First , thank you all for attending. I am pleased that so many of our furiends have come to this get together. Now I will have mum be our mistress of ceremony. Mum would like to say a few words about each of our October honorees.
DM: Thank you Derby. First let us all give a short silent purrayer for our fellow kitties who are ill or need to find homes. And a a brief moment of silence to remember those kitties who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge this year. I won't mention them by name, as I don't want to miss anycat.
Thank you all for attending and now on to our honorees for the weekend.
Boo is a charming tuxie cat living in Florida with her family, Abby, Gracie, Ping and Jinx. This is her second home and she has know a short time out on her own with her brofurs. But has responded well to the love and comfort her beans have given her.
Charlie was found as a stray outside a community theater. Officially Charlene Frances Jeanne she was adopted in October 2004 by a loving family in
Cooper is a fine looking girl ginger who lives with Monkeybunkey in Catifornia. She is just a year old, but turning from a cute kitten to a beautiful cat.
Tilly is one of the Tower Hill Mob. She is a lovely senior catizen and Gorgeous Ginger. She lives with her brofur Toby and beans in Massachusetts.
Bujang lives in Singapurr and celebrated his Gotcha Day on October 6. He is a fine tuxie who lives with his bean and two other kitties. He is a newcomer to blogging and is not in attendance tonight.
Pumpkin was found just a year ago as a very little kittie. He was dirty, hungry and probably just two weeks old. With lots of loving care, he has grown into a fine young cat. He lives in the lovely state of
Tyler and Jagger are from the same litter born just two short years ago. They had the good fortune to be adopted together by their beans early this year when their first owner had to give them up. They are waiting for the arrival of a little sticky one in a few months.
Victor Tabbycat was adopted just a year ago as a six month old kitten. He was brought in as a companion to his older sister Bonnie. But Bonnie was not pleased. Victor isn’t fazed by this at all. He likes bird watching, snuggling and eating!
Kismet was adopted just a year ago by his bean who originally lived in Whiskconsin. He is now four years old, a fine looking tabby who lives in the big city of
Punkin is a handsome ginger kittie who lives in

