#GiveAHoot Fundraiser Success

On Friday, July 27, Anipals slipped out of their furs and shells, and dressed up in their best feathery fineness to attend the #GiveAHoot fundraiser in support of our pal Lou @LiveLoveMeow and his mom, Sass.

Homeless, and without a job, Lou's mom struggled to keep Lou safe, especially after the temporary place to stay she found for them turned out to be full of scary hoomans, which put them back out on the street.

But on Friday night, pals flocked around Lou and Sass to show their love and support. By the end of the pawty, the dark clouds that had been hovering over them for a long time were pushed away. They no longer felt alone and afraid. They knew they had family in the Anipals, and were on their way to a Happily Ever After!

Sass owns an on-line business called LiveLoveMeow.biz that sells quality cat-related items. She is now having a SALE to help her afford a permanent home for herself and Lou. Please click on link to see more.

#BedtimeStory with a Pirate

Once Upon A Time...

I was down by the docks when I saw an old sailor that looked just like a pirate from the movies with a peg-leg and an eye-patch. He even a hook for a hand!

I guess I was staring at him because he came stamping over to me and said, "Arrrr! I saw ye lookin at me! Bet yer wond'rin hows I got this peg-leg? Well... it was HORRIBLE!"

Actually, I didn't want to hear the details, but he sat me down and started to tell me anyway.

"Me ship was a cannonading another ship, when they lets go with a broadside themselves," said the pirate. "Whoooom, off goes me leg. Arrrrr!"

Then he turned to walk away when suddenly he turned back and said, "Arrrr. I saw ye still lookin at me! Bet yer wond'rin hows I got this hook fer a hand? Well... it was HORRIBLE!"

Again, I didn't want to hear the details, but there he was, all set to tell me his story.

"Me ship was boarded by Malay pirates and we all draws swords and thrusts and parrys and parrys and thrusts! But I thrusted when I should'a parried. Whomp, off goes me hand! Arrrrr!"

Then he turned to walk away when suddenly he turned back and says... "Arrrr. I saw ye STILL lookin at me! Bet yer wond'rin hows I got this eyepatch? Well... it was HORRIBLE!"

Anxious to get away from this guy cuz I had to go widdle pretty bad, I inpurr-rupted him and said, "I bet you got an itch in your eye and forgot you had a hook for a hand. Arrrrr!"

At that, the old pirate stamped his way down the dock, never once looking back at me.

Moral of the story is, if you has to widdle real bad, avoid pirates.

#BelleHerm Wedding Review

On June 22nd my lovely Belle and I exchanged vows and became Mr. & Mrs. We trended #1 almost immediately and stayed that way long after we left for our honeymoon. The day was lovely, special -- romantic -- all the things a couple in love would want their special day to be.

Below is ShaynaCat's review for The Anipal Times of our wedding.

Bride and Groom with Ring-bearer @JeffMusk: #BelleHerm
Bride and Groom with Ring-bearer @JeffMusk: #BelleHerm
It was a beautiful sunny day on Mackinac Island and the Lilac Festival was in full bloom for the wedding of Herman @TattleCat and his beautiful bride Belle @Frankencat1 on Saturday. Hostess Marie @cats_meows welcomed the arriving guests and @DylCat1 proved a very conscientious guest book attendant, encouraging the couple’s many friends to add their pawtographs and good wishes. The bride was a vision of loveliness in her gorgeous off-the-shoulder white satin gown trimmed with delicately hand-embroidered lilac lace and carrying a sweet-scented bouquet of lilac and gardenias. The groom looked superb in his pale gray suit, white waistcoat, lilac tie and white gloves, carrying a pale gray silk top hat and wearing a matching gardenia in his lapel. Ringbearer @JeffMusk looked magnificent in his lilac silk top hat as he carried the rings, resplendent on their butterfly-shaped lilac cushion, to present to the couple.

Bridesmaid who caught the bouquet: @3phibotticelli at #BelleHerm
Naturally, Twitter chose the worst possible moment to misbehave, freezing just as the couple took their vows, but this provided a very touching moment at the end of the ceremony as Belle and Herman made their vows again so that this time all of the assembled guests could hear. After the excellent speeches by @NerissaTheCat and @TweetingTruman Belle and Herman cut the elegant three-tier wedding cake, with its smooth white frosting decorated with a lavish overlay of flowers carefully hand-sculpted in lilac frosting, then the dancing began. After their romantic first dance together, Belle and Herman entertained their guests with an all-action version of the Chicken Dance. All too soon it was time for the couple to leave in their beautiful white open-topped carriage drawn by a pair of magnificent white carriage-horses, their harnesses, like the carriage itself, lavishly decorated with sprigs of lilac, and pals rushed to get their bags of nip and popcorn to toss at Belle and Herman for good luck. There was one more formality to complete first, though, and bridesmaids and single girl-cats gathered behind Belle as she prepared to toss her bouquet. It sailed high into the air before landing in the paws of bridesmaid @3phibotticelli. Excited pals gathered around her, eager to find out who the lucky bridegroom might be, but Phi smilingly declined to comment. As the happy couple left for their honeymoon, reports coming in from all over the Twitterverse that the event had trended #1 endorsed the opinion of all present that it had been a wonderful occasion, and many glasses of nip champagne were raised in toasts to Belle and Herman’s lasting happiness.
