A question for the Catmobile kitties

Now that Princess Poppaea Sabina Eugenia and Lavinia have arrived and have their sunglasses, Cassie would like to know if the Catmobile kitties would like to go to Mardi Gras, go somewhere for Saint Patrick's Day or perhaps travel to New Zealand and cheer up their fellow kitties affected by the earthquake there. Some bagpiping and dancing may help to lift their spirits. Or, if the kitties' purr-ents would prefer to keep them home for now, she wants to know if later in the year would be better.

Her bag is ready to pack any time.

Mardi Gras sounds like a good start!

That's a wondeful idea, Cassie! We had a great time at Mardi Gras last time and I'd love to do it again. All that wonderful food! Maybe we can see Dr. John again too.

Here's an idea for all of us to think about.....maybe we can bring our St. Patrick's Day celebration to New Zealand for our fellow pets. We can ask our Meowmies to stock up on extra food and snacks to share with our kiwi friends. It might also be a good idea to arrange for them to get new cell phones.

Chels, Sophie, Pinot, is there any way to order sunglasses for them too?

I'll call the local Jaguar dealer this morning about getting the Catmobile. I can't wait!

Your friend,
Groucho

I know that the Found and Porch Ctas love Mardi Gras and will be there with bells on to enjoy all that great jazz and creole cooking.:love::love:
They certainly would get into the spirit of thinngs and Our Awesome Angels Army would show them all the best places to go.:love::love::love:

Ming wants to know if any of his fellow bagpipers want to perform during Mardi Gras? He has been practicing "When the Saints Come Marching In" for days now.:rolleyes:

:) Yes we all agree thats a good start.. We will all get packed here & get some catnip mousies together & other treats..

Chelsea is soooo ready for St Pat's and Mardi Gras.......I haven't gotten the chance to take photos of her with those green spots.....:rolleyes:
Much to the dismay of some of our neighbors (who wouldn't know good music if it hit them in the face) Franklin has been diligently practicing "When the Saints" along with "When Irish Eyes are Smiling".....and I think I heard a bit of "Danny Boy" the other night.....:D

When I was in Edinburgh during the Tattoo the one thing I still remember is, at the end of the program, one lone bagpiper standing on the castle turret playing "Danny Boy" as the mist came in. Beautiful!!! I'm sure our Franklin will do it proud!

The other night Groucho was on his cell phone with a member of the Quartet. I did hear a great rendition of "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" By the way, was that Sparkler singing "An Irish Lullaby" around lunch time?

Dear Groucho, I will send meowmie to pick up extra cheesecake and Chicago pizza. She picked up a jug of distilled water for her night-time machine (the one that makes funny humming sounds) so I will bring that as well. She will pick up another one because they are on sale right now.

Purrs,
Cassie

Angel and Winnie can go. It will be good for Winnie to have a bit of travel before going to the Royal Wedding. She was very good today. She caught a mousie. We let it go outside.

Angel and Winnie have their sunglasses and are packing. :love:

(Chip and Chuck are still grounded until they are at least one year old) :(

Oh, we have no time to plan, we need to get this in gear! Mardi Gras is March 8th - I can barely type I'm so excited! We'll have to rely on our friends from last year's celebration to help with this...Chels, your colors will be wonderful in the parade! Which krew will we be in this year....oh so much to do, can't talk, must make contacts, Catmobile parking arrangements...where will the bagpipes be playing...gotta go! Talk soon!

Purrs, Pinot

Okay fellow kitties,
There's no time to spare! The Catmobile will be here on Saturday so we can hit the road on Sunday morning. Pinot, does that work for you? Be sure to let us know you'll be coming ASAP so the necessary arrangements can be made. For those of you coming in early, you can stay at my place until it's time to leave.

Right now Meowmie is on her cell phone ordering fried chicken, shrimp, clams, and bbq ribs (yummy!). And get this, for this trip Soncat will get enough bacon-cheezburgers for everyone!

Miss Phesina, does the Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe have a website for placing orders? We definitely have to stock up on haggis chips.

Winnie, do you need sunglasses?

I have to help Meowmie with an agreement she's working on for her job. Ooo, must go because my lovely Inka is calling on my cell phone.

Your friend,
Groucho

Of course... HaggisInAHurry.com

Winnie and Angel are all set to go. Both have very stylin' sunglasses!!! Angel took great delight in advising her mom what to pack. I only hope she wasn't pulling a joke on her on some things!!! :eek::love:

Ming bought green tartan tams for the other pipers and their special dancer!!!:D

Groucho asked me to check in for him, he's on his cell phone right now helping Pinot work out some details.

The haggis chips and authentic Scottish shortbread have been ordered from the Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe. Spencer, the manager, is sending a package out and it will be delivered in plenty of time. In an e-mail Spencer said he hopes the Catmobile will come by sometime because he has heard about the Bagpipe Quartet and can't wait to hear them.

Groucho also contacted Caramella about all of them joining in for Mardi Gras. She has to check with her fursibs and Meowmie about going but is pretty sure they can make it. She'll be in touch with Groucho or Pinot.

