Come one, come all for New Year's Eve

[katladyd]

Mac is so there and Ming is packing his bagpipes as we speak! They can't wait to see all their friends again!

[phesina]

Sparkler is so excited to be copilot again! She has her pilot's license and her sunglasses all ready to go.

Sydney and Bob have their bagpipes packed, and Poppy and Elmer are ALL SYSTEMS GO too.

We are all wondering if the 12 kitties from the burned house can have the first-class compartment of the Catmobile, since they are all still getting over the shock. They are all SO looking forward to a delightful time meeting so many wonderful new friends and savoring such yummy-sounding food.

Franklin and Chels are packed and ready!

Hi Miss Phesina,
The Catmobile is all first class and they will be very comfortable, we guarantee it! All of us understand that they have been through a terrible and scary thing. In fact, the softest pillows and warmest blankets have been set aside just for them. Is there a certain food they especially like but don't have very often? Meowmie is going to the grocery store tomorrow and she wants to know so we can be sure to have it for them. There will be a surprise waiting for them from all of us, each of them will be given their own sunglasses so they'll really feel like they belong. Please don't tell them, okay? We Catmobile kitties are so happy they will be coming with us!

Okay fellow kitties, The Catmobile got here late this afternoon and is ready to go. Those of you arriving by Amtrak will be picked up at the Trenton train station and stay at my place until it's time to leave.

It's not too late so check in if you're coming. If you're coming by plane, let us know what airport to meet you at. Newark and Philadelphia are your best destinations.

Your friend,
Groucho

Trader Joe's Tongol Tuna is a BIG hit with all 12 kitties.

None of us will breathe a word to them about the sunglasses surprise. What a FANTASTIC New Year's Eve treat for them to help them recover from their traumatic Christmas! They are going to have such a great time!

[Pinot's Mom]

Shhh-I'm in Mommy's lap right now purring away my nursing duties.

Sparkler, if you need any help, let me know. I'm here to help.

If you all could stop by on your way, I would appreciate it! I miss my friends!

Purrs, Pinot

Mac hates flying and with Ming's bagpipes it's a hassle. BUT, the train takes too long in winter so they will be flying into Phillie. They have always wanted to see the City of Brotherly Love!

[dehlers43]

Franklin and The Princess will be on the same flight as Mac and Ming.....sheesh what a surprise.......
Chelsea wants to know if the other girls will be bringing their tiaras...

Since Sparkler is such a terrific co-pilot, Cassie would like to sit near the Phesina kitties and their guests to make sure everyone is all right during the trip. I've asked her to help the guests get acquainted, make sure they have food and water when they need it and a comfy place to crash. And to keep an eye on them and generally make sure all is well.

She's in a bad mood right now because her shades are nowhere to be found. We're going to try and snag a new pair at an after-Christmas sale before she leaves. We've decided she will fly out of Midway this time and link up with Franklin, Princess Chelsea Pearl, Mac and Ming in Philadelphia. She'd like to see the Liberty Bell and the "Rocky" sculpture.

Hi fellow purrents,
Just about everyone is here and settling down after their flights and train rides. Cassie, Chels, and Sparkler are up at Quakerbridge Mall shopping for sunglasses for their new friends. Chels told me they also plan to get each of them a new toy to be wrapped and put under the tree so they can have a nice Christmas. But with these shoppers, who knows what they'll come back with! They should be back any minute now.

All the bagpipes are safely stored until our private concert later tonight. The 12 new friends are a bit nervous but are looking forward to the lasagna dinner when our shoppers get back. The other kitties are showing them around and assuring them they're safe and not to be scared. Bob just told me they're choosing sides for a kibble soccer game in the kitchen for after dinner.

Cassie, Chels, and Sparkler just came in loaded down with packages. Soncat is helping them hide them in his room so they can be wrapped and tagged. The lasagna is ready for our hungry kitties so I'd better feed them.

All the kitties have been told that the computer is on and Soncat and I will make our cell phones available so they can check in with you

[Pinot's Mom]

I didn't hear anything about the schedule...will you be paying a visit? Just need to prepare my patients....

Hope to see you soon

Purrs, Pinot

I had company for dinner yesterday and today I was so tired I had an afternoon nap. When I woke up and all I found was this note:

Meowmie:
Please don't worry about me. I just have to attend the new Year's bash and be with my Sparkler when the clock strikes midnight. I miss her so much and have texted her that I'm coming. I'll let you know when I get there.
Merlin

So, I hope to hear something in the next 24 hours. Have any of you seen him?

[katladyd]

Just got this text from the boys: The flight was great! Philidelphia is cool! We saw the real Liberty Bell! Will call soon!

Here's the text I got from The Princess:
