I know Gavin was dealing – and in style!

When Samantha called me this morning she mentioned that she saw a lot of the dogs including Sadie hanging out in the Casino last night.
While she and Tubby and most of the other cats were drawn to the Roulette wheel (something about watching that little ball rolling around seemed to get all the cats excited!)
it seemed that Eddie was playing cards with the dogs at Gavin's table.
Eddie really seemed intent on beating the house(Gavin) but it was Cinder and Smoke who kept coming up as winners!
Samantha overheard Cinder saying something like "Everything I know about cards I learned from my dad."

I have heard that they are trying to start some kitty competitions in order to get them away from the gambling and drinking at the catnip bar. I know there is a *high jumping event* scheduled to be held at some point today. Everyone sort of feels that Miley would be a shoo-in if she could be talked into participating. I am wondering if Sallyanne has heard from her lately. Hopefully my two will not enter as I would hate to see them being the first to have to visit the ship's doctor.

Yeah Pam, I am pretty sure Grover will want to get into that too. Just hope somebody gets some pictures of it!

Tigris sent a mail:

" Dear meowmie,
you can't imagine how much fun we have. I am practising all kinds of games: sailing, shuffleboarding (although the black ones won) and roulette (I like that one a lot).

Filou is running around and flirting with Juni. I think singles have more fun. I always thought dancing was for sissies but now I met some people who have a fantastic dance style. They're called DAWGS!!!! There is one called Sadie. She dances really cool and I am one of her friends. She'll gimme five when we meet

I can't believe the barkers from downstairs at home can dance like that.

Gavin, the croupier and Sadie want to teach me another game. It's called poker. We'll do that tonight.

Headbumpies from your Tigris"

Thought I'd better post a list of who is still on board. There seem to be about 40 females and 50 males. Some, we haven't heard from at all. Wonder what they're doing! Practising their jumping skills for the competition, perhaps. I'll put my bets on Miley and Filou, but who knows, the aussies will most likely be fierce competition!

I was wondering, I first thought Cataholic's herd wanted to come too. I hope Tigris who bought a tixedo in Miami won't be overdressed.

I received a call from the ship this morning. It seems that Miley has entered the jumping contest. She said she feels confident that she will win. Tigris may just give her some much needed attitude adjustment when the jumping contest begins.

I hope she sends photos.

The rumors have it that JuniRose has been a bit under the weather. I suppose she has had evening after evening of over eating, over drinking and way, way too much playing.

Winter came home early - UPS (United Pet Service) and is sleeping off her excitement overload. She said she had a great time but was not thrilled with all of the loud noises, especially the music at night. She said that Ms. Hoppy had to leave early and thought it would make a good time for her to exit stage left, as well.

So, hopefully, tomorrow Miley will send a photo of the winner of the jumping contest.

I have loved looking at all the photos of the pets ... what a riot!

Pouncer actually called me this afternoon. It seems there is a big buzz throughout the ship about this jumping competition! He is sure that he has this competition won - after all, he's lost at everything else: Bingo, the casino, Rummy with Lily, the Faux Paws tournament & the scavenger hunt! Those were just "activities" this is his thing!

So he's prancing around ship telling everybody that they didn't name him Pouncer for nothin'! My Mr. Joe Cool

[AmberLee]

Hmmm, Pouncer and Miley are both excellent candidates for the leaping contest, but my Cassy and Livvy are High Flyers and she is my fuzzy Leapstress. Who knows how this will turn out?

[Freckles]

I was shocked when I saw this picture!! Never expected Freckles would dive headfirst down the water slide!

She never has given me any indication she would attempt anything so foolhardy. Must be some dare/doubledare games going on.

Please, Freckles come home in one piece!
Joan

PS: I do appreciate having this picture as evidence.

I think you forgot Kylie - she's female.


I got a short call from Kylie again today. She is having a ball with all the other kitties!!! She said she is getting tired so she might try that UPS thing that Winter did to get home. Will have to see. I told her to let me know in case I have to wire her some money.

[Kirsten]

Lily is also missing on that list! I hope she's still on board!?

Kirsten

[Randi]

Sorry about that, but Kylie and Lily were hiding somewhere - now they have come forward. Winter could not turn down the offer from UPS, she left in a hurry yesterday. Glad to hear she's safely home!

Yesterday, two of the girls - I wonder who, dragged Fister along to have a manicure, he says it was great fun to begin with, as they were offered treats and catnip tea, but after three nails were done, he left!! I suppose I'll have to do the rest when he gets back.

I'm so exited to hear how the jumping competion goes! Who will join? Will they do it on that island? What will they be jumping over? Will any of them send pics? Uhh, I can hardly wait.

Does anyone have appropiate pics for this occasion?

[delidog]

Did Someone say Jumping Competition?????

High Jump or Course????

Speed or Faults????

Can't Wait!!!!!

This came today

Dear Meowmie & dadcat

I have had such a wondurrrful time on The GSFP, and Mr Pjevs is such a gentletom, although other ladies might not go for an older tux, I find him ever so wonderful, but alas I could not convince him to come live with us---he is a street cat at heart and I am just too fond of my heat registers, big screen patio window, rationed puss chow and clean water, not to mention the frequently cleaned litter pans. I just don't think my true love for PJ can overcome my distaste of the public "street squat"......alas, we shall always have the ocean!

I do miss my home, as it is where I get undivided attention - there are so many other cats here, meowmie, and I've tried hard to "work the room" to get my twice-daily required tummy rubs, but the ship folk are just so busy attending to the other cats...what's a prima-donna puss to do? There is a leaping contest, but you know me....I only play with things that are brought within my line of swat.....like the Panic Mouse you bought me (and I wish I had brought that with me on the trip)...you know, I love a toy that allows me to lay on my side and just liesurely swat as it flings by...

I am going out for one last fling with my beloved Mr PJ, before he hops aboard a passing fish freighter (seems he is the adventurous type, and this was how he earned his fare aboard the GSFP, and he is now working his way back home). Ahh, sweet Mr PJevs, if only Meowmie would lift the ban on a second cat....but then again....I WOULD have to share my tummy rub time!!
