LOCAL MEWS

= Oldest Resident Earns Wings =

The Village said a sad farewell to their oldest resident this week. Onyxcita Patch Of Beauty The Wimp Purr (Onyx), da Queen ob da World, left to rule at the Rainbow Bridge. Onyx was 21 years old, and had a long and wunnerful life with her fambly. She was a good sisfur and frend to all. She is sadly missed by her mom Aunty Tessa, her many sibkits, her dryer, and her frends in the Village. Rule with an iron will and a soft paw at the Bridge, Onxy ... we will see you again ... {{{ }}}

= A Tornado Moves On =

MeowChat Village lost a good frend and long time resident this week, when Tornado Puma breezed on over the Rainbow Bridge. A long time resident, he was always there for his frends when they needed him. Tornado is very missed by his mom and dad Aunty Marilyn and Unkle Brian, his siblkits, and all of his Village frends. You are flying free for real now, Tornado ... {{{ }}}

= Three�s a Crowd =

Unkle Simba is not happy. Altho he�s been visitin his nefews Gonzo and Squashy Zilly fur a coupla weeks now, the pair of Zillies has not been quite the welcomin committee that Simba was hopin for. �They stalk me,� Simba allejes, altho the bruthers claim that they is just tryin to be frendly. So fur, Aunty Julie has had some luck with separatin them durin the day, and hopefully they will all work out their diffrences soon.

= The Last Leaf =

Sammy Whee has found a wondrous last leaf of the season. It�s a furry speshul one that brings up deep thots of the past and a hope fur the future. Read more about how somefing so simple can mean so much at http://forums.cathobbyist.com/view.php?id=110131,110131

= Happy at Home =

Several kitties in the Village have �moved� resently, and are doing well. Meiko Midask9 is happy as a clam in her new home wif her new fambly. It worked out well fur her, them, and the Midas fambly too, so it must be a fur sure winnin deal all around.
The newest SnowtaKit was named this past week. She chose the name herself (three times!) from slips of folded paper, and ironically it was the same name her newdad had wanted for her. Lynsadiya-Sienna Nikelle ... �Lynsi� ... is doin well at the Farm, altho she is a lil nerbus still around sudden movements. Her new fambly enjoys her furry much.
Wilbur StLouie has been spendin more time inside, altho he still has his nite patrol outside that he must take care of. Purrhaps during the winter days, the patrols can be suspended so he can stay inside all nite long.

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Munchkin Catnip =
Munchkin�s test results camed back, and some of the numbers is worser than they was before, but not by a huje amount. Munchkin is feelin good, eatin purrty well, and not losin wate, so fur now her fambly is happy about that and takin fings one day at a time.

= Beau Wiscat =
Beau had a checkup and way-in at the vetdokter this week, and he is up to a whole ten pounds! His mom and dockter is furry happy about this, and Beau is doin furry well.

THE FOSTER CONNEKSHUN

The Wiscatsin fosterkits all gots their pichurs taked and put on Petfinder.com so hopefully they can be seen by a new fambly that wants to adopt them. There are some more new foster kittens in Mew York as usual, and it seems to be the same rooteen of fattenin them up so they can get helthy fur adopshun too.

HOOMAN BEANS

= Aunty Terri Midask9 =
Aunty Terri resently tooked a test so that she can get an innervue to be able to do the job she alreddy been doin at work. She also had anuther innervue fur a part-time job, and bofe has gone well. She is a good humane ossifer, and all the aminals is lucky to have her care so much fur them.

= Grampa NY =
Tarrigo�s grampa was bringed to the horsepiddle by a frend the other day, but he seems to be doin okeydoke and there hasn�t been a diagnosis of anyfing definite at this time.

~ Hewwo Ash.
I had a kwessyton fur you. I been seein two vewwy wuvely an nice ladykits. I'm not shure which one is de one I wanna chooze fur datin eggsclusively. Do I need to make a choyce or ken I keep datin both indeffnitely? If I gotta chooze, how do I do dat? Tanks fur de advise.
~ Muwway

~ Dear Muwway,
Muwway dis is a classic pwoblem dat we men about town inevitably run up against. Being the Bon Vivant that you is, I am sure you is very popular wiff da ladykits. So, da impurrtant thing here is truffulness and communication. Be sure you convey to dese ladies if you are happy jus datink and aren't lookink to become married, engaged, or otherwise attached. Playink da field is lots ob fun (I myself did a bit ob dat in my younger days). If you is enjoyink boff of dem equally, den keep doink what you is doink.
Now if your heart tell you that you purrfur one ob dem ober da other, than again, you needs to be trufful and communicate these things, especially to da one dat gonna be "dumped" so to meow. Wotefur you do, don't find youself in da posishun of haffink boff ladys show up at your apurrtment at da same time. Be sure to keep a furry accurate little black book, if you get my drift. Remember, dere may be a 3rd lady who come into da picture dat will totally steal your heart away. Wotefur happens, lissen to your heart. When da rite ladykit comes along, you will know it. I know when I found my true luff, Nikki, there were no room fur anyone else. Dood Luck!

~ Cat�s Prayer ~
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To NEVER tell a human that
The world is really ruled by CATS!

The furries at the Treehouse is gettin all discombobulated lately. Furst, Gramma and Grampa Noble packed up then unpacked the rollin house, and desided to stay home instead of goin to Texcat fur the winter. Sammy Whee and fambly was furry happy fur that. Then Grampa Noble started bangin on the house, which Tonks and Chloe thotted was a houseshake happenin! Furtunately, he was just makin holes in the house (!?) to puts in a new dryin masheen.
Nortee the pup has been growin up and it seems he likes to play wif Tonks by grabbin her necklace and tryin to dragg her around. Tonks isn�t too fond of that, and Wheesmom tooked Tonks necklace and taggs off fur now so Nortee don�t get carried away ... and neither will Tonks!

The kitties was not amused at the sudden shower, but luckily there wasn�t too big of a lake.
The Clover Blossom Farm gang also gotted their furry own fish pond in the house. SnowtaDad put minnows from fishin in a biggbowl, and let the kitties watch and pat at them. The water wiggled and wiggled, and Graci was mostly interested in just drinkin it. The kits desided to start a pet minnow adopshun purrogram, so any can contact them fur their furry own pet fishie.

Dat is one terrific queschun! I haff no idea at all. Dese cat food manufacshuers are missing a good bet! So we went to our twusty friend, Google, and searched fur mouse flabored cat food. I was quite surpwised to see that this is a furry common queshun among felines who are smart enuff to use compooters. Of course for all ob us here in MCV dat is sumfing we learned to do when we was furry tiny kittehs. Anyways, here be a link dat eggsplain da anser much bedder den I can: http://www.purpleslinky.com/Humor/Animal/New-Mouse-Flavored-Cat-Food.101497

- Dear Gonzo (you dinn't sign your letter but beink da clefur advice columnest dat I is, I figured out who da letter was frum),
You gots a pwoblem dere buddy. Poor Unkul Simba is at strange house wiff strange smells and you KNOWS you is strange. Besides, they are defensiff growls and hisseys not aggwessive ones. He jus plain noivous. Now you jus go dwink some pink lemonade fur dat cotton mouf and leave him be fur a bit. I knows you guys are twyink to be good hosts, but he obviously not haffink none of it. I gess it's troo, you can choose you fwends but you can't choose your fambily. And if him not like da smell of you, well den you mite shood change your colone to sumfing nicer. Eau de Butt may not be hims favorite colone. Haff you twied Eau de Fish Bweaf? It a luffly smell and may help wiff da introducshuns. Good luck and Good luck to Unkul Simba too.

= Kitty KrackUps =

�A friend has been considering getting a cat, and is keen to get something a little bit out of the ordinary. He recently read about a breed known as the Golden Apeldoorn, quite a rare breed of cat from Holland, and little known outside its homecountry. With its elegant manner, and striking orange fur, this breed was developed in royal circles, and became a favorite pet of the late Queen Juliana.
He has seen what appeared to be one on display in a pet shop, and decided to call in. While this was certainly a very elegant cat, finding it in a shop like this made him suspicious, so he decided that, before parting with any money, he would insist on seeing proper proof of the
cat's pedigree.
Or, to put it another way, how dutch is that moggy in the window?� ;)

= Cat on the Move =

Hi everykit and species,
This is Squashy, your cat staring at the spare room door. Why am I staring at the door you ask? Because Uncle Simba is in there and Gonzo and I want to play with him, but he wants nothing to do with us. He is growling and hissing at us and we are trying to be nice. Sheesh!!!
But I digress...
He obviously needs some good HaHa pictures to help him relax, and what a perfect picture to show him of Gabby, this week's winner of the HaHa contest. She got herself all contorted in that scratcher and looks like she has a major case of the giggles. Congratulations Gabby!
Second place went to Remi this week with the tea box stuck on his head. Somekit please tell this information to him since his eyes are blocked by the box. Third place went to Gonzo and Charlie. Concatulations to all of our entrants in the contest.
You get from now until Wednesday, October 29th to post your costume pictures. That is 2 weeks. Please do not wait until the last minute to post them, cuz you will forget and you know it cuz your brain is focused on kibbles and catnip.
There will be different CATagories, but you are going to have to read the boards to see the catagories to know where to post. Remember to put your name in the subject heading as well.

Luff,
~ Squashy, your cat at the water dish. (I have given up on Simba and moved on)

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!

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 ...

= 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.

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!

LOCAL MEWS

= Loss of Longtime Resident =

The Village was greatly saddened this week to hear that Diana DexConDi ... a MeowChat Village resident fur 10 years ... had passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. Eben tho Diana and her bruthers and sisfur hadn�t been able to come to chat wif us, the Village was kept infurmed of their goings on thru Mayor Catnip. Diana had been battlin cansfur, and doing well wif her keemo, when she suddenly tooked a turn fur the worse wif libber purroblems.
Diana is surbibed by her mom Aunty Jackie, and her siblins Dexter, Conner, and Emmy. She will be furry much missed by all who knewed her. You are free now, Diana .... fly happy and we�ll see you again someday ... {{{ }}}

= Kitty Angel =

Anuther sad loss befell MeowChat Village this week, with the loss of Crash Mainecat. Crash slipped out of the house late at nite, and lost her battle wif a metal monster. She is sadly missed by her mom and dad Aunty Jaime and Unkle Steven, and fursiblins Gabby, Mya, and Quinn. Happy adbenchurs to you, Crash, and we will all miss your purrty face .... {{{ }}}

= Fire! =

The Kitkat fambly has been dealt anuther blow; on Friday, their home catched on fire! A plummer doin some work unnerneaf the mobile home somehow set off a spark and a fire, which caused lotsa smoke to get into the home. Furtunately, Aunty Linda and all of the kits got out safely. Fur more details on this story, and to send GLOW, see http://forums.cathobbyist.com/view.php?id=109368,109368

= Jaunty New Jakket =

Murray Purrple has got himself some new threds this week. After gettin the wrong size walkin jakket at furst, he now has a spiffy new walkin jakket that is just his size. He�s gettin used to wearin it, and hopefully will be able to show it off soon wif a walk down to the Town Square. Be on the watch out, single girlkits ... this fashunable dood is abailable. ;)

= Hammerin and Sawin =

Larry and Russell Snowta, along wif their dad and papa (the other papa) was bizzy this past week clearin out and buildin a new floor fur the lil hay barn on Clover Blossom Farm. Larry instructed his hoomans on how to do effurryfing rite, and the floor turned out furry nice.
Meanwhile, afore the floor got done, Graci Snowta and a coupla other Villagers were �splorin in the barn tryin to help out, and got themselfs into quite some interestin sichuashuns. Check out All Around the Town below to see what�s been goin on ....

= Nice Bafftime =

Sylvie Wiscat got a nice lil surprise the other day. Eben tho most kitties don�t like bafftime, this was a furry speshul baff she got, indeed. Big sisfur Annie-Claire desided to help her lil siblin out by givin her a good face and headwashin. Crouchin down ober her, Annie spended a long time bein a good aunty and givin Sylvie some nice motherin. Meanwhile, Sylvie purred contentedly at the nice time they had togeffur.

= A Happy Annipurrsary =

Amazinly enuff, Buttercup Midask9 has just sellybrated her furst annipurrsary of bein at her fureber home wif her fambly. That year went mitey quick, and Butternut has grown from a lil kitten to a beeyooteeful young lady. Happy Annipurrsary to you, Butterfly!

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Muffin StLouie =
Muffin saw the vetdokter and had her red number checked again. Unfurtunately, it went back down again to 25, so Muffin got a ruth�n�pete�n shot. That should bring her red number back up again where it belongs.

= Beau Wiscat =
Beau had a checkup a few days ago, and along wif his mom, the whole clinic is rejoycing. Beau is up to 9.3 pounds now (!), which is about 3 pounds more than he was when he wasn�t feelin so good. Beau is doin purrty good now, and effurry is concatulatin him on a job well done.

= Fiona Kitkat =
Fiona had blood stoled fur tests last week, and didn�t get such good mews. Her kittney numbers is all furry high, and her vetdokter finks she is in end-stage kittney failure. Fiona is so far feelin not too bad, so her mom is takin each day at a time and treetin the kitty, not the numbers.

THE FOSTER CONNECKSHUN

Fur as we can tell, effurryfing is a-okeydoke in the foster/tempurrary furries depurrtment! One of the NY foster kittens got a new home, and effurry foster/tempurrary around the Village is doin okey.

HOOMAN BEANS

= Aunty Kaffy Furlorida =

This is Squashy, your cat in the dreamland. I has been snoozing and dreaming all week and I still am in the middle of a snooze. I am currently snoozing right in the middle of mommy�s bed. It is the most convenient place for me to make sure I get affections whenever I wants them.
But I digress. Mommy has had a mopey week. She moping around like a big whiney baby just cuz she wants to mope for no good reason. So therefore, I has developed a plan to unmope mommy. A happy mommy is a mommy that pays closer attention to my food bowl and cat box.
So, da plan for this week is to have a new photo contest. This contest is entitled �hahaha� The idea is to make mommy laugh and get her out of the mopeys. All pictures must be submitted by Wednesday night and voting then starts. You can vote until Friday Night. You get 6 votes but you can not give more than one vote to any kit.

Sincerely yours,

As summer turns into autumm (or into winter, or back into summer ... or whateber the wether desides to do today), the Villagers have been furry bizzy. They can be seen in their yards, and in the Village Square, decoratin fur fall and Halloween. At Clover Blossom Farm, the pumkins is turnin orangey and are almost reddy fur pickin fur Halloween, and the corn is dryin on the stawks. The valley below, near the Catnip Ribber, looks nearly on fire wif the beeyooteeful changin fall colors. Can the annual Ribberboat Cruize be far away?
A new lil Villager joined the community last week, and a sad goodbye was sed to another. The baby foto contest was fun to look at, and a hooman got some really grate mews the other day. Find out what�s mew around your Village, rite here in the Mews!

LOCAL MEWS

= Angel Kitty =

The Village bid a peaceful journey to the Bridge to Smudge Midask9 resently. Smudge wasn�t doin too well wif fings, and her mom and dad gently sent her on where she could be happy and free again. She will be missed by her luvin mom and dad and fursiblins, and her many frends in the Village. We are happy you are happy now, Smudge .... best wishes in your new adbenchurs ...

= New Lil Villager =

The Kitkat fambly got a new lil sisfur last week. Lil Kia (furmerly known as Kiab, for Kitten In A Box), is about 4 months old, and was a stray kitty. She played spades last week successfully, and was bringed home to meet her new bruthers and sisfurs. Bruther Ray is showin her around the house, and Kia enjoys sleepin on the HSCB. She is furry happy to be in her new fureber home.

= Pichur Time =

Besides all the luvly baby pichurs that were shown this week, Shelby Floridacat-Wiscat posted some pichurs of herownself. She is still the luvly gal she was 10 years ago. She also shared, in a chat, some wunnerful artwork that her mom has done and some other pichurs. The Villagers oohed and ahhed ober them, and was happy that Shelby had shown them.

= Not Fair =

Some pawrents in the Village has been found gilty of lockin kitties in clawsets unfairly! Graci Snowta found herself shut in a bedroom clawset the other day after she went lookin fur her daddy in there, and he shut the door! Her mom called and called fur her for a furry long time, and looked effurrywhere in the house. Finely she heard Graci callin, and let the confoozled lil wide-eyed Purrshun out. Graci indignantly desided to sell her pawrents on cBay, but frends meowed her out of that.
Maddie Catnip was also locked in a closet obernite resently, wif no litterbox or nuffin! She was ritely upset and tried to offer her pawrents up to the highest bidder too, but unfurtunately, the market fur used pawrents is furry slow rite now.

