We welcomed a new Kat and a new Kitten to
our humble litter today, Kountess Kalico
Kitty (Jean), and Lady Dancin Kitty (Amanda). Also in attendance today were Cleopurrrtra Queen of De’Nile
(Faye), Miss Kitty (Miss Kitty), Queen of Vices, Scarlet O’Katta
(Vonnie), Princess Purrsian
Kitti (Christi), Madam GiGi
(Gail), Kountess Katnip
(Samantha), Sassy Kat Woman (Shawn) and Princess Pink Panther (Brenda) Kountess Katnip (Samantha) and Sassy Kat Woman (Shawn) were our
co-queens and planned a wonderful day at the Hermitage for our April/May
outings. We met promptly (ha ha ha) at 9:00 and of course,
Sassy Kat Woman whome we all know loves saving money,
had discount coupons for us to use so our trip was half price. The Hermitage was beautiful inside and
out. Several of our Kats and Kittens had
never visited the Hermitage and for others it had been years. The tour guides were dressed in period costumes
and one of them had quite an interesting personality. I think she recognized class (and trouble)
when we walked in. She obviously did
not recognize that a Queen was present and told our beloved to “stay off the
wooden floors, and only to walk on the carpeted areas!! She also snapped at our official Kats/Kittens
photographer Princess Pink Panther (Brenda) for taking a photo inside the
mansion. Like we were supposed to be
listening while she was explaining all these rules?? At least we didn’t pee pee
on the floor like most kats would have done when
being fussed at!! Kountess
Katnip was very knowledgeable of AJ (Andrew Jackson)
and was a very good tour guide herself.
I do question a couple of things she said such as “Michael Jackson might
be a descendent (lol). After touring the mansion, we visited the
beautiful gardens of the Hermitage where Queen of Vices, Scarlet O’Katta (Vonnie) wanted to have a
group picture by the gazebo (tomb of AJ).
We got quite a lot of attention in our
Kasual Kitty attire – of course some of our pink hatters dressed up for the
occasion and wore stilettos but never complained about the walk at all. We had an exquisite lunch at Monell’s and a chance to relax and chat. We discovered that we may have a star amongst
us - our newest Kitten Lady Dancin Kitty (Amanda)
recently tried out for the search for the best dancer in the Princess Pink Panther (Brenda) took some
great pictures so check them out. You
could download and print your favorite. Thanks
Shawn and Sam for a great day!!! |
