Catmobile Kitties "Krewe" at Mardi Gras

**Pinot's Mom** · 02-13-2009, 09:47 AM

Groucho will have to chime in on this one, but my last understanding of the route was that all points North and West of NJ/Philly were to fly in to Philly or BWI (Maryland) by the 21st and the Catmobile would make it's way to the Southeastern US points on it's way to the Big Easy Mardi Gras Party! I have some of these points prepared for my copilot post, but some kitties haven't checked in with their travel plans.

For instance, Baboo & Princess Norah (so many Princesses

), where will you be meeting the Catmobile?

of course the Catmobile is coming for you, Eddie and Edwina! It wouldn't be a party without you two! Edwina IS the fashionista of the Catmobile!

Okay, very good. We just booked our flights to BWI!

**Pinot's Mom** · 02-13-2009, 09:25 PM

OK, kitties, I think we're rolling!

I've gone over those that have checked in with the driver, and here's what we've come up with (so far):

The Catmobile will leave Trenton, NJ/Philly Airport area on 2/21 with Groucho & Inka's clan meeting up with Snowbelle & Honeybun. We are assuming, although this is not confirmed, that the Vermont kitties (sasvermont & vermontcats) and Eve (Bengalz) will be joining the PA/NJ meeting point. The BWI group so far is Cassie, the Phesina gang (Elmer, Bob, Poppy, Sydney, Peony & Sparkler), and, of course myself (Pinot).

Those we need to know about: my sweetheart Roco and the lvpets2002 group - I would imagine we're picking you up at the New Orleans airport - please confirm! Eddie & Edwina - I would think you're flying in to BWI with Cassie, please confirm! The Killearn Kitties - which airport are you coming in to - we NEED to know! Princess Lily - BWI or other? The Found Cats Hotel (catmandu) - where are we meeting you?

If there's anyone else I'm missing, please check in. We've got to let Laura and her krewe (Boo, Amy, Giz & Samantha) know who will be joining them for the festivities! We have plenty of time to stop in points southeast, so don't be shy!

We've got plenty of food and fun for all!

Your friend - Pinot

Lily wants to know whether the Catmobile can meet her in St. Louis. If that's not convenient, then she'll catch a flight from St. Louis to New Orleans and join the Kitty Krewe there. She may get a little bit distracted by the St. Louis Mardi Gras festivities, but I'll make sure she gets wherever she needs to be.

Don't worry about a thing, Miss PraireePurrs, we'll keep a close eye on Lily.

Pinot, concatulations on an extraordinary job of mapping things out with our very careful Catmobile driver! You really have this under control. With you, who needs one of those GPS thingies!!! By the way, have you heard if Phinehas and Malachi will be feeling well enough to join us?

I have an idea, if it's okay with Mr. Catmandu of course. Could our friends from the Catada area all meet at the Found Cats Hotel and the Catmobile could meet them all there?

It looks as if the Catmobile will be ready for us Wednesday or Thursday. That way we can get an earlier start and possibly pick up our "out of the way" fellow kitties that can't get a flight to Philly or Baltimore. For the kitties who prefer not to fly, you can get the Amtrack train right into Trenton!

I have to go now, Meowmie says the local Jaguar dealer is on the phone.....

Your friend,
Groucho

Well, just as well you asked! I assumed that they had booked BWI as it had been mentioned, but apparently they could not get there directly and they didn't want the hassle of changing - interferes with the beauty sleep don't you know. They will be flying direct to Philadelphia, to arrive around the same time as Inka.

**Bengalz** · 02-14-2009, 09:33 AM

Eve has been busy checking flight connections and YES she can get a flight to Philly connecting through Toronto

She will be able to hook up with the Found Cats and travel with company

How sweet is that !! It's going to be a busy week

My girls are getting in the mood now, BIG time! The Baton Rouge parades have already began, they had some last night and they start at 2 pm in Baton Rouge today and my girls are ready to go. They want to invite all the kitties that have already arrived to join them but warn all, they are calling for rain and storms today and tomorrow so be sure to bring rain coats. You will need some sort of bags to put all the throws in that you catch also. They have heard they are throwing treat and toys for all the kitties and there are rumors that there will be some Canadian Catnip being passed around in the crowds

.(so be sure you talk to them about catnip before they leave home! I don't know how that rumor got started or WHO plans to furnish it)

My girls say it is time to Les Bon Ton Roulette!

The Es are thinking they will head for Philly too if that is alright. You know how Edwina cherishes every moment with her JJJ3 and Eddie....well he still has sweet dreams about his dances at the Inaugrual Ball with the Gray Ladies from Killearn (all THREE!!!!)....
