What a great sleep I had Kali. My word, I slept so hard…it must’ve been all the fun at Cat Scouts yesterday. I wrapped myself in the Canadian Flag. MOL
It’s my Gotcha Day, mom. Did you make a special meal for me. Sure did Shoko.
*Shoko opens the blinds on the sliding glass door* Surprise Shoko….we remembered it was your Gotcha Day. AWWW…you dudettes!! I sure love you two.
Woohoo..let’s get out of here and join the fun!
Mom brought out some more nibbles for us and our peeps.
Mmm…it doesn’t get any fresher than this my friends.
Don’t worry! The lemonade is spiked with 7 up and a few cherries.
Hey Bacon, you can have all the carrots if you want…we got them for you my little snorter.
Shoko reached the level of Sabertooth Tiger in Cat Scouts Saturday. This is the highest level a kitty can reach in Cat Scouts….we are so proud.
Remember last year mom…..you didn’t know how to make a Gotcha Cake then….MOL… Move on Shoko….let’s not tell everybody that I am still learning and sometimes get terrifyingly mixed up…shhh. Alright mom! Geesh.

Easy barked out his food order to Sammy but he barked in French and nobody understood him! So Sammy gave him one of everything and Easy sat down and ate all of it.
Sorry no chicken here today Cupcake. Try a Fish Witch, they’re delicious! I invented them…I’m going to tell Raz so he can cook them at his Friday Fish Fry on Cat Scouts.
Hi there my little cuz…great to see you Dharth. Your friends are more than welcome too. Dig in…either in the garden or for some great food. MOL
Here are some beautiful cards that I received for my Gotcha Day

From Nellie The original Cat From Hell

From Dezi of Dezi World

from Sammy K. of One Spoiled Cat

from Easy of Easy Blog

From Bacon of Piglove

Shoko’ss Gotcha Day from Siddhartha Henry of Purrince Siddhartha’s Purrfect Pad
Here are the treats for your peep from mom. These are strictly fresh from the garden.
For the kitties here are some treats to take home.
Hope you all had a fantastic time…I sure did my friends. I owe this to my sis Kali…I really thought she forgot me….boy was I wrong.
oh that niptini looks great… I love green things… is there absinth inside too? just asking before we remove our ears LOL … oh wow you got a card with real butterflies… lets have a funny butterfly-hunt :o) Happy Happy Gotcha Day dear Shoks!…can I get one of that stinkie thingies please?

Yes, some of the nipitinis have absinth in them. Um..ah..woops…not sure which ones. You’ll just have to take a sip out of each one Easy….but don’t tell anyone. So don’t leave any lumps in the ones you don’t want. OK, big guy.
Kitty kisses,
Kali
