Rizzo wants to come! He thinks I'm sheltering him too much, and he demands to be allowed to socialize in the outside world like all the rest of the kids.

He has two questions: 1) Is there a dress code? He wants to know if he should get his stripes in order and comb his ruff.

2) He wants to know if his stuffed seal friend, Sauxus, can come too. He doesn't want to go anywhere without his "brother."

He's a little nervous about flying, since he hates car rides so much. But I'm sure that if he's sufficiently spoiled by the staff, he'll be fine!

He wasn't excited about the food options at first, since he's never had sushi before and he's a VERY picky eater. But I explained that, in some cases, it's just another way to eat tuna, and now he's packing a knife and fork!

I think he's excited about meeting a lot of eligible lady cats...he keeps asking me to pick up some catnip cologne.