ReplyDelete(Beau slips in quietly and takes a seat.) Derby, that was a beautiful speech your mom gave. I dropped by earlier and no one seemed to be around so I left. Yummm...bacon....!
ReplyDeleteHey Beau. Yeah, we just had a short break for everyone who was here to get a nap in and clean up for the ceremony.
ReplyDeleteOhh, that was a lovely speech. Efurrycat is looking so handsome, clean and well-groomed ready for the banquet. I am honoured to be an October kitty.
ReplyDeleteThere sure are a lot of nominees this month!!
ReplyDeleteI know. I started with Mia's list on the Purrthday blog. Then found more. I counted 20! And some I just found out about last night, like Tilly, Shaggy and Scooby. So mum had to work to get them added in.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that I share my month with a great bunch of kitties. Plus that mum was so generous to throw us all this party.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely party, Derby.
ReplyDeleteI was worried I wasn't going to get here. First I had to help my mum with her packing. Then I went out in the garden for a sniff of the night air. Then I came back in and mum decided to groom me. But eventually I was left in peace to teleport.
This is the bestest HAM I haf efurr had in my life!!! - Miles
ReplyDeleteo, u alls should try sum of tha turkey...ummmm. so good.
ReplyDeleteMissy still likes tha bakon tha bestest.
WOW!! That's amazing!! You and your mom worked really hard!! Smeagol and Strider are hosting the November one. They are also good friends of mine, and my birthday is in 2 weeks so they wanted to do it in my honor. As far as we know there are only 3. Jinx, Ping and me. If you find anyone else, please let them know. The party is Saturday, Nov. 4. And all this FOOD!! This is truly a feast!! And oh so good!!
ReplyDeleteTurkey? I've never had turkey...
ReplyDeleteMidnight
Are Grr, Midnight and Cocoa still around? Midnight said yesterday he wanted to talk to me about hair-licking techniques.
ReplyDeleteOh, there you are, Midnight. What did you want to know about hair-licking?
ReplyDeleteKC, pass me some turkey please...thank you...YUUUMMMM...this is GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Derby! This was so nice of your mum to throw this party for all the October kitties.
ReplyDelete*headbop*
Whisper, be nice and say thank you!
'k...here u's go, 'n pass somes on to Midnight...
ReplyDeleteHi Eric! I'm in charge of grooming at my house. Besides us kitties, I have to lick the Lady - I've been licking her clothes and her hands, but I've recently discovered an obsession for hair-licking. The Lady seems to try to resist my efforts though. Do your people appreciate it when you groom their hair?
ReplyDeleteMidnight
Beau, have Sanjee put a message out on the weekly news on Cat Blogosphere. Asking for any November days to celebrate. I also see Petey who is Punkin's brofur. Plus Mrs. Sniffles a bun.
ReplyDeletepsst - Eric - my sister Midnight's a little nutty. She's lickin' efurrybuddy ALL THE TIME!
ReplyDeleteCocoa
Thank you for the nice party, Derby.
ReplyDeleteI guess other kitties aren't so bad if there's ham and tuna and turkey and bacon and pate and nip!
~Whisper
This was just fantastic! Thank you so much, Derby's Mom, for all the hard work you put into this. It has been amazing!!! You have a wonderful Momma, Smiley Boy.
ReplyDeletePatches and Mistrie
Here Midnight, have some turkey. Excuse me one moment, I need to go speak to someone. (Gets up and goes to Meezers.) Hey Meezers, I just wanted to come by and say hello! Isn't this grand?! Good seeing you!! (Returns to seat)
ReplyDeleteOkay, Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteCocoa - licking is a good thing! Doesn't everyone want to be well-groomed?
ReplyDeleteMidnight - I think my people are so used to my hair-licking, I'm not sure they appreciate it but they are conditioned to it! I always start the day by getting on dad's pillow and giving his hair a good wash. I lick mum's hair whenever she picks me up. I lick hands too but not clothes - what do clothes taste like?
Mum is sitting quiety having a glass of wine. She is smiling looking at all of us having a good time. I know she put a lot of work into this. I must have been nappin' 'cuz I don't remember her doing all of this stuff. But this past week the tent showed up, and the trucks with the stuff, the caterer and all of his stuff. Sheesh. Maybe mum should be a party planner.
ReplyDeletePatches and Mistrie, I am glad you made it back. I was happy that Mittens could at least visit for a short while as well. We are all hoping that she will be well soon.
Mmmm! Clothes taste great! I like to sit on the Lady's lap and I get my purr and my paws going and I lick her shirt all over - yum!
ReplyDeleteMidnight
I am deeply honored to be included in this entire event. Derby, your mum is really something else! -- Charlie
ReplyDeletePssst: our Alberta's gotcha day is in November. It would have been the first Sunday after Halloween in 1988 and our Human was going to try to figure out the exact date and quietly recognize her.
I lick skin, mostly mum's hands after she has had food for me. I have licked blankie when treat crumbs are on it. It really has no taste.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to lick the Lady's hair while she sleeps, but she keeps pulling it away. I need to be able to get at that hair!
ReplyDeleteMidnight
Beau, we found another kittie for November. Charlies's sisfur Alberta.
ReplyDeleteSometimes dad puts a pillow over his head so I can't get at his hair, but I am furry persistent. I wiggle under the edge of the pillow and continue licking!
ReplyDelete[Missy] Derby, ur mum must haf worked so hard to put a party this BIG together...
ReplyDelete[KC]...yes, it is huge. 'n lookit all tha foods...
[Missy] ...we should all toast Derby's wonderful Mum...
Charlie (of F.O.), please contact Smeagol & Strider and let them know about Alberta. Oh, and also send them a pciture of her as well. I like to lick mom's hair, well actually chew and rub myself all over it, and I'm a big hand and arm licker as well. Does this make me weird??? (heeheehee)
ReplyDeleteHere here!! (Clears voice and clinks glass) May I have everyone's attention please. I would like to propose a toast to the hostess of the weekend, Derby's mom, who has provided us with so much food and fun this weekend. She evidently worked tirelessly and put a lot into this. (Turns to DM). Here's to you with a heartfelt thank you!
ReplyDeleteOk. She'll be so surprised (she had teleport back home to take a nap right after the banquet. Today wore her out. It might be the most she's ever hung around other kitties (including us)) -- Charlie
ReplyDeleteHi guys! And Pretty Lady Cats, mind if I sit with you?
ReplyDeleteI like to lick my OTW's face, but her hair's too long and it gets stuck on my tongue and I can't get it off, so I just chew on the elastic thingie on the ends.
CHEERS TO DERBY'S MUM!
ReplyDeleteTo Derby's Mum!
ReplyDeletei gotta lay on the Lady's arm an trap her hand between my paws an hold it down fur a good licking, but i only lick hands.
ReplyDeleteCocoa
[Missy] Here's to you, Derby's Mom...
ReplyDelete[KC] ...here's to you...

ReplyDeleteCocoa

ReplyDeleteMidnight
Derby's Mum: Thank you all for the toast. It has been my pleasure to put this party together for Derby and all of his furiends. Have a great evening. I am going to let all of you party without me. Bye.

ReplyDeleteCheers Brandi. Glad you could stop in. Help yourself to something to eat and drink.
ReplyDeleteGemini, Mommy asked efurrycat to send the big original pikshurs, so they's really big. One of 'em was 8MB, whatever an MB is (Mommy says it's big tho)

Thank you for adding us at the last minute Derby! You & your mum sure put on a terrific bash, and so many October kitties...we had no idea! We thought we could do one or the other so we put in our birthday which is June 1. But mom bringed us home the 3rd friday in Oct. 2003. We were 3 years old then and now we are 6. Thank you everyone for the great time, and the super food & games!

Here's a toast to all the October kitties; along with the ones you lit the candle for. MonkeyBunkey...........(and Coop)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, everyone! I had too much champagne and nip last night...
ReplyDeleteDerby, your Mum throws a great party! Toby and I really appreciate all the effort. Blogger wasn't allowing us to write about it, but we had a wonderful time. I think Toby's sleeping off the food and 'nip.
Catnip and champagne make me feel younger when I have them, but, boy, do my bones ache the next day!
