The Catmobile has plans this February! Olympic plans ...

**momcat** · 02-08-2010, 08:32 PM

Okay, fellow kitties,
The eco-friendly hybrid Catmobile is loaded up and ready to go. There's another snow storm due to hit sometime tomorrow so we must get an early start. Inka and I will be meeting a few of our travel buddies at the Trenton Train Station then we are on our way.

Get a good night's sleep and be sure your cell phones are on. We'll call you from the Catmobile when we get to your neighborhood so nobody has to wait outside in the cold.

Let the good times roll.........

Your friend,
Groucho

Hi fellow PT Purrents,
Groucho and Inka called earlier. The kitties made it to Vancouver on Thursday morning safe and sound. After breakfast they walked through the Olympic Village to locate the food stands and see the sights. While there, Inka not only saw her favorite skater, VanderPerre gave her a few scritchies. She is on a cloud.

They had great seats for the opening ceremony and the group agrees that it was awesome. Friday morning the group got a tour and met some of the athletes. They even let the kitties try doing some of the sports. Cassie, Sparkler, and Ming tried mogul skiing; Groucho and Bob tried the luge; and Mack will be joining the Catada kitties for some speed skating. We'll see what the other kitties want to try.

All I've gotten so far is a post card! The "Wish You Were Here" type. Cats.....

OH! I've been remiss in my duties, I'm so sorry. Pinot has been in touch and I didn't report!

They breezed through Mt. Rushmore before heading up to Canada; Cassie was absolutely in awe, as were all the kitties. They were a little rushed due to the weather situation, but were able to see everything and then hunker down in the Catmobile for the trip to Vancouver.

At the Olympics, they're having a bit of a snow issue, so they're trucking snow down from higher elevations. Sparkler made friends with one of the drivers and went for quite a ride!!

The kitties were all backstage for the exciting finish of the pairs skating routines last night; they were pleased with the results, and the girls are all excited about the skating (as well as the costumes). A good time is being had by all!! I promise I'll report when Pinot calls again!

I had a text from Cassie this morning. She couldn't get close enough to Alec Bilodeau (gold medal mogul skier) to get his picture for me, but she did catch a glimpse of him. She wants to see the Canadian hockey team play and see our 3 Blackhawks players Keith, Seabrook, and Toews play. She is also going to meow for Crosby and Fleury from the Pittsburgh Penguins for David P.

Have they gotten together with any horsie friends there? Perhaps some with Mounties?

**momcat** · 02-22-2010, 09:00 AM

Hi Purrents,
We have been very busy here in Vancouver seeing the sights, going to the games, and hitting the party circuit. Cassie was beside herself with Team USA winning last night's hockey game. Ming was very excited to meet Bode Miller and get a close look at his medals. In fact, he promised to take her for a ski ride this afternoon. Sparkler and Pinot have been shopping in the Olympic Village and found some great deals on mementos of our trip. We have seen our horsie friends but they're quite busy with crowd control. But there are plans for a party before we head home.
Apolo Ohno stopped by the Catmobile to say hi and make sure we have enough food and snacks. Some of the hockey players heard Cassie cheering them on and had to meet their big fan. Later on we'll be meeting up with them for lunch and our PT hockey champs can't wait to discuss strategy with them.
Well, it was a late night and I'm going to grab a nap before we start our activities for today. Just about all of my fellow kitties are sound asleep right now. Everyone is fine but tired and on their best behavior. We'll check in again soon. We hope you enjoy watching the rest of the games.
We love you

Your friend,
Groucho

**katladyd** · 02-23-2010, 12:07 AM

Got a text from Mac: USA! USA!
I guess he was at the hockey game.

**momcat** · 02-24-2010, 09:11 AM

Groucho called very early this morning. All is well with our kitties. Our PT hockey greats; Elmer, Bob, the Catada Kitties, and Mac have been invited to spend the afternoon at the hockey rink. They'll be practicing with their favorite teams, the Catada Kitties with the Canadians and the others with Team USA. Our girl kitties will be with the Women's hockey Teams from Canada and the US. Sparkler can't wait to show off her new facemask to the team. Ming decided to try ski jumping and Sophie can't wait to learn curling.
Their horsie friends are pretty busy but they are making sure their kitty pals get around with no problems, especially to the best food stands.
I did ask Groucho to bring a Mountie home for me.

**cassiesmom** · 02-24-2010, 09:42 AM

I just got an e-mailfrom Groucho and Inka. The kitty crew had great seats for the USA-Canada hockey game and they enjoyed every exciting moment of play. They got even more excited when Sassy caught a puck! After the game Sparkler went to see her friends from the snow trucks. The crew is going for dinner with their horsie friends after closing ceremonies and from there to several parties they've been invited to.

All of our babies have had a wonderful time in Vancouver but are looking forward to coming home. They plan to start back sometime tomorrow morning. There's talk of another winter storm on the way so hopefully they will all be home before it hits.

**katladyd** · 02-28-2010, 11:42 PM

Well, I hope they bring home souveniers! I can't wait to hear all of their stories.

**Pinot's Mom** · 03-01-2010, 10:35 AM

The Catmobile got started early this morning from Vancouver. They had such a time at the closing ceremonies! They enjoyed seeing all the celebrity guests from Canada, William Shatner was a big hit. He was very funny and paid special attention to the Catada crew. I had thought they'd swing through here at Banff on the way back to the states, but Pinot sent a very cryptic message, "can't stop, no time, 'splain later, purrs, Pinot"

Anyone got any idea about that one??
