Calling all Kitties: St. Patrick's Day celebration in Chicago

[momcat]

Hey there fellow kitties!
The Catmobile is here and is being loaded up for our trip as we meow. As always, our friend and capable co-pilot Pinot has our route well planned. Be sure to keep your cell phones on so we can call you when we reach your neighborhood. If there are any kitties who want to go but haven't checked in, call Pinot or myself and we'll pick you up. The corned beef and cabbage is ready and smells great, the Irish Soda bread will be delivered very early in the morning. Okay, let's get some sleep since we have a big weekend coming up!

Chicago.....here we come!!!!!!!!!

Your friend,
Groucho

And a side trip we hope to the 900 Chicago Mall.
Dad looked that up and there are some fantastic places to eat and sleep, our favorite activities!!!

Good Morning, just checking status - anyone heard from the leprechaun kitty magic Catmobile? Did Fister find a green outfit? Is Sparkler behaving? I think Pinot's a little busy - I'm sure she'll check in later, but I was just seeing if any other meowmies knew the scoop!

[Killearn Kitties]

I am completely in the dark here! My girls are missing, and I guess this thread tells me why, but where are they? Are they waiting for the catmobile at O'Hare, or what? I hope the little devils have let Cassie or Groucho, or somebody know what is going on!

[momcat]

Good morning fellow Meowmies!

Groucho checked in rather late last night and all is well. He said Lady Edwina and several of the kitty girls are discussing what's "in" this spring. Rumor has it that they might even start their own fashion line. They've been listening to music by the Irish Rovers and the Clancy Brothers while practicing Irish folk dancing. Everyone is feasting on the corned beef & cabbage. As for the Sparkler mystery, Groucho said the group has agreed to "don't ask, don't tell." No word on when they expect to reach Chicago. I could hear Eddie in the background singing "The Unicorn" song by the Irish Rovers and he sounds quite talented.

[Edwina's Secretary]

That boy can sing! I am here in Chicago helping to get things ready. Edwina and Eddie will be on the catmobile. They said they would rather ride in that than come with me on the airplane...more fun they say!

Should I worry???

[momcat]

on the Sparkler story from Mardi Gras - what happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans

Hmm.....I hope they don't ever decide to go to Las Vegas!

Killearn Kitties, There's nothing to worry about. According to Groucho your kitty crew is safely aboard the Catmobile, they ate some corned beef & cabbage, joined in the dancing and are planning their strategy to find the elusive pot 'o gold believed to be hidden somewhere at the site of all the festivities.

Cassie is already watching out the window for the Catmobile. We have extra Irish soda bread, corned beef and rye bread (no cabbage- got to keep the Catmobile smelling fresh) on hand for when everyone arrives!

[lvpets2002]

Ok we are all ready & packed here in Texas.. All of my Sweeties are ready to meet up with all you Sweeties.. Watchen for the CatMobile..

[Randi]

Fister didn't manage to find a green outfit that he would be seen in, so he asked me to help decorate him a bit for the occasion - and he packed his rucksack filled with goodies.

Malcolms mom are coming back from Boston today, so she'll meet Fister in airport and make sure he get's on the right plane. He will meet you all in Chicago in a few hours - ready to party.

This is what he looked like when left.

[Pinot's Mom]

Short check in from Pinot...they should be touching down at Cassie's place anytime - they've picked up from Killearn to Canada to Texas - that leprechaun magic Catmobile is something!

Fister and the green whiskers and toes are a hit! The fashionista ladies are all a-twitter about that! Pinot brought along some Chieftans CD's for the Catmobile to go along with everyone else's music-there seemed to be quite a party from what I could hear! Have a great time kitties!

[cassiesmom]

They were here and I sent them downtown to see the river being dyed green and to watch the parade. Restocked the Catmobile with fresh water and food. Everyone is fine!

Thanks so much for tending to their supplies, Cassiesmom! We all know that these kitties really know how to party big time!

Groucho briefly checked in. He and Inka along with all of the others are having a blast! The entire crew was quite taken with the river turning green, they never saw anything like it. Everyone loved the parade and they were even invited to join in for a few blocks. When the judges first saw Fister's green whiskers and toes, they thought the group were Mummers. From what I hear, our kitty crew was a big hit when they did Irish folk dances while Eddie sang a few traditional Irish folk songs in front of the reviewing stand.

Inka, Lady Edwina and Pinot assured me that not one of the crew has consumed any ale or spirits of any kind. These lovely ladies asked if I'd let all Meowmies know.

And the party continues.....

[cassiesmom]

They got a gorgeous day today for the South Side Irish Parade. Sunny and 50 degrees. I haven't heard much from them all day!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Edwina tells me the girl kitties are MAD for Fister....the ultimate metro cat in the ultimate Metro!!!!!

He will have trouble getting back out of town with the parade of girls following him!