= Dum Computers =

The Snowtas� computer is throwin hissy fits the last few days ... ironically, one year after it did the same fing. Just flat out refused to go online, hmmph. Pawsibly an A*L purroblem, despite SnowtaMom uninstallin, reinstallin, and pullin her headfur out, this time the computer sits and laffs at her. So, they is usin a old, slow one fur now, which likes to play MisterFreezie sometimes, so don�t be surprised iffen you see them on and offline like jumpin beens.

THE MEOWDICAL REPURRT

= Melanie & Muffin StLouie =
Melly saw the new vetdokter lady the other day fur a lumpie that she�s had on her face fur awhile, but it was gettin a lil biggerer. The vetlady sed is wasn�t too much to worry about and just to keep an eyeboll on it. Muffin also had a checkup and had her red number checked ... she is back up to 37, so no ruth�n�pete�n shot fur now.

= Munchkin Catnip =
Munchkin got her numbers back from the vetdokter, and the good mews is that her kittney numbers has impurroved, bofe the buns and the creechur numbers. Her red number did go down tho, so Munchkin gonna get her blood ironed out to help.

= Justin NYC =
Justin got his test results back too, and it showin that he is startin to make bladder diamonds. His mom is gonna chanje his food and give him some cranbaby supplyments, and hopefully that will help.

= Graci Snowta =
Graci was supposeta have her toofies cleened and some pulled out this week, but after havin her blood stoled and tested, the vet did not wanna do it. Graci�s buns and creechur numbers have bofe gone up a lot, and the vetdokter sed the auntythesia would be too risky. Graci�s red number was about the same as last time, so she just gonna keep gettin her normal food and medisin rooteen, wif water torchur twice a day now.

= Tita Hulakit =
Tita has been gettin some shots and fings in purrepurrashun of movin to Hawaii soon. Iffen she gets all her shots and stuff taked care of here in adbance, then she only hasta have a short kwaranteen when she get to the island.

THE FOSTER CONNECKSHUN

= Lawn Guyland =
A former rescue kitty who had been adopted by Aunty Dottie�s sisfur passed on to the Bridge last week. Cynthia had libber disease, and was too sick to go on. An adopshun fair brought in a thousand greenpapers last weekend, and adopted out 7 kitties, so that was good mews. In other sad mews, a lil oranjey kitty named OJ that had been adopted out was bringed in to a vet and told be be send to the Bridge cuz he lunjed at the lady. OJ was found to have injuries on him, and the ladies is furry upset about this. Litterbom misshuns and DNA lists has been discussed, along wif other creatiff ways of dealin wif animal abusers ....

= Wiscatsin =
ARF had its crafty sale this past weekend, and altho the greenpaper amount isn�t offishully in, the crafters were pleased wif their sales, and ARF was happy wif the donashuns. Aunty Norma was furry tired tho, after her long weekend of organizin and helpin wif this ebent.

= Mew York =
A furry young kitten has gone to the Bridge after resently havin been found and cared for. Several other foster kits and I fink a goggies has arrived in Mew York too to be fostered.

= Minnesnowta =
One of the feral barnkitties was trapped and tootered last week; Rico(chet) did fine and was released about 24 hours after sturjery. Rebel, the barnkitten inside, was also tootered and got stikky shots last week, so he can be hopefully adopted out better. One more kitten to be trapped ...

Hello, this is Squashy, your cat on the bed. I gots my belly in the air like I just don't care, neither. I kits got to go belly up after a full meal you know. It helps with the digestion.
I digress....
Anyhow, the winner of this week's contest is Lorelei, and Gus and Rocky came in second place. Third place went to Gonzo and Sylvie. Another fine contest was had by all.
We will be taking a week off, but you need to start getting your Halloween costumes ready. We will be having 2 different Halloween contests coming up. One with Photoshopped pictures and one with actual dressed up kits. You all needs to start planning it out now.
Concats to the winners this week and special glows for Lorelei's win.

~ Squashy, your belly up cat.
