LOCAL MEWS

= Shrimpie Angel =

The Shrimpie Clan has had an angel occurrence this past week, with the loss of kitty Velvet. Bendy says his sisfur was sick, and the time had come to say goodbye to her. Velvet is missed by her human mom and many siblings. Fly on free and well, Velvet ....

= Rooarrr! Part Two =

Lions is where it’s at, it seems, and not just on the Afrikan Adbenchur! Several lions has been spotted around the Village .... Jordi and Becci SnowtaKit, as you know, becomed lions a coupla weeks ago. Squashy Zilly has also had his fur done in this stylish style, and as usual, looks dashing. Peanut Butter Shrimpie’s mom gived him his own lion cut, and his siblins feared their mom was on a fur collectin spree.
Other Villagers are ankshus to jump on the regal furcut wagon. Nortee Whee barks that he too may become a fashunable goggie-lion soon. Lynsi SnowtaKit is skedulin a lion furcut of her own, prolly next month, and Trickzi and Hairy HDTVKits have been also considerin gettin a new ‘do. Trickzi, howeber, is a lil confoozled on the matter, and fears that it’s really a “lyin’ cut” and she might hafta get one cuz she’s been tellin a few fibs lately!

= BrrrChilly =

The Noblekits hadda rely on some bodyheat and other means of stayin warm fur a while when their heatmasheen in their house went kaput! It stopped makin heat, and until daddyDon was able to get a part and fix it, the kitties snuggled togeffur and with their pawrents to keep warm. They had some heeters, which helped, but were all furry happy when the heetmasheen was fixed and blowin hot air again.

= Interestin Sellybrashuns =

The Village may soon eggsperience a first ... iffen you can beleef that. A kit who has come of age in hooman years has desided (okay, his dad has kinda desided fur him) that he would like to have a cat mitzvah sellybrashun. After scourin the Village fur a rabbi or some kit who could help purrform the saramoney, this editor finally manajed to have a coupla kits bolunteer to help lead it. Sammy Ccarlini and Caleb Furrlorida will help the sellybrant with his cat mitzvah at an upcomin unspesified date, altho look fur it furry soon! The sellybrant will remain unknown at this poynt until the saramoney, cuz then it will be really fun to see which kit it is. ;)
The Nobles had Fanksgivin early (or late, dependin on your poynt of view) when momDani cooked a whole Fanksgivin dinner cuz they gotted a turkee to eat. They shared with Sammy Whee, and all purrclamed it a yummy dinner.
