The Cat Train - Vermont to Chicago

[Barbara]

Maya and Inka, wouldn't it be better if you catch a flight from Brussels to Chicago? And do you have your passports ready!
This isn't EC anymore?

If you should meet Miley and Graemer. Give them nosekissies from Filou!

I agree to Koxka: Gabe bringing his family -this sounds serious!! (I must admit I wouldn't have expected that. I always thought that a guy as beautiful as him would not be honest with the girls )

Samantha said she was thrilled to look Tubby there with a gift. (she is in the back seat of the train)

Sorry Samantha!
I didn't see you in the back seat. I should see closer
I beg your pardon

LOL!!! I've had the same song running through my mind, too! Who would have thought that the kitties would be such world travelers?

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know I haven't heard a word from the gang since they left earlier today. They must be doing some serious touristing - and maybe they all went out for a nice dinner somewhere. I'll leave the porch light on for them in case they come in late tonight.

Tubby & Peanut's Mom, I did get a call from Samantha around dinner time that they were out at a lovely Seafood Restaurant with a great view of Chicago's city lights! I would expect that Tubby and Samantha and probably Peanut too would be turning in earlier than the others so they should be home pretty soon. Thank you so much for letting Samantha and her friends stay with you.

I am not around PT very much anymore, but when I am and I read posts like this it really motivates me to come around more often. Sara, you crack me up! You all do! LOL, some really great humor and some really creative minds at work here in Cat General

The gang will go out for seafood, then to a private catnip establishment along Lake Shore Drive.

HAVE YOU HEARD...... Maya & Inka got lost on the train to Chigaco!!

Wherever have they ended up!!! Can't wait for an update!

From what I understand, Chicago was too darn cold and my three came home last evening, very late. I heard the door open to the downstairs, last night around 3AM. Then I heard the usually hissing etc. (I don't want to come in quite yet expressions) from Gabe as he came in the door and then the scampering of my two light-footed ones. They are all sleeping right now. I will quiz them this afternoon, as to what happened and why they are home so soon!

They look exhausted!

Yes, I was surprised too! Samantha, Tubby & Peanut showed up around 9:00 pm last night and were pretty tired after their big day of touristing. They went to bed just about as soon as they got home, so I didn't get any details out of them then.

Then this morning when I woke up, this is what I saw


Tubby was so happy to finally be able to snuggle with someone. They got up, had some breakfast, Terry gave them a Cat Sip treat (since Tubby was demanding it) and then they went to the back window. Since it was dark last night when they got home, Tubby couldn't really show Samantha around his "territory," so he had to show it off to her this morning.


After that they took another little nap, then they had to head back downtown to get Samantha and all their luggage on the train back to Vermont. Since Graemer, Miley and Gabe left on the spur of the moment, they didn't come back here to get their luggage.

Tubby hasn't gotten back from dropping Samantha off yet, so I didn't get full details, but they did mention that they had been to the Shedd Aquarium, which made them real hungry after looking at all those fishies, so that's why they went for seafood for dinner.

Samantha was very sweet and thanked me profusely for allowing her to visit Tubby, and for all my hospitality. She also expressed her wishes that he come and visit her sometime and I said that would be entirely possible. Perhaps this spring when Vermont is in full bloom.
