ReplyDeleteAre there crickets here? I like to eat crickets.
ReplyDeletePumpkin, you NEVER had ham before? That's so sad. Ham is one of the most delicious things in the world.
ReplyDelete*sits on fat erik* hmmmmm I like the furrnature you haffs derby. It's cozy.

ReplyDeletePurr...purr...purr...

ReplyDeleteGrr
''Lil one, we have bartenders, you ask for your drinkie. If you have too much you won't get more. And then mum will also have to contact your beans and make you teleport home. So if you want to stay and party, please don't get carried away.
ReplyDeleteDo we haff ice cream to go wiff the cake? I luv ice cream!
ReplyDeletePumpkin
Yes, there is ice cream and cool claws too. Just ask the caterer for what you would like.

ReplyDeleteHey, efurryone! How you all doin? Do I see ice cream? Nilla ice cream? Mmmmmm!

ReplyDeleteHello, Derby an efurryone. Wow, what a spread! You reely went all out.
ReplyDeleteVictor, buddy, glad you are here. Before you dive into the food, let me get your badge as an October honoree.
ReplyDeleteoh, look! there's Victor - I'm gonna pounce him
ReplyDeleteCocoa

ReplyDeleteDerby, please excuse my brother. You have such a nice classy party here. I sure hope Cocoa doesn't knock anything over.
Midnight
Hi Bonnie! I've got a bowl of cream - my favorite!
ReplyDeleteGrr
Hey, Cocoa, we should moof ofur there, where there's more room. {scrambles around room to open area} Can't catch me!
ReplyDeleteMidnight, not a problem. There is enough room to have a quiet spot for those who prefer quiet and also room for those to run and pounce. I just hope that with eating and then all of the running, the eats don't make a second appearance. If you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteMmmm cream is good. Haf you tried dippin shrimp in it? Makes a good combination.
ReplyDelete*bouncing after Victor*
ReplyDeleteoh yes i can catch you...here i come!
Cocoa
O fat erik? Where are yous hidin?

ReplyDeleteCocoa
{Rolls Lil' One gently toward Cocoa} This fierce little tiger attacked me! Whatefur will we do?
ReplyDeleteHi Victor and Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I was just hiding round the corner for a minute to avoid being pounced by Lil'One. No offence, but I'm not used to being pounced when I'm eating! [no crazy kittens in our house]
Victor, don't break the kitten. Boys! {rolls eyes}
ReplyDeleteHello, Eric. Can I get you sumfing?
ReplyDeleteEric, I told Lil'One you would be good to cuddle with, not get pounced on. I guess she changed her mind about a nap.
ReplyDeleteOOOOO *rabbit kicks viter.....grrrr grr grrr*
ReplyDelete{Bites Lil' One's foot} Hey! Cocoa, a little help here?
ReplyDeleteHi!

ReplyDeleteMore shrimp Bonnie? They're gone now.
ReplyDeleteGrr
Oh, I've whapped Victor, but that requires touching him. Eeewww. He just shrugs! It's like he won't take me seriously!
ReplyDelete{Jumps for washing machine, comes up short and bounces off of it} I meant to do that! {wiggles butt, judging distance, and gracefully leaps to the top} Ha! You can't hide up here!
ReplyDeleteVictor - one of us from each side...ATTACK!
ReplyDeleteCocoa
Sniffs victor, then rolls over and shows belly "I dare ya!"
ReplyDelete{Licks fur back into place} More... shrimp? or salmon... I'll haf sum more salmon, fank you.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that kitten ever wear out?
ReplyDeleteGrr
Sheesh, with this huge tent and the house, you would think that the kitties who wants to play could give those of us who wants to visit enough room.
ReplyDeleteSee that big spot with the climbing tower on the other end? You can play and chase all you want. That is what the area is for.
{Head butts Lil' One's tummy} Time for TABBY TICKLE TORTURE!
ReplyDeletemmmm...yes. salmon would be lovely!
ReplyDeleteGrr

ReplyDeleteI don't run around much because I've been having asthma attacks.
ReplyDeleteGrr

