Dear Catmobile Kitties ----

[moosmom]

Hey Furkids,

AustinB here. I haven't been around for a while. Meowmie is having a difficult time right now since my hooman Sis is getting married in less than 3 weeks. I don't know what the big deal is all about. Meowmie has US!! But I sit by her side with a box of Kleenex and lick her tears away. I tried to tell her it will get better. I even bought her three bags of Hershey Chocolate Drops for comfort food, but nothing seems to be working. I wish my sis would go to Vegas and get married. Then maybe Meowmie would smile again.

Austin B, I'm sorry your Mom is going through such a time, but you did the right thing in staying there with her in her sadness. Take good care of her.

Well, purrents, crisis averted; Chelsea's BFFF Sophie is here. She missed the luncheon, but the kitties are settled in downstairs, they've been watching the Black Eyed Susan Day races on the special closed circuit big TV down there. There is all kinds of chatter; I have been banned for the time being. They need their "privacy". It seems the general concensus is that tomorrow's Preakness winner will be Animal Kingdom, of course, but they also seem to like Flashpoint. I think Samantha and Pinot had something to do with that one; Flashpoint is a grey horse. Not a very common color in this field.

In short; all is well. Dinner has been served and I'll report as things progress.

Angel and Winnie are sad to have missed this trip (and a lot cheesed off at me) but we have been having such storms I wanted to keep them close. They look forward to hearing all the news from all their friends and want everyone to have a grand time.

I'm so pleased to know that my Samantha is having a lovely time. She was just so touched that the catmobile came for her first. She needs a bit of TLC just at the moment.

She can't wait to hear the pipers, meet her horsey friends, hear Eddie's jokes and enjoy wonderful meals with all her catmobiles chums again. There is a rumour that Eddie might even accompany her home at the end of the trip. This is all just what she needs.

Got a call from Franklin....wants to know if we can get our own horsie....

[moosmom]

dehlers43,

Tell Franklin ONLY if he mucks the stalls twice a day.

[dehlers43]

Hahahahahaha......like that's going to happen.....if I can't get them to clean their own catbox, there's no way they would muck stalls.......
Besides, we're not zoned for horsies

Dear Samantha, what did you think of us pipers and Scottish dancer? Since you are the only true Scots-kitty here, you have the most expert eye.. AND ear.. to check for true authenticity of our performance.

Thank you for your knowledgeable opinions and suggestions!

Your friends,
Sydney and Bob and Franklin and Ming (pipers) and Sparkler (dancer)

Well, I had a call from Samantha tonight. It wasn't a good line, a bit crackly - I heard some mention of the racing, but she was raving, RAVING, about the quality of the pipers and the dancing. It's hard to tell over the phone, but I would swear there were tears in her eyes. She has never seen a highland fling such as Sparkler's. I think she got some photos, which I can't wait to see.

Apparently they are going to a ceilidh tonight where the boys will be performing, and Sammy is going to be instructing the assembled company in the fine art of the Strip the Willow. I hope there is no carnage. The cats will be fine, but I just can't imagine the horses doing Scottish country dancing!!

I'm sorry I didn't check in earlier, but there was a wonderful surprise at church this morning. We are Presbyterian and our pastor was educated in Scotland, so there are strong Scottish roots with our faith and this congregation. We had a presentation after service for a special campaign and there was a great performance - BAGPIPES!! Oh, the kitties were WONDERFUL!!
