Dear Catmobile Kitties ----

[Killearn Kitties]

Hi everybody!!

I have been lying low for a while. I haven't felt myself since my furmummy passed away in March. I have never been without cat company before, and I had some health issues of my own, but I am starting to bounce back, and I want to see my all my friends again!!

I am so upset that I missed the pipers at the Royal Wedding, but I am sure I will hear them perform again.

All that food sounds wonderful. Count me in Groucho!

Lots of love,
Samantha xxx

Ohh, Samantha, it's so good to hear from you again!! We were all worried about you! We'll make sure you're never without company. The Catmobile will be making a special early trip to Killearn to make sure you're here and settled in. I made all the arrangements with the driver; he knows what to do. You'll be here for all the events.

Kitties-those who can be ready early tomorrow morning will be whisked in to Elllicott City so we can get to Pimlico for an early autograph session. The Jockeys and horsies have made themselves available for us at 11am for this, and the horsies are having a lunch for us in the barn. This is a very special deal, as Friday is a big day for them, and they are very generous to do this. It's also "Black Eyed Susan Day", so there are races for horsies not involved in the Preakness all afternoon. We'll leave the barn after the lunch and watch those from the basement TV. We need to give the horsies space, let them prepare for the big day, and we need to do some serious primping ourselves. Get your hats ready, ladies, the Preakness is a great time to show them off!! See you soon!

Purrs, Pinot

Hi Pinot!
Soncat got home from work early today and the Catmobile is here and ready to go. Anyone in need of a ride to Pinot's place let me know right away. Is anyone going to Ellicot City on the Amtrak? If you are would you let me know? I'd love to join all of you for the train ride. Can't wait to see all of you again!

Your friend,
Groucho

The boys are on their way as I type. They can't wait to see everybody! Ming is bringing his bagpipes, so be forewarned.

Dear Darling Catmobile Kitties,

I hope you all won't mind but I am sending that creature - Eddie. I am getting tired of disciplining him but he just does not seem to understand that meowmie is mine....all mine!

So here he is...do with him as you like. No hurry getting him back home either! Perhaps he can stop off in Germantown and visit family...or head over to Munich to congratulate Orion in person! Ride back home with Samantha and keep her company....



Blissfully,

Edwina/es

Pinot reporting in:

Catmobile making great progress; Samantha safely picked up early as scheduled, Mac/Ming/Kimba keeping her entertained, Groucho & Cassie seem to be conspiring about something on the back corner cushions, Phesina's gang chatting with Chelsea and Franklin while Sydney & Bob shine up their pipes, HRH Chels is wondering about her BFFF Sophie, who hasn't checked in, so there's an urgent call going out now, we should be picking up Eddie any minute (can't wait for his jokes!!), I think that's all the pick ups for the Preakness. We will make it for the special event today at the Pimlico. Catmobile is all stocked - anyone not checked in, please call immediately!!

Mom, I know that housekeeper woman is due this morning - could you please make sure she doesn't touch my basement? She doesn't have the proper respect for my things. Thanks!

Purrs, Pinot
