. Oh, the kittehs will be having a good time, I'm sure!

"MEOWMIE! I gotz a emerald tiara dat goes wit my eyes!! Can I hab some emerald glasses now? Thanks, Chels! Luv, Pinot"

I have one question - what has happened to the copilot? It MUST be catnip!

Sing every body now..."My life is SO bright, I gotta wear SHADES!!!!"

Oh Pinot, don't worry about a thing sweetie. That white kitty is only a model showing how beautiful those sunglasses are. She's reminding your purrents how much you need them to go with your emerald tiara. :love:

Just got back from setting up Butchie's "digs" for the weekend. The icing on the cake is RB MooShoo's picture on top of the cage for luck.

We're all set and ready to go!! All we gotta do now is meet the travel bus and auntie Eileen (catmom) up at the train station and get back for Butchie's first ring!!! The Kitty Bagpipe Band and the cheerleaders need to be ready to go 10 am sharp near the entrance of the cat show!!! Butchie's "crib" is to the far left against the wall.

My girls took two alarm clocks with them, Donna! They will have they whole catmobile crew up in plenty of time for Butchie!

Good luck sweetie!

Thanks KK. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!!!

I just talked to Groucho and Cassie. Our kitties arrived in Hartford late last night safe and sound. They all are so excited about tomorrow's events! Sophie and the cheeleaders were practicing their cheers and moves most of the day. After a short break, the cheerleaders will join up with the PT Kitty Bagpipe Quartet to be sure both teams are purrfectly coordinated. This will be quite a spectacle!

Cassie said they're looking forward to having Austin B join them with all his blue ribbons for their stop in Mystic Seaport. Chip and Chuck are in awe of everything and are on their best behavior.

I am so glad to hear my scamps Chip and Chuck are being good! I knew Angel would be but those two??? Good to hear they are enjoying themselves. :love:

I collect all the contriband on the tour bus...Momcat buys a huge bag of the stuff at the cat show. I DO hope you guys have adesignated driver. Driving while impaired is NOT COOL!!!!

Nothing to fear, the very careful Catmobile driver drinks nothing stronger than root beer and being a hoomin the nip is not an issue. He loves our kitties so much that he'd never put them at risk.

I called Groucho's cell phone a short while ago and Sophie answered. She said the girl kitties just got back from shopping and were comparing their new treasures. Sophie said there were so many vendors at the Cat Show they didn't know where to start.

She also said Chip and Chuck were having a blast helping the guy kitties wash the Catmobile before heading to Mystic Seaport first thing in the morning.

I did ask Sophie to remind everyone to check in with their purrents.

She's fine, don't worry... we girls went shopping and got the most fabulous things ever... Chels got a gorgeous collar with rubies and a boa. Then we went for some sushi. I'll tell Frank or Chels to call you or text you or something...

Chip and Chuck went to bed early, they were playing with the water hose and were very tired!

Gotta go now cause we have to get up very early tomorrow.

Purrs,
Sophie

Just got a text from Ming: "Havin' a ball. Butchie's meowmie duznot like bagpipes played loud. I played real good, tho. Cheerleaders wur awesome! You ought to see Chels' sumglasses and tiara! Bye!"

"Hi Mom, going to Seaport to see the fishies and stuff, lots of shopping, Austin B did real well, what was that restaurant you wanted me to look for? Everyone's being real good. See you soon - Love, Pinot"

Sheesh...all I got from my two was:
Fun fun fun!

Groucho called to say they arrived at Mystic Seaport this morning. When he called, the Aquarium wasn't open yet so they went back in the Catmobile to watch tv. Austin B is making friends with everyone and loves the Catmobile. While they were shopping, Chels and Sophie got Austin B a soft warm fleece to match his sunglasses. He is in kitty heaven!