ReplyDeleteI can relate, Scooby. Grr, what's as-ma? Sounds nasty if it attacks you.
ReplyDeleteok alls! *waves paws*
ReplyDelete{pounces Cocoa} More wrestlin! Where's Scout?
ReplyDeleteI'm a loner too. Cocoa and Midnight play together and sleep together. I usually just hang out near the Blonde Girl.
ReplyDeleteGrr
Kitty bags for teleporting home will be available. Shaggy you can sneak home all the treats you want. Wow, there is so much going on. The younger set is playing like crazy and the more mature group is just having fun visiting and enjoying the good food and drink.
ReplyDeletePlease feel free to go back and read the posts from earlier today. We have been partying for hours.
Victor's such a piggie, the woman switched us to lite food, but he nefur efun noticed. I haf managed to loose a few extra ounces myself.
ReplyDeletemmmfff! bye Lil' One! I'd wave, but Victor's on top of me.
ReplyDeleteCocoa
Bye Lil' One.
ReplyDeleteAs-Ma is sumbuddy who steals my breath an makes me wheeze a little. It's not fun, but it never lasts very long.
ReplyDeleteGrr
Hey, Cocoa, is that Angelica ofur there?
ReplyDelete...
{whaps Cocoa}
Made you look!
Cats can get as-ma? I never knew that.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Doesn't sound like fun. I get hairballs almost daily an they make me shake an heave. The worst part is, I get unsteady fur a moment.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Bonnie sumtimes hurls, then falls ofur backwards! One time, she fell down the stairs!
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S NOT FUNNY. Anyway, I hope the as-ma's not too bad to lif wif.
ReplyDeleteBeau Beau and Angie are here somewhere. They mombean was taking off for the weekend. So once she was gone they came over. So they are laying low, so is Mia, Roscoe, Opus, Eric and Flynn. They all teleported in on the sly. Just like I did when mum put me in the spa.
ReplyDeleteOh, I was tryin to tease Cocoa, but I's ready fur a nap now. Maybe I can find Beau Beau, my twin bro. Wake me if you see Emmy... an Meeko an Kiara. {wanders off asplorin}
ReplyDeleteGrr, Midnight, Shaggy, Scooby, I'm ready fur a nap. That kitten episode realy upset me. I'll be back in a bit.
ReplyDeleteHere I is, Victor...Lets Go!!!!! -Scout
ReplyDeleteHere I is, Victor...Lets Go!!!!! -Scout
ReplyDeleteThings seem to be settling down for a few minutes. I see the caterer is refreshing the buffet. Mum is checking out to see that all the kitties who have checked in are doing OK. With this big tent, you could get lost, plus all the hidey spots INSIDE the house.
ReplyDeleteFlynn - is he coming?
ReplyDeleteGrr
ANGIE? WHERE ARE YOU?
ReplyDeleteCocoa
*pops back in*
ReplyDeleteIm pretending to sleep back home so mum doesnt have a clue I'm here.
course, all this pretending to sleep has made me sleepy. I think i'm gonna roll in the nip then find a hiding place. That book shelf looks fine. It will do.
Hello again. Sorry I dropped in and then disappeared-- Mom was tryin' to get me to have new softpaws on my claws and I did not wanna!
ReplyDeleteSome of the kitties are here, but won't be commenting. They don't want their beans to know they are here.
ReplyDeleteMerlin, can't your mum just accept that you have claws? Standard equipment.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's really my Dad that doesn't like the claws. Cause of the furniture and the hardwood floors, blah, blah, blah. My mom does like it though, cause we can play hard and she don't get scratched.
ReplyDeleteI'm the first kitty with claws in the family, so it's a period of adjustment.
Part of the reason mum adopted me was that I had already been declawed. When she wented to visit in Iowa, she had to deal with all the little kittens with claws. She wasn't used to that.
ReplyDeleteI claw up my Lady every night, but really I'm trying to wake her up for petting. I don't mean to injure her.
ReplyDeleteMidnight
My mom wasn't used to it either. But I don't mind the softpaws, usually, and if it makes her wanna play then I like it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I still have my BACK claws, she doesn't cover those. If I really need to scratch somethin'.
ReplyDeleteWe're here! Magoo, Smudge, Bella and Dolce!
ReplyDeleteHappy October Purrthdays to everyone!
Scout! Scout! Where are you?
ReplyDeleteDolce
hi there! good to see you guys (and girls)
ReplyDeleteHiya!

ReplyDeleteSorry everyone, I got away from for a few minutes. Grampie called to wish me happy purrthday.

ReplyDeleteKimo: Wow - that teleporting stuff makes me dizzy!
Sabi: Not me - kinds feels like I been on the nip . . . by the way, any nip here?
Edsel, there is all sorts of seafood on the buffet. Just ask the caterer for whatever you are looking for.

Hi Kimo and Sabi. Welcome. There is a huge buffet of foods, human and cat stuff. Yes, there is some nip here. I forgots who brought it but it is home grown.

ReplyDeleteSabi: Why Thank you Derby - I believe I will start off will a little nip . . . oooh - are those shrimptini's!
ReplyDeleteKimo: Thanks for hosting the party Derby: nice digs! I'll have to check out the dungeon too.

ReplyDeleteSabi: Hey - I don't want to be responsible for poor behavior in front of lil' one - who's watching him?
ReplyDeleteKimo: Mmmmmm - did you taste those crab cakes?!

ReplyDelete*yawns, rolls over, falls off the bookcase*

ReplyDeleteBye Merlin. Come on back later or tomorrow. Party lasts until Sunday morning.

ReplyDelete*licks back paw pretending to ignore everyone*
