Catmobile to the Derby/Preakness?

**momcat** · 04-28-2009, 11:58 AM

Come on kitties who haven't signed on for our trip to the Kentucky Derby! The Catmobile is due to leave Trenton early tomorrow morning so we have plenty of time to pick everyone up. All the horses competing in the race have a "Welcome PT Kitties" party planned for us that includes the traditional Mint Julep. It's still not too late to come! Contact Pinot or me for your place in the Catmobile ASAP. This is going to be a blast!

To those of you who have signed on, keep your cell phones charged up and be sure they're on tomorrow so we can call when we get to your neighborhood. Time to meet my lovely Inka at the airport. Be sure to call my cell phone if you'll be coming in by plane so we can be sure to find you!

I am just beside myself! Mom's been unable to post today and didn't leave the computer on for me to use the keyboard! The NERVE - on such an important day!! I've been going on and on about this trip and seeing my sweetheart Roco

- she should have had more consideration

Well, kitties, the route is mapped out

- of course, Inka's the first - she has to meet with her sweetie Groucho; she'll be coming in with the rest of her crew to start the festivities. Eddie and Edwina are already in the secret location with the grey ladies of Killearn; they'll be on board as well, but we can't say where they'll be picked up. Then we have Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, Bob, and Sparkler; Laura's babies; the Catmandu posse (all of them

!); the lvpets group (my Roco

); the rg_girlca kitties; I think that's it. Of course, for security reasons with Daisy, I cannot post the exact schedule, but you've all been contacted by cell phone to know when to expect the Catmobile.

The horsies will be hosting a special party in one of the stables and they've got some very special treats and entertainment lined up! We'll be thanking them with a song of our own to commemorate the occasion, so bring your best voice! If you've not checked in, don't worry, we won't leave you behind - call Groucho or me, we'll take care of you!!

Giddyup!

I don't think that's Lady Edwina's Derby hat, though, she wouldn't reveal such a special topper until the occasion! I think she's just warming up for that horsey party!

Hi PT purrents!
Groucho called a short while ago. Everyone is having a blast singing, dancing, and munching out. The on-board vet is very nice and keeping a close eye on everyone. Groucho said she's quite good at the Alley Cat. I for one am happy to know we have a Catmobile vet travelling with them.

There was a bit of a delay when the Catmobile got a flat tire. With the help of several of the guy kitties, the very careful Catmobile driver was able to fix the problem. Eddie handled getting the spare in place like a pro!

They're on their way again looking forward to the party with the horses. Should you hear from your little traveller please let us know?

Of course, Cassie, you're on the route. I think Pinot was so upset about not getting the keyboard she just didn't have her head on straight. I just don't know if she'll ever forgive me!

She didn't understand there was a massive server problem in MD & DC.

Cassie's Mom - when she goes missing, you know the Catmobile has whisked her off to Kentucky!

She may have already gotten aboard; if not, soon!

According to Pinot's report, the kitties should all be in Kentucky by tomorrow afternoon to settle into their special parking spot and be greeted by the horsies. There'll be a reception where they'll all be installed as honorary Kentucky Colonels.

The horses are: Advice, Atomic Rain, Chocolate Candy, Desert Party, Dunkirk, Flying Private, Friesan Fire, General Quarters, Hold Me Back, I Want Revenge, Join in the Dance, Mind That Bird, Mr. Hot Stuff, Musket Man, Nowhere to Hide, Papa Clem, Pioneer of the Nile, Regal Ransom, Summer Bird & West Side Bernie.

Pinot says there seem to be even bets for I Want Revenge & Pioneer of the Nile. Pinot likes (although she's not a betting kitty, she's from a respectable Presbyterian family

), just because of the names, Summer Bird and Join in the Dance. Mind That Bird also sounds - intriguing

to the kitties.

Well, in spite of the flat tire, it sounds like things are moving along well. Daisy is having a good time, as are all those aboard so far, and the weekend should be a real hoot! If they have too good of a time, they could go right on till the Preakness in Baltimore on May 16th!! I don't think that would be allowed by their Meowmies and Dads, though.

In any case, check in if you've heard from your babies.

Hey Cassiesmom, not to worry! Last night Groucho said Cassie, Inka, and Lady Edwina were picking out a CD for their listening pleasure. All is well on the road to Kentucky. Cassie's fellow kitties would never go without her, they love her jokes

**Pinot's Mom** · 05-01-2009, 09:58 PM

Well everyone, the kitties are down for the evening after a reception with the horsies - all have a big day tomorrow! There's a new favorite in the race, so that colt has extra pressure - and it's I Want Revenge. It seems I Want Revenge was having some serious conversations with Cassie and Groucho at the meet and greet, so we'll have to see how that one went! At least that's the latest scuttlebutt...

We're awaiting the reveal of Lady Edwina's Derby Hat! Happy Derby Day, kitties, and don't have too many Juleps! OOOh, I forgot, they're all honorary Kentucky Colonels, now! There's a story there, too!
