Calling all Catmobile Passengers to Chicago - Nov. 21

[momcat]

Hi fellow kitties!

Sorry for the delay getting back to all of you. I've been trying to finish up a few things at Cat Court and I'm helping Meowmie with a complicated case she has at work.

The Catmobile will be here late tomorrow afternoon. Soncat will help me pack it up. I'm thinking of maybe leaving Thursday morning so we can have a nice, relaxing trip to Chicago. What do you think? Pinot, does that work for you?

Aroara, you can bring whatever you would like to share with everyone. When it comes to snacks, we're not a picky bunch. I'm so happy that you'll be joining us again.

For anyone who wants to come but hasn't checked in yet, there's still time. Just call or e-mail Pinot or me. Anyone coming by plane, the charter flight can still pick you up but we need to know by tomorrow.

Cassie, what should we bring to wear? Is it cold in Chicago? Do we need jackets or raingear?

See all of you soon!

Your friend,
Groucho

The weekend forecast is partly cloudy with highs in the upper 40s. A jacket with a hood would probably not be a bad idea.

Be safe and warm and I will be waiting for you all to arrive!

Purrs,
Cassie

[Pinot's Mom]

Thursday would be fine, Groucho, we could take some time and check in at Cassie's for that night (I assume that's OK with Cassie's Mom??) before the festivities begin. Has JJJ heard from Lady Edwina? I hope her Mom is letting her go (and Eddie, too); she can't miss the shopping on Sunday!! Sparkler, are you all set to buddy up with Aroara?

Come on kitties! I need to hear from you ASAP (me or Groucho) to put you on the route!!

Purrs,
Pinot

[phesina]

Sparkler, I'm so glad you're coming! I thought you could have the special task of taking care of Aroara - do you mind?

Purrs, Pinot

Of COURSE I will, I will be delighted to take care of Aroara! She will be in good paws. You don't need to worry about a thing, she won't do anything I wouldn't do!

Oh, definitely! I will have meowmom lay in a supply of kitty essentials such as chicken, tuna and catnip.

[Moesha]

The kitties must have stopped by the Oprah show and gotten the scoop early!

I got a cryptic e-mail from Aroara saying that had talked to the queen of talk shows and knew a secret.

Silly kitties. It sounds like they are having a great time. Aroara appreciates Sparkler keeping an eye out for her.

[Pinot's Mom]

Yes, as usual Cassie's Mom took good care of us! We were all warm and well fed last night and gossiping away! JJJ is hoping his Lady Edwina will join us for the dinner at Morton's tonight; he misses her. We all miss Eddie's jokes, too - maybe they'll both surprise us there!

We did stop by and get a scoop from the queen of talk shows, but we're sworn to secrecy. Some of the details have gotten out, but it wasn't from us!! Her pups might be making a special visit to the Catmobile this evening after dinner. They're aware of where the Catmobile will be, and they'll have the mounted police escort.

Don't worry, we're all fine and well fed. We'll keep in touch!

Purrs,
Pinot

[Edwina's Secretary]

I snuck out. Meowmie did not want me to come to Chicago...she says it is because..well....I'm sure she didn't mean any of you! well never mind...I think she is jealous because she loves Chicago so much...I had to leave Eddie behind...he is so clumsy and makes too much noise.

Then I stopped by to see my dog cousin and borrow something warm to wear!


Chilly here, but oh so good to be home!


There! That's better....so let's go!

[Pinot's Mom]

OH! Edwina, I'm so glad you could make it!! I'll let Pinot know you're on the way - she'll keep it a secret from JJJ until Morton's where you can make your grand entrance!!

[Pinot's Mom]

Pinot checking in here...did Lady Edwina make an entrance at Morton's OR WHAT?? You could have picked JJJ's tongue up off the floor when his sweetheart swept into that restaurant swishing that tail! I was so glad I kept that secret; it was priceless!! Dinner was great - then we all settled into the Catmobile in our new parking spot (with our horsie escorts, of course) and Oprah's pups stopped by for some apres dinner fun!

Then this morning! Breakfast with the one and only Mickey Mouse!! He gave us a scoop on the parade...can't tell that, either! Ah well - time to get set for the parade - we're all fine and having a great time! Thanks for letting us come to Chicago!!

[cassiesmom]

The kitty kids stopped in on their way to the parade. It's been a lovely day for November in Chicago, sunny and 57F, but I think Edwina's coat will come in handy after the sun sets. The Catmobile didn't need anything, so I just collected their trash and gave their litter pans a quick scoop, and the kitty kids headed out again.

[Pinot's Mom]

Well, Pinot is home after her big adventure in Chi-town! She's busy napping - such a trip!! She saw her sweetheart Roco, Edwina made a surprise entrance , there was lots of good food (as usual), Sparkler and Aroara seem to have made a lifetime friendship, Mickey Mouse was a great host for breakfast, the parade was fantastic... I'd like to personally thank Cassie and her Mom for providing for the kitties. Lady Edwina gave lots of advice shopping this morning. Sounds like a great trip - Pinot says "see you on the next one kitties - goodnight!"...

[momcat]

Shortly after Groucho arrived home he got a phone call and had to rush over to Cat Court. It must have been a late night because he was sound asleep this morning and didn't even open his eyes when his dish was filled.

He did say that everyone had a dynamite time in Chicago; Mickey Mouse, Oprah, great food, and wonderful hospitality with Cassiesmom. The puppy dogs loved the Catmobile with all the comforts. I hear there's a rumor going that Oprah's puppy dogs might join in on a Catmobile trip. Hmm.....

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh my girls are so mad! They completely missed the notices for this trip and they would have loved to be back in Chicago. It seems Cassie sent them one of her famous text messages along with lots of pictures and now they are just FURIOUS that I did not see the notice of this trip in time.

I am in the doghouse.

Perhaps you can make it up to them by sending them here! Dana Point

You can tell them all about it!