Cassie hopes that she can get a hat similar to Lady Edwina's. She will have my credit card :eek:.

Hi Lady Edwina!
It's so nice to see you again!!! How's Eddie doing these days? Please say hi to him for me?

I definitely agree with our friend Cassie on this. You MUST come with us. All the lady kitties depend on your expert fashion advice plus there are a few young kitty girls who very much want to learn from you. Of course your transportation will be arranged.

I so hope to see you and Eddie for our trip!

Your friend,
Groucho

Dear Groucho,

I fear Eddie will try and run off with my hats...want to see proof?

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...tameddie-1.jpg

Sigh....Edwina/es

p.s. Caramella...LOVE... LOVE... LOVE your beads!!!

...talked to Caramella, she's coming and bringing some friends from the neighborhood to celebrate with us! :) I pulled some strings, got some help from Mommy, we'll be with the Krewe of Bacchus this year! :D Mom and Dad are pretty excited about that! The Krewe of Bacchus had a spot at their top secret party for the Bagpipe quartet, so get tuned up kitties! I'll be there on Saturday for the prep of the Catmobile....see you all soon!:D

laissez les bons temps rouler!

:D

Purrs, Pinot:love:

Dear Lady Edwina,

I will look for a hat for Eddie at the same time as I'm looking for one for myself. That way, Eddie will have one of his own, and won't try and run off with yours.

Loyally,
Cassie


Dear Pinot,

Is Caramella bringing her older sisters with her? I hope so! Giz is so beautiful I bet she will turn heads wherever we go. Samantha is also stunningly gorgeous. I will help Amy in case she has any difficulty getting about. Kitty Boo is a spunky orangey lady.

Wanting to include everyone who wishes to join us,
Cassie

Caramella's sisters opted to stay home while the young'un went to party! They're going to enjoy some peace and quiet according their Mom.:)

Hey fellow kitties,
Well, the Catmobile is here and ready to go early tomorrow morning. Soncat told me to take it easy and he'd take care of loading it up. He did a dynamite job making sure snacks and food are in easy reach as well as all toys and necessities. Our package from the Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe arrived filled with haggis chips, shortbread, even a supply of Haggis Helper. Soncat is getting the bacon cheezburgers now and I heard him say something to Meowmie about donuts.

Get a good night's sleep and make sure your cell phones are turned on so we can call you when we reach your street. See you tomorrow!

Your friend,
Groucho

OK kitties, I was here for the loading up and Groucho made sure all was in order (of course). Pawpie sent crabcakes (like we'll need them in the The Big Easy);) - see you in the morning! :D

Let's go!

Lulu here - got room for two more partiers :):) Since Mom1 introduced me to her trumpet playing I'm ready to take on the bagpipes :D:D:D Bibette not much of a music kitty, but she loves a good time. She's bouncing off the furniture right now as Mom1 has been reading these posts to us. We know it's close to departure time - but we're packing up real quickly and we'll be outside next to the HUUUUUUGE snow pile ready to go!!

LAISSEZ LES BONS TEMPS ROULLEZ - MAIS OUI

Post from the Catberry mobile...
"Bienvenue Bibette et Lulu! Nous devrions etre a votre place a 11h. Etre pret!:)

ronrons,
Pinot:D"

When did she become a bilingual kitty?:confused:

Woohoo!!! Don't forget to pick me up hey Groucho?!
My purrents will be on travel that day, so I am free to come :cool:;):):love::love::love::love:

I'm sending extra umbrellas with Angel and Winnie. The weather channel says it will rain. Just in case the kitties need them. :love:

Winnie can't wait to meet new friends and have a long chat with Edwina about how to handle pesky brothers. Angel has been on her phone to all her friends all morning. They are all ready to go and watching for the catmobile.

I had no idea, but Fister had packed his rucksack while I went for a walk. I met him just as he was leaving. He obviously is bored and want to go and have some fun!

The next thing I hear is that a friend in Kastrup airport saw him trying to book a seat on a flight. He can be very persuasive!

She got this picture of him:
http://petoftheday.com/talk/picture....pictureid=3856

He didn’t leave a note or said what his plan is, so I’m a bit worried. I do hope some of the other kitties are there to pick him up and that he’ll contact me to let me know what’s going on! :eek:

A worried mom.

It's awfully quiet here now. The Catmobile kitties left right on schedule this morning after a breakfast of green eggs and ham (in honor of St. Patrick's Day). They were planning a quick stop at Quakerbridge Mall for some extra umbrellas and tartan raincoats for the PT Kitty Bagpipe Quartet and Scottish dancer.

Randi, nothing to worry about. Fister arrived here in Trenton late last night and stayed here until they left.

Lut, Groucho met up with his lovely Inka and she also spent the night with us.

It has been raining here all day and I hope our travellers will soon get into some clear weather. Please let us know when you hear from your kitty?

Just got a text from Ming, "Made it to de Katmobeel. I am hapy we brot our green umbrelas and galoshes. Thx for the watupruf case for mai 'pipes. See yu soon!:D"
