Are you ready for the Preakness?

Their new horse pals gave the kitty contingent a wonderful welcome then gave them a tour of the stables followed by a blow-out party. There were even places fixed up inside the stables for any kitties in need of a nap.

He also said our Lady Edwina got into quite a discussion with the jockeys about wearing more fashionable silks. It seems the girl horses are very impressed with our fashionista and can't wait to talk to her about how to make themselves more fashionable by obtaining the right accessories for their bridles, saddle pads, and blankets. Those fillys couldn't seek better advice!

Has anyone else heard from their fuzzbutt?

Eddie warns the kitties about those sleeping places in the horse barn. He, Fister, and Daisy stopped by to visit his cousins outside of DC...and there are kitties sleeping in the horse barn certainly...but those kitties are expected to....oh he shivers to use the word.....WORK!!!!

Yup...some of his kitty cousins have nice warm beds in the house but there are others...who live in the barn!!!!

Edwina is working up a portfolio of ideas for the horses. I hope nothing she designs interfers with them running!

Well, the kitties have had a day! The Black Eyed Susan race (for those uninformed, the Black Eyed Susan is the Maryland Flower), which is just the lady horses, was won by Payton d’Oro - a lovely girl! Now, I don't know how many are aware, but the kitties have a scoop (again!) that, for the first time in who knows how long, there's a filly favored!! No filly has won The Preakness since 1924! Rachel Alexandra has had a chat with the kitties and she's very confident! Although many of the kitties are still backing their original favorite Mine That Bird, Lady Edwina is backing the fashionable gal Rachel Alexandra. Lady Edwina is not to be reckoned with!

The Catmobile was a hit in the parade this evening. Edwina's designs are the hit of Pimlico! Eddie, as far as those "working" kitties in those barns; don't worry-those kitties are in the lap of luxury!

I haven't been able to tune in on the gossip, but if I hear anything I'll let the Meowmies know. You know they can be a BIT secretive!! I'll post any news, but the kitties are fine and resting up for the big event. Talk to all soon!

The kitties pick a winner again! Rachel Alexandra is the first filly to win the Preakness since 1924, and only the fifth filly in history!

The race was about an hour ago, it should take the kitties some time to report back, but from what I understand, the Fister-mobile and the Catmobile are on to Victoria Day with the Catada crew! They're leaving in the morning and should see their Meowmies on Tuesday. I'll update further when Pinot and the crew return to the house this evening, but I think they'll be at the stables late tonight. Lady Edwina and Rachel Alexandra have some dishing to do!!

Cassie said she is having a wonderful time in Maryland, looking forward to Catada, the Catmobile has everything she could possibly need, and home soon.

[Pinot's Mom]

The kitties are off to Catada- they had a time at the Preakness!! Roco and Pinot danced the night away at the barns, Edwina was a fashion advice counselor to all the fillies especially, Fister had everyone in stitches and gave rides in his sports car, Groucho passed out the usual legal advice, and it seems Daisy was a winner!!

I'll wait to hear from all at Victoria Day - have a good trip everyone!!

[lvpets2002]

Oh Yes Roco is still talking about his Dancing the night away with his Darling SweetHeart Pinot.. Oh wow we all had a Blast.. To think the little Fily won.. Alexandrea set a Record for sure.. You go go girl.. All of us babies are sleeping & getting rested up now..

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh that Daisy! I think she should be signing up with Gamblers Anonymous and not jetting off to Canda!
My girls had a wonder time in Maryland. Fabulous hosts, they said. A million thank yous to Pinot's family.