MoFF, Groucho also told me the older guy kitties are going to have a private talk with Chip and Chuck about their antics at home. The older kitty guys intend to let them know how lucky they are to have such a wonderful home and try to get them to modify their behavior to a more acceptable level. They'll tell them it's okay to do kitten stuff but it's not okay to make Meowmie crazy or use the window blinds as a jungle gym.

The Cheerleaders were outstanding and were a real hit. Some of the other kitties from the show now want their own cheerleaders too. Our PT Kitty Bagpipe Quartet really wowed the crowd, even the dogs! They each played a solo on their bagpipes and were wonderful. Bagpipes are not easy but our Quartet didn't miss a note. After their grand entrance and performance, many of the girl kitties asked them about their tartans and how they could get one too.

By the way, the older kitty guys are not enjoying their catnip cigars around the little ones.

Please tell Grouch to thank them for me!!! Those scamps can really be a handful at times.

They did send me a picture of Angel Rose wearing her new tiara and a rose hoodie they found when they went shopping. She looks so lovely!!! :love:
There was a quick note from Chip asking if his favorite toy mousie was ok. Sounds like they are having a wonderful time. :D :love:

Text from Cassie...

Hi Meowm
Connecticut iz very beautiful
I see autumn leaves
And you doezn't, ha haa
Lubz, Cassie

From the Catberry Mobile...
"Hi Mom, we played with the fishies, went on a "Nautical Nightmares" tour (some of the wee ones got a bit scared!), did a private tour of the Tall Ship Charles W.Morgan, went shopping a lot, ate at Mystic Pizza (you know how I am about cheese!), I showed the kitties where your old house is, we cheered on Austin B (who did really well), the bagpipers played, Auntie Donna and Auntie Eileen were real nice, but I saw your text that it's time to come home. I know, I know, it's almost that day when all kitties have to stay inside and be safe. I can't wait to show you everything. The Catmobile will sail tomorrow. See you soon!! :love: Pinot"

My guys have only mentioned how fun Austin is to be around and how much they like him, they never told me exactly how he did at the show. Does anyone know? :confused:

Text from Cassie:

Okay Meowm
I know you told me to get my tail on home
But Iz having fun with my kitteh frens
Home soon
Lubz, Cassie

I'm sure she'll be home in the next couple of days.

Groucho called a while ago. He and Inka had a great time but are beyond tired.

Abby joined Sophie, Sparkler, Chels, Angel, and Samantha on the cheerleading squad. They were really excited when Abby taught them a great new move.

Buddy, Poppy, Elmer, Groucho, and Mac took Chip and Chuck to a quiet spot at the Seaport and had a stern talk with them about behaving themselves at home. They explained that being a kitten is a lot of fun with new things to find every day. But not everything is there to play with. The kitty guys told them how lucky they are to have a loving furever home with a wonderful Meowmie who loves and cares for them. Chip and Chuck were strongly advised to show Meowmie how much they appreciate her by being good boys at home.

Abby and the cheerleaders are snacking out and gossiping about all of those good looking kitty guys at the cat show. Apparently there was some big time flirting going on.

A couple of their new penguin pals are over with Ming and Franklin watching them clean and pack up their bagpipes. The penguins never saw or heard bagpipes before and they want to know all about them. Sydney and Bob are setting up the state-of-the-art stereo speakers for the farewell party with the rest of the penguins. A big surprise is coming; the girl kitties went shopping this afternoon and got sunglasses for all of their penguin pals.

I have a question for my fellow purrents: Have you ever tried to explain the Catmobile trips to someone that never heard about it? Explain that all of our kitties have their own cell phones and some even have their own credit cards? One morning I tried to explain it to our assistant director (who is also owned by a cat). I think she considered doing a referral to employee assistance.

I don't even try to explain....I already have a rep for being a bit on the crazy side...Catmobile discussions with non-Pet Talkers would probably end with me in the looney bin....:D

As the kittehs say, "What happens in the Catmobile stays in the Catmobile". It's just better that way.:D
