Happy First Birthday, Rocio!

Rocio:  Hiya, Dudes and Dudettes!  It's my first birthday and I am now officially a mancat.  Bring on the niptinis and meowgaritas!  We even have a bottle of Dom Perimeow nip champagne to toast me with.  Mom is really late posting this because she has been doing Mom things all day.  She had to go to the pet supply store and knowing it is my birthday, do you know what she brought home? A new PTU!  What kind of birthday present was that?

Karen Jo:  I also brought home a small bag of new treats.  I know it is a tiny bag, a sample, really, but you like them.  I had to get another PTU because I was one short in case I need to put all of you in PTUs at the same time.  I don't know if it has made the national news, but we have a forest fire near here called the Thompson Ridge fire.  It is growing due to windy conditions and rough terrain.  We are getting burned up pine needles falling from the sky in town.  I am hoping that if I have everything I need to evacuate, I won't have to.  The fire is still miles away, but if a strong wind blows up in just the right (wrong?) direction it can travel mighty fast.

Rocio:  Anyway, we are having a party tonight, inside only I'm afraid.  There is smoke and ash outside and it isn't very healthy.  We are having nip drinks for the grown up kitties and milk and water for the kittens.  We have a great stereo and lots of dance records.  Mom has put out a buffet with a whole salmon, tuna steaks, roast beef, a turkey and a roast chicken.  We have cheese cubes and sardines to snack on.

Mom says she will be happy to wave the wand toys around.  With all of us kitties, she has learned how to hold two wands in each hand, so there are plenty to go around.  We have toys galore including some almost new nip balls from Yeow!  that are really great. There is loose nip on a piece of paper on the floor, it you can get to it with Spyro trying to hog it all.  We have a nice hall for THoE and room for rasslin'.  There is plenty of furniture, both human and cat for napping or just resting.  The bird TV is turned off, sorry to say.  Mom filled the feeders and the birdbath, but we didn't have any takers.  Maybe the smoke has chased them away.

Let's turn on the music and dance the night away!
