Hey I think it is very obvious in THIS thread that it was all fun- we had had so many threads of travelling kitties before that we were quite experienced in stories like that.
I think Lorraine tried to start another thread like that and simply did not give enough hints (maybe she was worried herself because she didn't find all these letters in Willy's catbed that Annie had been writing and telling him that her Christmas would simply not be the same without him ).
She definitely didn't want to scare us- and we all must promise that whenever we fake a thread we try to be a little bit more obvious- that's all.

I still love all the fake threads the best- like the Olympics and - best of all- the Cruise of the Feline Princess that Jonza, furrever unforgotten, started.
