    Could the Catmobile visit Chicago for Venetian Night on 7/25/09, please?

    Dear Pet Talk Kitties,

    Cassie and I would like to know if everyone would please come to Chicago for Venetian Night on Saturday, July 25. Does the Catmobile travel on water? If it does, we can join the parade on Lake Michigan! If it doesn't, we will park it and be the most fashionable spectators in attendance. My Meowmie will be in charge of food and will ensure that the Catmobile is well-stocked for us. We you all, so please come, from near and from far, please please please!


    , Purrs and head bumpies,
    Cassie

    Oh Cassie, this sounds so romantic and wonderful! Venetian night on Lake Michigan? That will look just like a really, really, really big canal! We are there! Should we go straight from the horsey party or come home for a rest in between? Hmm, decisions, decisions.

    I haven't heard from Groucho to see if we can hold the Catmobile for that long, but I'm sure the dealer won't mind! It doesn't travel on water, though, so we'll have to stow away or watch from the sidelines.

    It sounds like a wonderful idea, Cassie!

    Edwina, I thought you were wearing the new Venezia hat for the horsey festivities? That would make the choice easier.

    I'm a little under the weather today, I had a shot last night and it didn't agree with me, so I'll check in with you all later.

    What a great idea for another Catmobile adventure! We'll be there!

    Hi Cassie, Sorry for not posting sooner. I was at the local Jaguar dealer earlier today. She said there's no problem keeping the Catmobile to extend our trip a few more days. Unfortunately, the Catmobile doesn't go on water but the Jaguar dealer came up with a thought. She's going to contact some folks out your way to see if there's any chance of us getting a real gondola for the event. Nothing definite and no promises, they're not always available. But we'll have a blast regardless.

    Your friend,
    Groucho

    And Chicago has some excellent Deep Dish Pizzas as well as a Few Luxury Malls on the Golden Mile where the Animal Angels and Friends can dine at the Food Courts and them snooze in complete luxury in the bedding stores!!!

    And some Great Polish Restaurants and German Beer Halls too!!!

    No worries. If we can't get a real gondola, we can park the Catmobile and enjoy the boat parade from the lakefront! Either way it will be a wonderful time!

    Dear Samantha, Daisy and Jessica --- If you would like to come directly from the horsey party, we have plenty of good resting places. If not, just let us know what your plans are and we will make it work!

    Hi Cassie!
    This sounds like so much fun and I'm sure our fellow kitties are really looking forward to heading out your way. Right now it looks like we'll be coming straight from the Horsepark but we'll let you know for sure.

    Just one question for you. Would it be okay with you and your Meowmie if our horsie friends want to join in? A few of the horsies heard about it and would like to extend the fun.

    Your friend,
    Groucho

    ....and the plan continues from the Horsey Park thread...

    We'll leave the shore on Wednesday night, after a day in the surf and a nice seafood dinner, for an overnighter to Chicago. There is plenty of room for all the kitties to bed down for a comfortable sleep and they won't even be aware they're on the road (unless they want to peek out the windows!).

    We'll get to Cassie's place on Thursday, the 23rd, where I'm sure her Mom will take good care of restocking the Catmobile and welcoming all the kitties! We'll be there for the Venetian festivities on Saturday, the 25th, where we'll park the Catmobile on the route for a great view! After the party on Saturday, we'll have a big breakfast for the trip, and head back to our Meowmies (and Dads!) on Sunday, the 26th where they'll be waiting to welcome us home!

    See you soon, kitties!


    Pinot

    Well, everything is set. The local Jaguar dealer feels bad because she couldn't arrange for a gondola for us. I thanked her for trying and for being so thoughtful. There's an update on the Horsepark trip thread about our trip and like all of you, I cannot wait!

    Is anyone going to Chicago that can't make it to the Horsepark and the shore? If so, please let Pinot or me know so we can pick you up.

    Miss Cassiesmom, thank you very much for having all of us. That is so nice of you!

    Okay fellow kitties, get ready to partay!!!

    Word from our Horsepark revelers is a good time is being had by all. Groucho and Pinot say everything is on schedule and they're all anxious to reach Chicago.

    Elyse, I hear there's a box of salt water taffy from the New Jersey shore with your name on it. But then, think of the crabcakes from a previous Catmobile trip.
