FROM THE EDITOR

Ahh, the smell of evenin campfires burnin in the backyard firepit, the roar of combines harvestin the soybeens and corn, and the nip of chill in the air ... it’s autumn at Clover Blossom Farm. The squashes and punkins has all been picked, and it’s just about time to put away all the summer fountains and decorashuns, and make a scarecrow! Don’t furget to come and grab a punkin afore Halloween!
It’s been one of them weeks again, wif some ups and some downs. Furtunately, fings seem to be goin okey fur now, so the Village sighs in releef. A wayward grrlkit camed home, there was roomers of a speshul get-togeffur, and a lil kitty had some bigg meowdical trubbles. Find out what happened around our luvly Village this week, rite here in the Mews!

LOCAL MEWS

= Welcum Home! =

After havin been in The Out fur a long time (several weeks, months eben?), Smudge Purr was finely collared, so to meow, and is back in The In! Smudge neber strayed far, and purrty much stayed in her own yard nearby, but she hadn’t been lettin her mom catch her. The other day, Smudge let down her gard while goin fur dindin, and was swooped up by Aunty Tessa. Smudge wasn’t too happy about the capchur at furst, but she gonna be real happy soon to be back in. You can see a pichur of the beeyooteeful Smudge in her porch at

= Winnin the Battles =

Murray Purrple has been doin really good lately in winnin some ‘battles’ wif his mom. He desided that the new walkin jakket wasn’t his cup of tea, and played ‘sleepy cat’ wheneber she tried to have him walk. Draggin a cat is no fun, his mom gaved it up, so score one fur Murray! He also manajed to get his mom to stop the innernet datin fing, so that Murray is his mom’s only man in her life now. Score anuther point fur Murray! He is currently ‘home alone’ while his mom is off havin a bacashun in SandyAgo, but no doubt will set some more rools fur her when she gets home.

= MeowChat Pawrent Bisit? =

There’s been roomers floatin around the Village that some of the MeowChat pawrents was gonna get togeffur in Mew York this weekend, but we hasn’t got confurmashun or details yet .... we will bring you updates as they come in.

= Update on Kitkat Fambly =

A coupla Meowchat moms talked wif Aunty Linda this week, and altho she seems to be doin okey, she is still in shok at the loss of some of her posseshuns and prolly her home too. She was gonna talk to a hooman lawyerkit to see about gettin some greenpapers from the plummin company that started the fire.

= Fun Snax =

Moxie Mainecat got herself in a bit of trubble this week when she desided to nibble some of the flowers that her dad had gived her mom fur her mom’s purrday last week. She then purrceeded to get an upset tummy from it, and got yukkies all ober her breeches. Her mom and dad wasn’t upset at her fur long, and all is furgived.
Ober at the Farm, Kelby Snowta manajed to snagg a bagg of cheese popcorn off the desk, and rip it open and help hissownself to a snak. He was nice enuff to share wif Larry, Emma, and Rebel, and there wasn’t too much in the bagg, so his mom didn’t mind too much.

= Anuther Fun Snax and an Eggscape =

Lil Buttercup Midask9 has had a debilish streek in her resently. While her mom was cleanin out the jerbbil caje, Buttercup desided that see what they tasted like, and grabbed one sof them jerbbils in her mouf. Her mom catched her and shaked her ober the kwarium caje until she dropped it, so alas, she only got a taste of the fur.
Buttercup also desided to take an oppurrtoonaty to run into The Out when she had the chance, altho she was quikly grabbed by her furry tale and brot back into the house where she belonged. No tellin what Buttercup mite be up to next week ...

= Majical or Mysterious =

The Snowtakit’s computer majically or mysteriously desided to go online resently after havin refused to fur weeks. No clue on why this happened, but the Snowtakits isn’t complainin as long as they can get online again..


THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Pita Alaskycat =
Sassy dropped by wif an update on her sonkit Pita’s meowdical condishun as of late. He is doin okeydoke, and his red number did come back up. Howeber, he still limpin, and the vetdokter sed he gots the Arfuritis. Pita is eggsploring opshuns on meds and supplyment.s

= Graci Snowta =
Graci Snowta had a bad time the other nite, when she suddenly had five violent seezhurs within a few hours. Her pawrents called the vet, but opted to keep her at home rather than send her to the horsepiddle. She was a lil better the next morning, as shown by her tood at the vetdokters where she scratched and tried to bite effurryone. Her blood shows she gots hi-fosfurrus, and a few other fings outta whack, so new fings will be tried to help her, and she havin more tests on Monday.


THE FOSTER CONNEKSHUN

= Lawn Guyland =
A Home At Last is havin a crafty sale this comin weekend, and hopefully they will raise lotsa greenpapers fur the rescue.

There was a nibble on a home fur Rebel fosterkitten, but that purrson hasn’t called back in a coupla days, so not sure where it stands fur now.


HOOMAN BEANS

= Aunty Connie Pepsicola =
Aunty Connie got word of losin her favorite unkle in Chermany this week, and altho he was elderly and ill, she was sad to hear of this mews.

= SnowtaPapa =
Papa got sended to EyeSeeYou in a regular horsepiddle the other day, where it was found that in addishun to effurryfing else, he had a blood buggie. It was prolly from a prior transfoozlin, so they tooked all of Papa’s blood out and put in all new blood, and now it seems that the blood buggies is gone, so he will hopefully feel betterer.

See the kitten on the wall
Sporting with the leaves that fall.
But the kitten, how she starts,
Crouches, stretches, paws and darts!
First at one, and then its fellow,
What intenseness of desire
In her upward eye of fire!

Hello, this is Squashy, your kit on the small cardboard scratcher. I am nappink on it right now on accounta I know it makes Gonzo just a little miffed when I do. I am funny that way. Speaking of funny... What is with the lack of HaHa pictures this week? You know there are plenty of kits and humans that could use some HaHa's right now so hop to it. This week's contest has been extended. I will set up a link on the boards to get you to the original thread. You will go there and you will post pictures until Wednesday. Then on Wednesday you will go
back and look at the pictures and you will go to my email address and you will vote. Am I making myself clear? You will make kits and humans laugh whether you like it or not, so hop to it!!!
When the time comes you will vote at squashy@sbcglobal.net . Don't make me come to your house and annoy you too as much as I annoy Gonzo.
