Catmobile to the Derby/Preakness?

[cassiesmom]

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!
Pinot

Me too, me too ...

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]

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!

[lvpets2002]

WoW I think I just saw some of the kitty babies running around with some those Mint Cat Nip Teas.. Also lets me get Roco off of the back of the horse.. He was getting the horse to give his Darling Loving Pinot for a ride..

[Pinot's Mom]

Pinot is getting treated very well by her sweetheart Roco.

Hot Story - I Want Revenge is SCRATCHED from the race! I wonder if that's what the conversation was about with Groucho and Cassie - methinks they have quite the inside scoop!!

[Pinot's Mom]

The kitties pick a winner! Their "intriguing" choice, Mine that Bird, WAS THE WINNER! With nary a chance. Way to go kitties!! Now say goodbye to your horsey friends and come on home. We'll hear lots of stories, I'm sure...and I hope someone has a picture of Edwina's hat!

Hi again fellow purrents! Well, considering this year's win was considered a major upset, the second biggest in Derby history, I've been trying to get the real deal out of Groucho as to what he, Cassie, and I Want Revenge were in such deep discussion about. Groucho always invokes "attorney/client privilege". All he will say is they all had a wonderful time, made new friends with the horses and even swapped cell phone numbers saying those horses sure know how to party. Groucho and Inka also said plans are already in the works to go back next year!

I have noticed a trend here. It seems when they get back from their Catmobile excursions they're very secretive about certain things. Has anyone else noticed that? What should we purrents do about it?

As Sparkler's Meowmie, I certainly have noticed it! This time it's "What happens at the Derby stays at the Derby!"

Will they be going to the Preakness too? Now that they're all such good friends with all these horsies..

[lvpets2002]

For sure = I so agree.. Oh yes now when is the Preakness?? I will have to tell the babies.. Taccoa always enjoys seeing her Elmer..
